Eu’Genia Shea, a mother-daughter owned social enterprise, has expanded their expertise in West African shea into the home care niche. This dish soap is formulated specifically for the wellness professional who spends their day in tactile work and needs a cleaning product that won't strip the skin of essential moisture.

The shea used in this soap is sourced from a cooperative of over 7,500 women in Northern Ghana. Eu'Genia's model ensures that 15% of all profits are returned to these women in the form of educational grants for their children. This veteran-supported brand focus ensures that your purchase has a direct, measurable impact on family stability in Sub-Saharan Africa.
