akin: skin + hair butter
akin: skin + hair butter
humbly sharing mama earth with insects is a skill i’m still learning, and maybe you too. in the meantime, akin (AH-KEEN) was created to allow for enough protective space to coexist. akin, just as the meaning of its name in yoruba, it guards, and protects, but it also soothes irritations and hydrates, stimulates and strengthens.
this is a plant-based product, so your skin will absorb it over time. the scent is the forcefield keeping the insects at a respectful distance. so, as the essential oils partnering in akin feed into your pores, the protective barrier is no longer as strong. so reapply as needed. akin is your to-go still even after a bite. akin will lighten that feeling of discomfort, and ease you back into enjoying your time with nature!
akin is a mighty combo of love, intention, shea butter (vitellaria paradoxa), moringa oil (moringa oleifera), mango butter (mangifera indica), calendula oil (calendula officinalis), eucalyptus essential oil (eucalyptus citriodora), lemongrass essential oil (cymbopogon), geranium essential oil (pelargonium graveolens), rosemary essential oil (rosmarinus officinalis l.).
akin is supercharged with antioxidants, antiseptic, regenerative, cleansing, and anti-inflammatory goodness, vitamin a, b, and c.
recommended richuals: as your skin will absorb akin overtime, reapply as needed. remember, a lil’ goes a long way! so go ahead, massage akin in gently, then affirm not only your cells (yes, hype your cells up!), but also the healing and protective powers in akin. here’s an example: “mosquitoes ain’t winning today, because of aaaall these powerful ingredients (you can even name ‘em) working overtime to safeguard my skin!”
