About Ekó Botanicals

A deep love and connection with nature started in childhood, on my morning walks to school in Lagos, I enjoyed picking colourful blooms from the inviting morning glory and hibiscus bushes. I always felt totally immersed and captivated by the riveting beauty, colour, scent and simplicity of these flowers. For most of my adult life, I struggled to find natural skincare that suited my maturing and darker skin tone, nothing that successfully delivered the level of purity, nourishment, smoothing and rejuvenation that I wanted. I worked in financial markets for over a decade before reconnecting with my passion for botanicals setting up a beautiful floristry business in Lagos. Drawing inspiration and love from my great grandfather who was a botanist at the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew over 100 years ago, I decided to look to the healing power of nature and plants for solutions. I completed a Diploma in Organic and Natural Skincare Formulation. Armed with my knowledge and passion for all things botanical, I set about creating my own high performing skincare formulas. I work only with the highest quality of plant oils and extracts that contain the most dense potency of nutrients possible. I then combine these with carefully selected plant actives for optimal efficacy to address the needs of maturing skin without using synthetic ingredients. I have personally created each formula from scratch over many months. Carefully curating and layering each recipe with botanical ingredients.Read their story
