YANGA NATURAL is a British-born West African skincare brand with a unique story. The name YANGA originates from Sierra Leone and can be loosely interpreted as ‘the time one takes to beautify oneself’. The YANGA NATURAL brand has come a long way from nature to nurturing oneself.


We are inspired by the community of Ghana-Accra-Kumasi, where we have decided to interact with the humans and nature of these areas to create raw materials that are brought into the UK to formulate our own signature value-added products. The combination of tradition and innovation is used to extract, create, and utilize the benefits of quality botanical ingredients.


Shea Butter, Coconut, and Baobab Oils feature a lot in our products and they have always been at the heart of YANGA NATURAL’s formulations. All of these ingredients are rich in vitamins and antioxidants which are very good for your skin and overall well-being. Most of our products are handcrafted in small batches, with you in mind.


Our passion to create and experience has given us the chance to become a skincare brand that produces a long-lasting sense of well-being. The unique way in which we jointly work with people and nature preserves our passion to design, create, and formulate. This, in no small measure, contributes to our surroundings of energy, peace, and tranquillity which we want to pass unto you, our fans.


We warmly invite you to explore our e-commerce site and not only understand our vision but to enjoy, appreciate, and contribute to our journey of natural wellness and beauty. We believe that human behaviour can be moulded by nature, so we want Nature to Nurture you. 


Reg Baba-Cole

Founder.

Most of our products are handcrafted in small batches and we ensure that no product leaves our Essex studio unless it is of the highest quality. Every ingredient used and every product manufactured is done with you in mind and for a purpose- to contribute to your wellbeing.


Our products are vegan friendly and crafted to sustain the health and wellbeing of all ethnicities, races, and creeds. *Each product has passed the Microbial Challenge test and Preservative Efficacy Tests, completed under the regulation Cosmetic Product Safety Report. These assessments are required under EU Cosmetic Regulation to ensure that no bacteria, fungus, or any other microorganism are present or have the capacity to survive within the soaps that we manufacture and sell.


We believe in sourcing the best ideas no matter where they come from and this is why you, as our fans are always welcome to suggest new ideas- your feedback is invaluable to us and very important to our growth and business sustainability.

OUR PHILOSOPHY


The secret to our look is a desire to keep a simple, yet interesting design. The combination of the colours white, green, and black is for a reason. Black is considered to be the colour of perfection, White means safety, purity, and cleanliness while Green, the colour of life, renewal, nature, and energy is associated with growth, harmony, freshness, safety, and the environment. 


Yanga Natural expresses itself through energy and this design is meant to relay a message of our surroundings and purpose.
