UTANO SKIN

The studio

The people who make the butter and write the journal

UTANO has been made by hand in Harare, Zimbabwe since 2025. Everything published here is written by the same people who fill the jars.

The UTANO Studio

Makers, Harare

The UTANO studio is the small team in Harare, Zimbabwe who make every jar by hand. We whip the butters, fill the jars and answer the messages, so what we write here comes from doing the work rather than reading about it. We write about ingredients we actually use and skin we actually see.
