BEAUTY FOR THE SENSES
Kanobe was founded on the idea that beauty rituals should be more than skin deep.
Guided by the ancient art of aromatherapy, Kanobe creates organic skincare for all seasons of life.
The collection is formulated by Kanobe's founder, Rezzi, and made in small batches in Brussels and Spa. Every ingredient is chosen with intention, using the finest extracts in natural perfumery: textures and scents to uplift, restore, cleanse, and soothe.
African Flora, Woven In Modern Ritual
Kanobe combines African beauty staples of rich heritage—like baobab, argan, shea, rose and frankincense—with high performing botanicals from around the world and the latest innovations in natural skincare.
These ingredients are rarely single-purpose, and are woven into daily rituals of skin and hair care, food, healing and even spirituality. We take a similar approach, crafting natural skincare that nourishes all of the senses.
A DIFFERENT APPROACH TO BEAUTY
Kanobe is named in honour of my Isoko grandmother, Akanobe — a name that speaks of the realm beyond this physical world.
Founded in the melting pot of Brussels, Kanobe is continuously inspired by craft, the meeting of cultures, and the rejuvenating power of nature.
Before delving into the discipline of aromatherapy, I had worked as a lawyer for many years and still do. I have always been moved by scent, and I began blending remedies by hand during the pandemic — a passion that quickly became Kanobe.
MADE FOR SKIN & THE SENSES
Bodycare is intimate, and that is why I formulate each Kanobe product to target both a specific mood through scent or texture, as well as a skin concern.
Aromatherapy is uniquely able to nourish both our skin and our spirits, and I hope that these products help those looking for more balance and mindfulness in their daily routines.
BLENDING HERITAGE WITH BEAUTY
Kanobe is deeply inspired by the African continent’s artisans and diverse landscapes — stories we tell through our powerful ingredients.
And as a Nigerian-Swede raised in Lagos, Kanobe's environmental and social impact are considered in every aspect of the business.
I'm infinitely inspired by the three generations of entrepreneurial women in my family, from my great grandmother to my own mother, Rita — each challenging the status quo in their own way and seeking to create a positive impact.
IN TUNE WITH NATURE
Every part of Kanobe has our impact in mind — from the artisans we source from, to our formulas and packaging.
We're proud to have created a 100% biodegradable collection that minimises our use of plastics and single-use materials.
We source ingredients from suppliers making a difference in their local communities — skilled artisans and local producers dedicated to preserving cultural practices and the natural ecosystems they work in.
In Brussels, these rich ingredients are blended by hand, using gentle methods that preserve the integrity of the organic produce.
We use organic, non-GMO ingredients grown without harmful pesticides. When preservatives are used, they are always plant-derived and COSMOS approved.
Fragrances are all natural, stemming from fresh ingredients, essential oils and the finest extracts distilled from absolutes of plants, seeds and flowers.
Kanobe is designed to be both gentle on the planet and our skin.
All our ingredients are fully biodegradable and no single-use items are involved in the production process.
Kanobe bodycare is packaged in re-usable and recyclable glass bottles and jars, minimising the use of plastic.
Our sustainable packaging includes beautiful, FSC® certified beechwood accessories that are fully detachable for easy sorting and recycling. Orders are also always shipped in FSC® certified boxes and biodegradable, protective wood wool.
