The people behind Nairobi Skincare
Claire and Chadley started Nairobi Skincare from personal experience in 2023.
Claire with eczema, Chadley with hyperpigmentation and acne. After years of trying product after product, they made the skincare they themselves were looking for.
"If we can help ourselves, why not help others?"
The product that started it all
The Body Butter Classic is still the heart of the line. A light, buttery texture that melts into your skin like oil, intensely nourishing, fast-absorbing, with a subtle glow. No preservatives, no water. Just pure ingredients that actually do something.
"A body butter with water is just a body lotion in disguise. We choose pure."
WE START NOT JUST AS A BRAND, BUT AS A MISSION
Every ingredient starts with an honest story.
The name Nairobi Skincare is a tribute to Africa, the continent where the power behind our products begins. A large part of our ingredients are sourced directly and fairly from this rich continent.
Our pure, unrefined shea butter comes from Ghana, as does the base of our African Black Soap. Our argan oil comes straight from Morocco. And these are just a few examples, many of the ingredients in our collection trace their roots back to Africa.
With every purchase, you support the local producers who grow, harvest and craft these ingredients by hand, so they can keep doing what they do best, independently and with pride.
