Story behind product:

The desert date oil is extracted from the kernel of the desert date fruit. This tree species is heat and drought resistant therefore used to restore degraded area in many parts of Africa. Part of our mission is to work closely with producers to maintain the reproduction of the trees as they are not only an important source of revenue but also an environment protection.

Our Desert date oil has been sourced directly from women producers in Senegal and Mauritania.

The rediscovery of this oil took me back to my origins, the village of my great grandparents in the village of Daraa located in Mauritania. Although I grew up in Senegal, my great grandparents came from Mauritania which is a neighboring country of Senegal located in the Northern border.

I had a great opportunity to visit my grandparents' village and met incredible hard-working women who tirelessly try to improve the conditions of their lives. Their main source of revenues are mainly from the agriculture. Although the village is rich in natural resources, the women have no choices but to send their youngsters to the nearest rural locations to seek work and or basic education.

Working with the cooperative of women of Daraa and Dieuk which is another neighboring village will provide sustainable income to allow them to improve the conditions of their lives but most importantly to build basic structures to maintain a decent life and prevent rural exodus.

Our mission is to help build self-confidence in girls and women of all colors as well as improving the life of our women producers through fair-trade and sustainability while respecting traditional values.
