New Love: nyakio Maracuja & Yangu Soothing Oil

November 13, 2017

I have been obsessed with this brand since I met Nyakio at an event.  She is amazing. Her passion is inspiring. Her products are incredible. 

Welcome to the family Maracuja and Yangu Soothing Oil – perfect for combating the upcoming dry winter weather. 

This conditioning oil soothes and restores skin while calming sensitive areas. Derived from Passion Fruit in Rwanda, the source of Maracuja Oil, and the Cape Chestnut tree in South Africa, the source of Yangu nuts, Maracuja & Yangu Oil blend together with their high content of essential fatty acids to nourish and soothe, while leaving skin radiant.

In addition to giving skin a dewy glow, the Yangu Oil instantly calms irritation and redness, making it ideal for use after tweezing and facial waxing.

Cold-pressed to preserve their nutrients, the oil is formulated without parabens, sulfates, phthalates, mineral oil, petrolatum, formaldehyde and butylene glycol. Founder Nyakio Grieco was drawn to Maracuja & Yangu Oil and compelled to incorporate it into the product upon hearing about the ingredients from women of sub-Saharan Africa. For generations, they have extracted these oils from their plants and massaged onto skin, treating the results of daily stress on the skin.

nyakio Maracuja & Yangu Soothing Oil is available at Ulta and Ulta.com for $42.
