Our Story

HAVNS products are made for people with sensitive skin and who are lovers of natural products. I have an allergy that makes me react to most soaps on the market, my face reddens and my body becomes dry and itchy. In late 2022, I decided to research into soap making.

My findings:

1. Most Soaps don't have moisturizing oils or butter, hence dry and irritating skin
2. They are high in coconut oil; my research indicates that some people react to coconut oil. So soaps with high coconut oil content gives them allergic reactions.
3. Most soaps contain animal fats, they are captured on the labels as                             - Sodium Lardate (Fat from Pig)  - Sodium Tallowate (Fat from Cow)
4. Finally, some people have allergic reactions when they use soaps containing Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (a foaming agent) because their skin is sensitive to the chemical.

 In October 2023, I made my first Shea butter-rich Almond Milk soap for myself. And I loved the way my body felt after bathing. I also made Neem and Aidan Fruit (Prekese) soap for my kid who had dandruff issues, and the feedback was positive. Three months after using my handmade cold-processed soaps, I decided to share them with friends, family, and church members. And now HAVNS Soaps are out there for the public's benefit.

At HAVNS we are inspired to use natural ingredients to create healthy skincare products for family's unique needs. We carefully select indigenous African ingredients (Shea Butter, Prekese - (Aidan Fruit), and Neem Leaves) based on their healing properties to create modern natural skin care solutions.

The nourishing properties of our Shea butter-rich soaps infused with Almond milk, or Aidan Fruit (Prekese) extract or Neem leaf extract help to heal, replenish, and revitalize your skin, making it feel smooth and healthy. 

All our soaps are good for the Hair, Face, and Body.  It's a good choice for people with Sensitive skin, Dry skin, Acne-prone skin, Skin Inflammation, and Eczema, due to its high moisturizing effect on the skin, and the anti-bacterial, antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties of the ingredients. There are no animal fats, dyes, parabens, and Sodium Lauryl Sulfate in our soaps.

HAVNS Soaps are made with LOVE.
