Camwood powder is derived from the heartwood of the Camwood tree, finely ground into a soft, fibrous powder. Known for its gentle exfoliating properties, it is ideal for sensitive skin. Traditionally used across West Africa, Camwood has long been valued for its antiseptic and healing qualities. It is commonly applied to treat a wide range of skin concerns, including acne, eczema, blemishes, blackheads, sunburns, and even wrinkles.

Camwood also plays a key role in cultural skincare rituals, often used in luxurious spa treatments for newborns and brides-to-be. Its naturally cleansing, soothing, and rejuvenating properties make it a powerful ingredient in many skincare formulas, including several of our most loved products.
