Polishing & Renewing Made with Vanilla Extract Certified B Corporation Cruelty Free Ethically Traded Ingredients Sustainably Produced No Animal Testing A luxurious nutrient-rich moisture treatment infuses skin with hydrating coconut oil. Papaya extract, rich in papain, renews dull dry skin revealing brighter, younger looking hands. Humble Beginnings: Nubian Heritage is the brainchild of two New York street vendors. In 1992, fresh out of college and without jobs, Rich and Nyema embarked on a mission to produce luxurious natural products from traditional African recipes with fair trade ingredients. Today Nubian Heritage offers culturally authentic natural products inspired by global ancient healing philosophies. Although Nubian Heritage products are no longer made in bath tubs, little else has changed; the company still makes its own products, still uses fair trade ingredients and still invests in community commerce. Heritage: Since ancient times, the coconut tree has been a vital source of nourishment for millions of tropical communities in South America, Asia, the Caribbean and Africa. Coconut oil is a valued natural cleanser and moisturizer. Papaya has long been revered for its skin rejuvenating properties. Highlighting the ingredients' renewing properties, our package symbolizes the sun and is typical of prints and textiles from the Caribbean which feature elaborate geometric designs made in a reverse applique process.
