The Shea butter products are made from unrefined, organic Shea butter imported from West Africa. The whipped version is a blend of Shea butter and various oils such as coconut, extra virgin olive oil, grapeseed and almond oils. “All of these have great benefits for both skin and hair, and are packed with vitamins such as vitamins A and E,” Nekwaya said.
The products are all available on their social media pages (Facebook: Nutifafa Organics and on Instagram @NutifafaOrganics) and soon there will be a retail website. The cost of the products ranges from N$60 for the Liquid Black Soap to N$100 for the Black Soap Bar, and N$250 for the whipped Shea butters. Nekwaya will be showcasing her products and meeting her customers this weekend at that Great Pop Up Shop experience.

It is one event that gives entrepreneurs a chance to set up pop up shops for the day where they get to meet their customers, introduce their different brands to people and just keep shop for the day. The event will be taking place at Pia’s in Post Street Mall (where the old Gourmet Restaurant used to be). The event starts at 10:00 and closes at 18:00. Entrance is N$20 and it promises to be a day of fun, creative and innovative shopping with a varied collection of Namibian entrepreneurs.
