Our Story

At Asana Shea, we believe in the transformative power of shea butter to heal and nourish the skin. Our journey began with a story of love, perseverance, and the desire to find relief for a little girl named Baby Julie.

Julie, like many children, suffered from severe eczema that caused her constant discomfort and distress. Despite trying countless treatments and remedies, nothing seemed to provide the relief she so desperately needed. Frustrated and determined to find a solution, Julie's mother turned to the healing properties of shea butter, a natural remedy trusted for centuries in Ghana, West Africa (where Asana is from).

Witnessing the remarkable improvement in Julie's skin and overall well-being after using shea butter inspired her mother to share this discovery with others. They founded Asana Shea with a mission to provide high-quality, ethically sourced shea butter products that harness the purest essence of nature to promote skin health and healing.

In the quiet moments between caring for patients and pouring over textbooks, Emmanuel, a dedicated nurse student, found himself reflecting on the timeless remedies of his childhood. Growing up in a vibrant community where shea butter was a common household staple, he witnessed its miraculous effects firsthand as it soothed and healed countless skin ailments among the young and old alike.

As he progressed in his studies and embarked on his nursing journey, he couldn't ignore the prevalence of skin problems plaguing his patients—eczema, dryness, irritation, and more. His heart ached for their discomfort, and he yearned to offer solutions that would provide genuine relief.

Yet, amidst the sea of skincare products lining the shelves, he discovered a troubling truth—many shea butter products marketed as "natural" or "pure" were far from it. Diluted with additives and fillers, they lacked the potency and efficacy of true shea butter, leaving consumers disillusioned and skin conditions untreated.

Driven by his passion for authenticity and fueled by his desire to make a difference, he embarked on a mission to reclaim the healing power of shea butter. Drawing from his childhood memories and the wisdom of his community, he sought out the purest, most ethically sourced shea butter he could find, determined to create a line of products that would deliver genuine results.

Thus, Asana Shea was born—a labor of love infused with the spirit of healing and the essence of authenticity. Each product meticulously crafted to honor the tradition of shea butter, providing comfort and relief to skin of all ages.

For him, Asana Shea is more than just a skincare brand—it's a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of genuine connection. It's a reminder that amidst life's complexities, the simplest remedies often hold the key to our well-being.

As a nurse student, he knows firsthand the importance of quality skincare and the impact it can have on overall health. With Asana Shea, he hopes to inspire others to reconnect with nature's healing touch and to embrace the beauty of authenticity.

Join him on this journey of rediscovery. Together, let us honor the timeless wisdom of shea butter and celebrate the beauty of genuine care.
