Ancient Cosmetics: Before there were sponges and bath puffs there was the plant loofah. Naturally growing in the wild and highly effective in cleaning.
Benefits: Healthy skin requires good blood circulation. Our Natural Plant Loofah is composed of slightly rough plant fibres that exfoliate skin, whilst also stimulating your skin's blood circulation. In addition to this, it is also beneficial for you to eliminate dead skin cells that will automatically give you smoother glowing skin.
To Use: They have a rough texture when dry, but become soft and supple in warm water, making them ideal for a lovely exfoliating scrub in the shower or bathtub. We suggest you apply a few drops of one of our body oil directly onto the skin. Then ensure your Loofah is dampened with warm water. Following this make circular movements with the loofah in order to exfoliate your skin as needed. Foaming up the Loofah with our natural plant foaming agents found in our Shea or Activated Charcoal Body Soaps or African Black Soaps is also an effective way to exfoliate and cleanse.

Natural butters and oils, such as shea butter, cocoa butter and grapeseed oil have been used in skincare for centuries. Generation after generation have touted them for various moisturising, protective, and anti-ageing qualities. With the growth of the modern cosmetic and wellness industries, these deceptively simple substances have often been overlooked, but they’ve had a resurgence in the public eye over the last decade,as people strive to find additive-free, affordable, and effective products.
Anasa Skin aims to bring these ancient cosmetics back to the forefront of our daily skincare routines. Using sustainably sourced ingredients from West, East and Southern Africa, and with a focus on Bath & Body - this authentically African brand creates products that promote glowing, supple and healthy skin. For The Body.
Handcrafted & Curated in Johannesburg, South Africa. A Product of Africa.
Charlene
Founder of Anasa
Anasa was created from a passion I have for natural, unrefined products. A few years ago, I started being more selective of what I was using on my skin and began researching ideal skincare ingredients that I could trace back to nature. Ones that were natural, plant-based and pure.
In my discovery, a lot of the material that I read referenced back to early centuries - to the days of Cleopatra. Before factories, before parabens, before artificial fragrances. A recurring theme of core substances were mentioned as the keys to healthy skin most of which are indigenous to the African continent. West Africa for example, is globally known for its production of shea butter.
I began sourcing these raw, unrefined ingredients and started making mixes at home for myself to use with various butters and oils. I then gifted these to family and friends who also loved the change they saw in their skin. The idea then evolved to this company - Anasa Skin, that seeks to make these natural, plant-based gems available to a wider audience for the benefit of their skin.
'Anasa’ in Swahili means luxury. In Kenya where my sister lives - it’s a term used to describe the good life. It means pleasure, enjoyment, sensuality. And that’s how I feel when I use these products on my skin – it makes me feel like I’m living the Anasa life.
