Our Story
“I come from Gullah Geechee people. I come from the people who lived by the tides, healed with the land, and understood the power of water long before wellness became a trend. My great-grandmother taught me that the ocean isn’t just a place to swim; it’s medicine, memory, and survival. Today, I carry that legacy through Sookuyaa, a self-care line born from the water. Every butter, every oil, every blend is crafted for people who move, breathe, and restore themselves in the sun, the pool, and the sea. This isn’t just skincare. It’s heritage-powered healing for active, water-loving lives.”
We are a family company working with other families to provide "self care products" we love.
We source our raw shea
butter and other body butters
from West Africa
(Sierra Leone, Ghana & Senegal)
and add our Gullah/Geechee love
to each product from the
sea islands of South Carolina
and Coastal Georgia.
We create self care, body care
and skin care solutions for
everyone,
for the love of
every body.
PRODUCT
​
With high standards of quality body care, authenticity and tradition
is a state of mind at
Sookuyaa.
Our raw shea butter is not mixed with any chemicals or any other unnatural ingredient. We use the shea nut and water to produce an unrefined grade A shea butter. Our product is free of alcohols and parafins. It's all natural, gentle, and safe for most skin types; including babies.
​
Packaging is just as important as the product. For this reason, we have chosen to use glass and BPA free containers to avoid some of the known harsh chemicals and carcinogens contained in plastics. We choose to protect the integrity of our product and respect the labor intensive work that goes into turning the indigenous raw shea nut into a butter (used for the body and cooking). Dedicated women, on the African continent and the coast of South Carolina and Georgia, put love, time, and energy into producing a product that can benefit the world.
