The Story Behind Our Shea Butter Products: Empowering Communities and Nurturing Healthy Skin

by Fescoms Editorial, 19 Jun 2024

At Fescoms Natural, our passion extends beyond providing high-quality skincare products. We believe in using business as a force for good, creating a meaningful community impact, and empowering families in the communities we serve. In this article, we delve into the origin and mission of our business, our sourcing practices from Ghana, and the transformative impact we aim to create through our  products. Join us on a journey that combines skincare with social responsibility and sustainability. 

Our Mission and Inspiration:  

Fescoms Natural is a small family-owned business based in Edmonton, Alberta. Founded by Godfred and Comfort Kugbey, our mission is twofold: to supply customers with unrefined shea butter and other indigenous African products, and to create a positive and sustainable future for the communities that produce these raw materials. 

Sourcing Shea Butter from Ghana:  

Shea butter, a prized natural ingredient, is at the heart of our products. We source our shea butter directly from Ghana, a country renowned for its abundant shea trees and the generations of knowledge held by local communities. By working closely with these communities, we ensure that our shea butter is of the highest quality and sustainably harvested. 

Empowering Families and Communities:  

Through our business, we have the privilege of positively impacting the lives of the families and communities involved in shea butter production. The shea nuts are hand-picked in the northern part of Ghana, and our partnership helps create economic opportunities and empowerment for these hardworking individuals. By supporting Fescoms Natural, you are contributing to overcoming poverty and creating a better, more sustainable future for these communities. 

Transforming Lives:  

The impact of our business goes beyond the economic sphere. By focusing on empowerment, we strive to make a difference in the lives of women in particular. We recognize the immense value and potential they hold, and it is our goal to provide them with opportunities for growth, self-reliance, and independence. Through our products, we aim to foster skin integrity while also empowering women to pursue their dreams and aspirations. 

Social and Environmental Responsibility:  

At Fescoms Natural, we firmly believe that business values should encompass social and environmental responsibility. We are committed to sourcing our raw materials in a safe, responsible, and sustainable manner. This means working with suppliers who uphold fair labor practices and treating our workers with dignity and respect. Furthermore, we prioritize environmentally friendly management practices, ensuring that our sourcing and production processes consider the long-term impact on both the local ecosystem and the communities we serve. 

Choosing Fescoms Natural means more than simply investing in quality skincare products. It means supporting a business that is committed to social impact, community empowerment, and sustainability. By sourcing our shea butter from Ghana and working directly with the families and communities involved, we aim to create a positive change in their lives. Together, we can nurture healthy skin, empower women, and build a better future.
