“My children helped me to find my purpose and passion, and now I am also making a profit.”
Neo Mkwebane Chatyoka is the founder of Uhuru Botanicals, a natural and organic skincare brand formed in 2017. It was inspired by her search for soothing skincare products for her baby daughter Lulu who had eczema. Unable to find anything suitable, she began making her own skincare products for her family using the purest Shea Butter as the base ingredient, and combining it with natural botanical oils from Africa. Today, Uhuru Botanicals is a fast growing business that is now trading in both the United Kingdom and South Africa, employing four people.
