Our Story

It started with 2 African girls and a dream...


Who is BODA?

The Birth

BODA, founded in 2019, provides restoring, premium handmade products using some native Ghanaian ingredients such as Shea oil and Black soap.

Our Slogan

Our slogan ‘Get your BODA glow’ promotes our beliefs – for people to use less harsh chemicals on their body and opt for healthier alternatives such as BODA that help you achieve the ‘BODA glow’.

Our Hubs

BODA has two hubs. One based in the UK for our European/worldwide customers and the other in Ghana for our African and Asian customers.




Our Founders


Jhannai and Melika, a Caribbean and a Ghanaian met in 2016 in the UK for their undergraduate degrees at the University of Leicester. As two young black women conquering the struggles of university – they became great friends.

Unintentionally, Melika shared her love for Ghanaian black soap and shea butter creams which Jhannai, a Caribbean, fell in love with.

From there, Jhannai believed it wasn’t enough for only Ghanaians to know about the ingredients Ghana has been blessed with and that the world deserved to experience its goodness.

And this birthed BODA.

Authentically Ghanaian


Organic African Ingredients

We are committed to choosing only the BEST, organic ingredients for the skin and hair for our customers but also for the planet. Our goal is to promote the use of African herbs, oils and plants in our everyday lives.

Investing in a better Ghana


Our ingredients are ethically sourced and extracted by our Boda women who are based in a village Chana in the Northern region of Ghana. We guarantee to buy every harvest and pay our BODA women a fair rate so they can focus on producing the best Shea possible.This has helped us create employment for over 50 Ghanaians across our entire supply chain. Considering the unemployment rate in Ghana, this is something we are proud of and our team is constantly growing.

Inclusive Beauty
