Our Story

There are so many products out there that promise to relieve dry skin—some deliver, but many just don’t. As women, and especially as women of color like me, we often deal with dry, ashy, and uncomfortable skin that leaves us feeling less than our best.

After years of developing products at large companies—where I often didn’t see myself reflected—I felt called to create something truly special. Inspired by my own self-care rituals, cherished heritage ingredients, and exciting new discoveries, I wanted to share the habits that have helped me feel comfortable, relaxed, and deeply cared for.

At oil/&/ore RESTORE, African botanical oils and essential minerals are the soul of what we do. They’re the secret to nourishing, joyful skin that feels soft, healthy, and loved. My hope is that using our products makes you feel cared for, radiant, and at home in your skin—because you deserve nothing less.
