About Us
GET TO KNOWS US
“I created Ekin Cosmetics to reconnect with my roots and share Africa’s skin treasures with the world.”
— Esenam, Founder
Our Story
“Ekin” means “root” in Ewe, a language from my home country, Togo.
To me, roots represent where we come from — our land, our heritage, our identity.
As an esthetician, mother, and proud African woman, I wanted to create a brand that honors these roots through natural skincare.
That’s how Ekin Cosmetics was born: a return to ancestral beauty wisdom, African oils, and the power of pure simplicity.

Our Values
Simplicity
| We believe in doing more with less. Fewer ingredients, better results. |
Rooted in Africa
| Everything we do is inspired by African land, plants, and culture. |
Family and care
| We care deeply for our people and planet. Clean, safe, respectful skincare. |
Our Commitment: Against Skin Bleaching
At Ekin, we believe skin is not a color to change, it’s a story to embrace.
Our commitment is to natural, healthy skin, not perfection, not whitening.
Millions of women across Africa face pressure to lighten their skin. This is a form of violence, and we say no.
We want to educate, heal, and protect our communities. That’s why I also share free content on YouTube to raise awareness about skin bleaching and offer real alternatives.
