It Started with a Rose

In 2015, a simple picture of rose-shaped soaps in a craft magazine sparked a transformation in my kitchen. What began as a curiosity soon became a passion for Ms. Rosalina Mwanza. Starting at local Craft and Farmers markets, the word spread from friends to neighbors.Baobab Swirls wasn't just soap,it was skin-changing care.

The idea behind Baobab Swirls is to return to how soap was made centuries ago. We reject harsh chemicals in favor of nature’s most healing ingredients. By crafting in small, intentional batches, we ensure that every bar maintains its freshness and nutrient-dense quality when it reaches your home.
