About
Yomoï
Whenever my grandmother came to the city for a visit, she always brought with her homemade soap and her homemade moisturizer. She took pride of her skin by religiously keeping it well moisturized using that concoction.
She will come out of the shower glowing and shinny; smelling like roasted nuts. That peculiar smell; would linger in her room weeks after her departure. I remember asking her why her moisturizer smelled so much like roasted nuts; she then told me it was because she would roast palm nuts, then grind them finely to extract the oil. That extraction would be decanted and then used as moisturizer on her body as well as her natural hair.
The ingenuity and that love of using natural products on her doorsteps stayed with me and is at the front forth of YOMOÏ cosmetics today. We are continuing with grandma Legacy!
Our mission
To provide the very best in skincare to the deserving woman and man of all walk of life. We strive to grow our business using ethical and sustainable ingredients to deliver luxurious and unapologetical products.
Our roots
In the small rural villages of Cameroon women live off the land by growing food while taking care of their families. In Ghana they gather in cooperatives to collect, process and sell shea nuts to provide for their families.
Yomoï aims at bringing the fruit of these women’s production to a wider public. By working with the women cooperatives, we seek to honour these cornerstones of African heritage and give them what they deserve: a decent price for their work and prospects for the future. We want to support and encourage their grind and allow them to continue to provide for themselves and for the future of their children.
Our teams carefully select only the best natural ingredients. With their knowhow we are able to deliver first-class products.
