UTANO body butter in Gokwe, Midlands
Gokwe sun is not gentle on skin. Our unrefined shea and mango butters are made for exactly this kind of dry, bright heat.
The Midlands ask a lot of skin: long sun, dry air, and dust that pulls moisture out of you by the afternoon. A whipped double butter sits on the skin longer than a lotion does, which is the whole point.
UTANO jars travel from our Harare studio out to Gokwe and across the Midlands.
Rooted, our original double butter, is the one most people in this heat reach for first.
