About Us

Born and raised in Kenya, the founder of MELEMETA developed a deep appreciation for nature from an early age. Surrounded by the rich landscapes of the countryside and a culture rooted in natural living, she grew up immersed in the rhythms of farming, traditional remedies, and the power of plant-based ingredients.

Her passion for natural beauty was sparked by watching her family and community use the gifts of the earth to nourish both skin and soul—shea butter, aloe vera, hibiscus, and more. That early connection to the land inspired her lifelong belief that true beauty comes from nature’s simplicity and purity.

As a licensed cosmetologist and veteran salon owner, she witnessed her clients struggle with hair breakage, slow growth, and the challenge of finding effective natural hair care remedies. This hands-on experience with diverse hair and skin needs influenced her commitment to creating products that truly work—gentle, effective, and naturally powered. To expand her expertise, she later pursued a diploma in cosmetic formulation.

She founded MELEMETA to bring the essence of natural wellness to others. Each product is thoughtfully crafted with high-quality, ethically sourced ingredients—often inspired by African botanicals and time-honored traditions. Her mission is to offer clean, nourishing hair and skincare solutions that are not only effective, but also rooted in love, heritage, and sustainability.
