Nubian Heritage Coconut & Papaya Bar Soap

Anti-aging, brightening & firming. Ethically traded ingredients. Sustainably produced. No animal testing. Cruelty free. Certified organic ingredients. Heritage: Since ancient times the coconut tree as been a vital source of food and nourishment for millions of tropical communities in South America, Asia, the Caribbean and Africa. Papaya, which contains papain, a naturally occurring enzyme, has been used in tropical medicine to treat skin irritations. The nourishing coconut oil soap made with rich tropical ingredients high in vitamins, minerals and fatty acids aids in collagen production while helping to improve skin tone. Vanilla beans gently buff skin as papaya's gentle enzymatic action exfoliates and helps renew. Shea butter and coconut oil rehydrated skin helping improve suppleness and protect against moisture loss. Humble Beginnings: Nubian Heritage is the brainchild for two New York street vendors. In 1992, fresh out of college and without jobs, Rich and Nyema embarked on a mission to produce luxurious natural products from traditional African recipes with organic and fair trade ingredients. Today Nubian Heritage offers hundreds of culturally authentic natural products inspired by global ancient healing philosophies. Although Nubian Heritage products are no longer made in bath tubs, little else has changed; the company still makes its products itself, still uses fair trade and organic ingredients and still invests in community commerce. Made in the USA.
