Our Story: From Our Roots to Your Glow
Hey there! I'm Whitney, and together with my incredible mom, we started KalaniGlow. Our story pretty much begins in Ghana, steeped in generations of skincare wisdom that's been passed down in our family. It's truly a legacy.
Growing up, I remember my mom, always bathing me with this amazing traditional African black soap. It wasn't anything fancy you'd find in stores; it was raw, handmade, and just part of our everyday life. But as I got older, you know how it is – I got caught up in all the trendy skincare stuff everyone on social media was raving about. I tried everything, hoping for that perfect skin. Instead, my skin just got worse – breakouts, dark spots, and honestly, a serious hit to my confidence.
It wasn't until I went back to basics, back to the same African black soap my mom used on me as a kid, that everything clicked. Seriously, within weeks, my skin started to clear up and get its glow back. My friends totally noticed! Soon, my mom was bringing extra bars back from Ghana, and I was basically sharing them with everyone I knew.
That's when we realized this was bigger than just my skin. In 2020, my mom and I officially launched KalaniGlow. Our mission? To share the real, raw, and powerful skincare magic of African black soap with the world.
Today, we're super proud to bring authentic, unrefined black soap directly from Ghana to thousands of folks across the U.S. We're all about helping you rediscover clear, balanced, and beautiful skin, just like I did. Because sometimes, the best stuff for your skin isn't made in a lab; it's found right in your roots.
