Liku by Squeezie

Posted on by Ann Mumbi

The need to make her own skincare products occurred when all the products on the market were hurting her husband, who has very sensitive, dry skin. After the birth of her son, Liz Akuku Founder and Creator of liku knew it was time to put my passion for natural ingredients to test and create a product for her family that would give their skin the nourishment it needed.

A formula that would add balance or natural moisture back to her family, to have a balance, healthy glowing kin.

Liz Akuku made it a point to ensure that every ingredient used would be easy to read on the package. That is why she uses only organic and natural ingredients such as cocoa butter, shea butter, avocado oil, mango butter, coconut oil and essential oils.

The high quality of oils and butters used in Liku products prevents the need of fillers and preservatives.

“I believe in not putting anything on my body that I wouldn’t put in my mouth. Feed my skin with vitamins and nutrients to promote a healthy status and balance inside and out” said Liz

Makeup is my fresh foray into the beauty industry as a makeup artist in East Africa. There has never been a better time in the history of Africa where its perception of beauty needs to be redefined. We have taken on Western beliefs of beauty and quite frankly ignored our own.

 

As a Kenyan, and through my work, I’ve has seen and experienced it all. From the glittery, cat-walking superstars to the weak, slum-living poor. And more recently having the chilling experience of being embroiled in fighting and strife, with inter-tribal politics reigning amid a peace-loving people. There was death. There was morbidity. There was fear.

[taq_review]

For the first time in Kenya’s history, there was a threat of war.

In retrospect, my interest in makeup started as a test of what I was learning as a business student in school. But now, I have the honor of working with people whose experiences of natural beauty are either undermined or even ignored.

I have a hope that someday I can give others the freedom to express who they truly are, irregardless of whether they are of a certain tribe or not. A hope that someday I can help one more person achieve their dreams of becoming more than they ever were.

A hope of instilling within African organizations a passion for excellence. A passion that supersedes all other material and temporary passions that Africans are known and even lauded for.

That is what I stand for.

Kangai Mwiti is Kenya’s top beauty YouTuber and she uses models to illustrate her makeup artist techniques. Her ultimate goal is to create a media company that uses video to tell stories by and for Africans. One of her most popular videos focuses on makeup for the Eid al-Adha holiday.

4 Benefits of Organic Skin-Care and Why Natural is Better

Posted on by Fashion Tribe Influencer

Organic products have recently become a trend in Kenya with many brands rushing
to adapt to the growing demand. Before finding out why, let’s define the term
‘organic’.

Organic products are made of 95 percent or more of plant ingredients that are grown without pesticides, bioengineered genes, or petroleum-based fertilizers, which could be toxic to the environment. Knowing this, it may already be obvious as to why so many people have made the switch.

Skin care natural products available here at Mama earth products 

1. Natural products don’t damage your skin
Non-organic skin care products tend to contain synthetic, man-made chemicals such as sodium laurel, mineral oils, laureth sulphate, and toxins that could be residues of pesticides. Some of the ingredients like mineral oil, petroleum and parabens can cause skin irritation, hormone imbalance, organ toxicity, and even cancer.

These chemicals may damage and weaken your skin as your body tries to cope with these foreign substances. Because your skin is alive and absorbs whatever you put on it, it makes sense to invest in chemical-free, non-toxic ingredients.

2. Everything is naturally-scented
Do you remember the last time you smelled a ripe orange or a freshly-bloomed rose? It felt like a little piece of heaven, right? Nothing is as fresh as natural ingredients. Natural products smell amazing and some like lavender and jasmine,even have a calming effect.

3. Your skin will be softer
Natural ingredients such as coconut oil, honey, aloe Vera, and shea butter are known to soothe, nourish, and moisturize skin. This is in comparison to drugstore brands that add drying agents to moisturizers and conditioners in order to preserve them longer. What this means is that your odds of finding moisturizing products are higher when they come straight from nature.

4. Natural products are packed with active ingredients
Most organic products contain anti-oxidants and up to 95 per cent of an organic skin care product’s contents are active ingredients. This is important because anti- oxidants are the epitome of skin-care as they are majorly responsible in preventing wrinkles and aging.

5. Organic products are earth-friendly
Organic products don’t leave a harmful footprint on the planet, particularly on the soil, water and air because they don’t use pesticides or additives.
With all this in mind, natural products are definitely the better alternative. You can find a wide variety of Kenyan-made, locally sourced ones on a few online shops including Mama Earth Products .

Turkish Cosmetic Market

Posted on by Ann Mumbi

Global cosmetics market size is estimated to be 300 Billion Euros whereas Turkey cosmetics market size is around 5.5 Billion Euros. Researches state that even during the periods of economic crisis, the demand for cosmetics products do not decrease in fact it continues to increase despite the crisis.

This situation is a valuable indicator to demonstrate the growth potential of the market. Turkey creates a bridge between European companies that have powerful market shares, Asia and Pacific companies that have strong growth rate and Middle East countries that have a high demand for cosmetics and personal care products.

Looking at the developments in the cosmetics sector, especially in the last 10 years Turkish cosmetics market is growing rapidly by nearly %10 annually. Also, Turkish companies continue to extend their product ranges and varieties as well as increase their investments nationally and internationally. There are many factors that can be attributed to the growth of Turkish cosmetics market, primarily due to Turkey becoming a center of attraction for global cosmetics market with huge investments coming in.

One reason is that Turkey being the youngest and 2nd largest population of Europe with 29 age average and 80 million respectively resulting in rapid increase of cosmetics consumption alongside with increased demand for organic and herbal products and increasing number of tourists who come to Istanbul and Mediterranean cities for shopping attracts cosmetics companies worldwide to enter the Turkish market.
