Questions we get asked most
- UTANO Skin is a handmade Southern African body care studio. We whip shea, mango and avocado butters into rich double butters and hand butters, made in small batches in Harare, Zimbabwe.
- Every jar is made by hand in Harare, Zimbabwe. We work in small batches so each batch is whipped, filled and checked by a person rather than a production line.
- UTANO travels with our community. Jars are already in use across Zimbabwe (Harare, Gokwe and Kadoma), South Africa (Cape Town), the United Kingdom (London and Birmingham) and the United Arab Emirates (Dubai). Choose your currency at checkout and contact us if your country is not listed.
- Our double butters are built on shea butter, mango butter, almond oil, moringa oil, jojoba oil, vitamin E oil, arrowroot powder and beeswax. Every ingredient is listed on the product page for the jar you are looking at.
- No. Our butters contain beeswax, which is an animal-derived ingredient, so they are not suitable for a vegan routine. They are not tested on animals.
