Key Ingredients
Shea Butter (Ethically Sourced): A revered ingredient in West Africa, known for its intense moisturising properties. Sourced from trusted cooperatives in Ghana that empower women-led communities.
- Jojoba Oil: Mimics the skin's natural sebum, providing balanced hydration and nourishment without heaviness.
- Mango Butter: Rich in vitamins A and E, it helps to soften, smooth, and protect the skin.
- Avocado Oil: Deeply moisturises and helps restore the skin's natural barrier.
- Coconut Oil: Softens skin and provides a smooth, luxurious feel.
- Lavender Essential Oil: Calms the skin and offers a naturally soothing aroma.
- Geranium Oil: Balances and revitalises the skin for a healthy, radiant feel.
How to Use:
Warm a small amount between your palms and massage onto clean, damp skin. Suitable for face, body, and hair. If you have oily or acne-prone skin, we recommend a quick patch test before using on your face. A little goes a long way.
Storage Instructions
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight for optimal freshness. In hot climates, the butter may soften — simply cool it to solidify and its benefits remain unchanged. Slight batch variations due to natural shea butter are normal and don't affect quality.
The Search for Something Better
A Personal Journey Begins
Lunask's story is woven from the fabric of a West African upbringing — Ghanaian and Sierra Leonean — where nature and healing were inseparable. Our founder, Francella, was raised with a deep respect for traditional self-care, guided by a father who came from a long line of farmers. In their home, the earth provided remedies for everything. This legacy of using inherently rich, effective and culturally significant ingredients is the heartbeat of Lunask. It is more than skincare. It is a continuation of a family tradition.
A Need No Shelf Could Meet
A Turning Point
For years, Francella navigated the endless trial-and-error of store-bought products to manage her skin. But in 2013, during her first pregnancy, the search became urgent. As her skin reacted to the changes of pregnancy, she realised she needed something she could use with absolute confidence — on her own body and her family's skin. It had to be 100% natural, deeply nourishing, and completely clean. A standard she couldn't find on any shelf.
The Home-Grown Formula
A Legacy of Healing
Turning back to her roots, Francella returned to a staple of West African life: shea butter. Holding profound cultural and generational significance, shea is used across West Africa in everything from everyday healing to cooking and skincare. She began experimenting in her kitchen, meticulously blending raw shea with plant and essential oils. After tireless refinement, she developed a multi-use formulation that truly worked — a nourishing butter that protected without irritation, and quickly became a daily essential for her entire family.
The Quiet Phenomenon
Heritage to Elegance
Over the next ten years, the home-grown formula became a quiet phenomenon, whispered about by friends and family who swore by its unique texture and scent.
The true turning point came unexpectedly — in a swimming pool changing room. A stranger, noticing the scent and feel as Francella moisturised her children after their swim, immediately asked about the product and placed an order on the spot.
Another particularly moving moment came from a customer who was stunned that raw shea butter — a familiar comfort from back home — could be transformed into a product so refined, elegant and export-worthy. That organic love and demand made it clear: Lunask was ready to move from cherished family secret to shared luxury.
