It started with one child who couldn’t sleep for scratching.
Uwa began in a family kitchen, looking for something that would calm dry, reactive skin without steroids or a list of ingredients nobody could pronounce. Years of testing later, the Soothing Body Butter is still made the same way: by hand, in small batches, with nothing that isn’t doing a job.
Made by one person
Every batch is weighed, heated, whipped and poured by our founder. A batch is 15 to 40 tubs. When it’s gone, it’s gone for a week.
Nothing to hide
Full ingredient lists on every product page, in plain order of quantity. Mango, shea, colloidal oatmeal, calendula. No fillers, no mineral oil, no parabens.
Tested on real skin
Every formula is used by our own family and a small group of customers before a batch goes on sale.
A promise, not a claim
We don’t promise miracles. We promise honest products, and real help if one doesn’t suit you.
Made by Dr Chinazo Onwu.

Every batch is still weighed, whipped and poured by her.
