Impact on the Environment

• 3% of our gross sales are donated to environmental conservation in Zanzibar.
• Our Ingredients support biodiversity, are often indigenous and wild-grown, removing fertilizers, pesticides and irrigation.
• Seaweed is key to decarbonising the economy and fighting climate change.
• Our ingredients are locally sourced and have an exceptionally low carbon-footprint
• We avoid toxic chemicals and crops that are bad for the environment, such as palm oil and monoculture. 

Impact on our People

• Mwani Zanzibar is operated and ran by the very people it aims to impact- our Mwani mamas.
• We go beyond Fairtrade. Our farmers have become artisans.
• Our ingredients are sourced from a majority female suppliers.
• Because our ingredients are indigenous and wild-grown, we work with local communities.

Impact of our Packaging

• Our glass bottles are made of 100% post-consumer and recycled glass bottles – the first beauty company in the world to do so.
• Our outer packaging is made of 80% post-consumer and recycled outer packaging.
• Our logo is debossed in the glass, eliminating the need for silk screen printing or plastic labelling.
• Our bottles are coloured with a non-toxic chalk pigment to avoid penetration of UVA and UVB rays.
• We worked extensively with our glass supplier to thin our glass bottles, reducing carbon footprint.

MW Macroalgae Extract™ is a scientifically formulated concentrate unique to Mwani Zanzibar. Every product created has undergone  rigorous clinical testing.

Our skincare is produced through intensive eco-friendly processes rarely found in the skincare industry. The methods of production that are best for skin often take more time and greater effort. Like the cold-press method we use for soaps. Did you know that each soap must cure for nine weeks before it is at its best?

We create extracts and concentrates from precise blends of indigenous African superfoods and unrefined oils. These nutrient-rich ingredients are all wild harvested locally . The short lead time between delivery and production means it is very common that our oils are only days old.
