About AHOTƆ — The Shea Collection
AHOTƆ (pronounced Ah-ho-toh), meaning peace, comfort, and ease in Twi, celebrates Ghanaian heritage, traditional skincare, and intentional self-care. Rooted in the art of rest and renewal, each blend is made with rich, unrefined shea butter produced by the women of Sabruka Shea Village in Northern Ghana. Lightly scented and thoughtfully crafted, AHOTƆ brings a little everyday luxury to your skincare routine while honoring the women and traditions behind every jar.
Sankofa (Go Back and Get It) is an Akan concept that reminds us of the importance of returning to our roots, learning from the past, and carrying forward what is valuable.
Inspired by this beautiful philosophy, Sankofa brings together the earthy warmth of sandalwood and the gentle sweetness of vanilla to create a rich, grounding, and timeless fragrance.
Made with unrefined Ghanaian shea butter, this luxurious body butter helps moisturize and soften the skin.
Sankofa is more than a fragrance. It is a quiet reminder to honor where we come from while making space to care for ourselves today.
Our coconut shell containers are handcrafted in Ghana by our artisan partner, Akooshi, giving discarded coconut shells a beautiful new purpose. Long after you've enjoyed your shea butter, the container can continue to be used, making it a meaningful part of our commitment to sustainability.
