Our story
At Ouwél, nature is our greatest inspiration and guide. As a nature lover, I am deeply convinced that nature holds the solutions to humanity’s ailments. This belief led me to create the brand, with the conviction that we can return to our roots by using the ancestral methods of our forebears. Like them, we believe that nature provides everything we need, and that respecting its rhythm is the key to creating truly authentic and beneficial products.

The Marvel of Shea Butter
Our 100% natural shea butter comes from two Peul villages in Eastern Senegal: Salémata and Kékérési. This remarkable product is made from shea nuts harvested from the forests of Eastern Senegal and Guinea Conakry. The women in these villages prepare the shea butter using authentic and ancestral methods, ensuring high hygiene standards while honoring their rich traditions. Each batch of shea butter is crafted at a precise time of year, just after the nuts are collected, guaranteeing superior quality.
A Natural Treasure for Soothing and Repairing
Touloucouna oil, extracted from the nuts of the Carapa Procera tree, also known as Crabwood oil, is a vegetable oil with remarkable properties. Used for centuries in traditional African medicine, this oil is known for its soothing and restorative virtues, making it a valuable ally for the skin, hair, and even for relieving certain types of pain.
African Crafts
African craftsmanship is a vibrant and dynamic aspect of the continent's cultural heritage, showcasing a rich tapestry of traditions, skills, and creativity. Among the many nations that contribute to this diverse landscape, Senegal stands out for its unique artistic expressions and commitment to preserving its artisanal techniques. From textiles to woodwork, Senegalese artisans create works that reflect the country's rich history, cultural diversity, and deep connection to nature.
“Each skin has its own light”
Where do Ouwél products come from?
Our Ouwél products come from the lush forests of Senegal and Guinea-Bissau. Each ingredient is carefully hand-harvested and then locally processed to ensure freshness and preserve purity. This on-site process allows us to maintain the authenticity of our products while honoring the ancestral skills of local communities.
Are your products certified organic?
At Ouwél, we go beyond organic labels by offering 100% natural products directly from nature. No industrial processes alter their purity, and each harvest is done with the utmost respect for the environment. This artisanal approach intentionally limits our stock to provide you with exceptional, authentic products in harmony with nature.
Is Touloucouna oil the same as Carapate Procera?
Yes, Touloucouna oil, known locally by this name in Senegal, is scientifically referred to as Carapate Procera. What sets our oil apart is its superior quality, achieved through artisanal craftsmanship passed down through generations. Made with care by experienced women and young girls from the villages, this traditional method ensures a pure oil rich in benefits and environmentally friendly.
