Our Story
Moisture That Lasts. Glow That Lasts Longer.
Created for anyone tired of moisturizing and still seeing dryness return by midday.
Why Mzuri?
Mzuri was created to solve a real, everyday problem: dryness that doesn’t go away, especially for melanated skin.
Most products may smell good and feel good, but they don’t deliver lasting moisture. Skin is left needing more… and more… and more.
We took a different approach.
Powered by African Black Soap, Shea Butter, Aloe, and nutrient-rich plant oils, our formulas are designed to gently cleanse, deeply hydrate, and help support the skin’s natural moisture barrier—so softness lasts.
No ashiness. No tightness. Just skin that finally cooperates.
Meet The Founders
Mzuri is co-founded by Toun and Tunde Olawoye, combining backgrounds in clinical research with a shared understanding of dry, eczema-prone skin.
After years of trying products that promised hydration but never delivered, the journey shifted from searching to creating. What started as a personal need evolved into a brand grounded in both lived experience and scientific discipline.
Together, that perspective shapes how Mzuri formulates, sources, and tests—ensuring every product is built with intention from the start.
The result: thoughtfully developed formulas designed to deliver real, lasting hydration.
"Moisture shouldn't be a luxury. It should last. We created Mzuri so you could finally experience hydration that stays with you.... through your day, through your seasons, and through your glow."
— Toun Olawoye, Co-Founder
