AKWABA, WELCOME TO CACAO
The clean beauty platform where you can discover the finest treasures from Africa and its diaspora.
Founded by two sisters, Emeline and Rita, CACAO is the result of their multicultural journey and their passion for beauty. It is this passion that inspired them to create a unique skincare platform. As multicultural consumers themselves, they dreamed of a beauty concept store that would represent the diversity and authenticity of beauty products from Africa and its diaspora, making them accessible to all.
