"Growing up as a WOC, without many healthy and effective products available for my hair and skin type, led me to a journey of discovery and creation. Becoming a mother reaffirmed my desire to take my self-care and wellness into my own hands. Bushnut Beauty inspires you to reclaim your power, one beauty ritual at a time and reveal your most radiant glow."
- Amaka Stephanie Obiesie-Solomon, Founder

Bushnut. The Story Behind Our Name.
bush·nut
(noun)
someone who has a deep and profound love for nature; a spiritually awakened woman
“nuts about the bush”
Bushnut is the beloved nut oils and butters we use to craft our high-vibrational skincare.
Our name, Bushnut, was inspired by the raw botanical oils and butters we chose for our formulations, naturally derived and extracted from various nuts found in the indigenous forests of the world.
Shea butter from shea nuts.
Ucuuba butter from ucuuba nuts.
Marula oil from the nut of the fruit from the marula tree.
Our natural and organic ingredients are sourced from regions located deep in forests and woodlands, referred to in these regions as the “bush”. Hence, our name—Bushnut.
Bushnut is the indigenous communities that support and love these natural skin food ingredients.
Most of the nuts from which our beloved oils are obtained are also eaten in these communities. Ingredients that are literally good enough to eat. Our offerings honor the indigenous communities who’ve kept these bush trees for generations so that we can know the magical wonders of their fruit.
Honoring a culture means ensuring a healthy working environment for the people producing the ingredients. We believe in a world where beauty can be eco-conscious and sustainable, and that those who labor should be supported by what they do.
Bushnut is the loving, wild, wise women, everywhere.
At Bushnut, supporting women in awakening their innate power and authentic expression through deep self-care is a driving force. We are on a quest to create a vital connection between the ancestral knowledge and mystical intelligence of the indigenous women who wild-harvest the raw materials we use, the woman-owned vegan apothecary that crafts our formulas, and the deep wisdom and spiritual connection of all women, everywhere.
Empowering women through spiritual beauty is at the core of what we do. We celebrate the wise women who weave magic and love back into the Earth, who have sacrificed their time and energy to preserve, harvest, and care for these sacred plants for centuries, by offering our potent, custom formulations that carry the spirit of this sacred legacy.
To prove our commitment to gender equality and sustainable initiatives, we partner with suppliers around the world who take sustainability and ethical sourcing as seriously as we do and source ingredients from organizations that work with independent women cooperatives in indigenous communities.
Empowerment through self-care goes beyond the surface level. It’s ingrained in our entire value chain and business processes.
