The essentials 

Christmas is an ideal time to help your loved ones stock up on their everyday body care essentials.  

Naturally Tribal Skincare’s range of nourishing body butters will have your friends and family feeling truly cared for. Founder Shallom Lloyd launched the range after looking to her African heritage for inspiration, recalling recipes containing all-natural ingredients used in Africa for generations, to help soothe her son's eczema. Not only do they provide relief for dry skin, their ethical sourcing of ingredients from rural Nigeria gives African women employment and opportunities.
