About Leila

I'm Leila — a Somali woman raised in Kenya, living in London. I'm a registered social worker with 25 years supporting children and families, a practice educator, a mother, a forager, a gardener, and someone who spent decades at war with her own skin.

After years of acne, long-term antibiotics that damaged my gut and disrupted my hormones, and watching my son's eczema worsen on steroids, I stopped looking for answers in a pharmacy. I went back to nature — to the butters, herbs, and whole ingredients that African women have used for generations to care for their families' skin.

Upendi means love in Swahili. Every jar is made with it.

Yes, this butter is formulated to be gentle and nourishing, making it suitable for most skin types, including dry, normal, and even sensitive skin. However, it's always a good idea to do a patch test first if you wish.

Store the butter in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. This will help preserve its texture and effectiveness. If the temperature is particularly warm, you might notice it softens more but this is natural and does not alter the butter’s effectiveness.

You can use this butter on both your face and body. If you have oily or acne-prone skin, you might want to use it more sparingly on your face.

For best results, apply the butter daily, or as needed, especially after showering or whenever your skin feels dry.

The butter contains natural oils and butters, which can be allergenic for some individuals. Be sure to check the ingredient list for any specific allergens you might be sensitive to.

When stored properly, the butter can last up to 12 months away from direct sunlight.

Yes, this product is cruelty-free and made with vegan ingredients, ensuring no animal testing or animal-derived ingredients are used.

To maximize absorption, warm a small amount of butter between your palms before applying it to your skin. This helps it melt and spread more easily. Massage it into your skin until fully absorbed.
