Our pharmacopoeia brings together the finest active ingredients from the continent’s biodiversity, used for generations for their medicinal and cosmetic virtues.
A botanical wealth serving your dark, brown, and mixed skin
Nourishing shea butter, antioxidant moringa oil, regenerating baobab extracts… each ingredient is carefully selected for its proven benefits:
- Deeply moisturize and protect against external aggressions.
- Even out the complexion and reduce dark spots.
- Repair and naturally soothe sensitive skin.
An ethical and sustainable commitment
By promoting the plants of the Great Green Wall of Africa, we contribute to:
- Preserving biodiversity and fighting against desertification.
- Supporting local communities through sustainable and fair supply chains.
The IN’OYA pharmacopoeia is much more than a library of plants: it is a bridge between African tradition and scientific innovation. Explore our ingredients to discover how they reveal the true beauty of melanin-rich skin.
