About Us
About the brand
Ekua Essentials is committed to harnessing the natural richness of Ghanaian botanicals. We specialize in creating skincare products that celebrate the traditional wisdom and healing properties of West African ingredients.
At Ekua Essentials, we believe in the power of nature to nurture and restore skin health. Our journey begins in the heart of Ghana, where we carefully source premium ingredients that are revered for their moisturizing, soothing, or purifying benefits, making them essential elements of our skincare formulations.
We take pride in our partnerships with Ghana’s locals to ensure fair trade practices and sustainable sourcing, while also supporting thriving communities. Each of our products tell a story of empowerment and tradition, passed down through generations.
About our products
The majority of our ingredients are imported from Ghana, located in West Africa. We ensure the authenticity of our ingredients. They are purchased wholesale from local shop owners who handcraft them. Each product is made in small batches to ensure quality. Your support of our business allows us to continue to support other small businesses and communities in Ghana.
About the Owners
Ekua Essentials was founded in 2024 by three sisters, Nina, Nana and Rachel. We grew up in the United States, but have deep roots in Ghana. Ekua Essentials is more than just a skincare company—it’s a testament to our family legacy, cultural pride, and the transformative power of natural ingredients.
Born into a family with rich Ghanaian heritage, we were raised with a profound appreciation for our roots. From an early age, we were immersed in the natural beauty rituals of Ghana, guided by our mother, we learned the significance of preserving cultural traditions. We also learned invaluable lessons in entrepreneurship from a family of serial entrepreneurs.
Inspired by our upbringing and driven by a shared passion for natural skincare, we embarked on a journey to introduce the world to the healing properties of Ghanaian botanicals. Ekua Essentials is not just another skincare brand; we are a celebration of Ghanaian heritage and a beacon of natural beauty. With each product, we invite you to embark on a journey of self-care that honors tradition and radiates authenticity.
