Mwani Zanzibar began our journey researching indigenous seaweed varieties, resulting in the identification of several species with notable health benefits—packed with phytochemicals, rich in amino acids, and saturated with vitamins and minerals. To enable commercial use, we registered these varieties on the international ingredient database (INCI), and patented their extraction. We are the first and only company to bring these varieties to market. Together with other African botanicals and unrefined oils, we craft our skincare collection for our global customers.
