About Hawi Nature’s Touch

Natural skincare in Kenya, born from personal need and passion

At Hawi Nature’s Touch, we believe everyday skincare should be nourishing, enjoyable and simple to maintain. We create natural skincare for health-conscious women, children and men, bringing together rich shea-based butters, botanical oils and practical routines for the whole family.

From everyday body moisture and lip care to routines for dry, acne-prone and eczema-prone skin, our aim is to help you choose care that fits your needs, not fill your shelf with products you do not need.

Our founders: Caroline and Diana

Hawi began with a real need. Co-founder Caroline experienced recurring acne for more than 15 years. Despite trying prescribed treatments, oils and advice from professionals, family and friends, periods of relief were often followed by frustrating flare-ups. Her experience inspired a deeper interest in wellness and an everyday skincare routine she could maintain.

In 2014, co-founder Diana’s own focus on wellness sparked her interest in personal-care ingredients and natural formulation. She began experimenting, sharing samples with friends and family, and learning more about formulating natural products. Their encouragement helped turn that interest into a business idea.

On 13 March 2017, Caroline and Diana met to discuss building a natural skincare business. Together, they brought personal experience and a passion for formulation into Hawi: thoughtfully made products that nourish skin and make everyday family care simpler.

Why choose Hawi?

Rich moisture with a purpose

Our shea-based butters help soften dry areas and retain moisture. Our Vitamin E-rich facial oil serum adds lightweight facial nourishment and a healthy-looking glow. Choose a standalone product or a coordinated duo according to your routine.

Botanical ingredients with regional roots

Shea butter and coconut oil connect our formulas with ingredients used across generations to care for skin and hair. That heritage reaches from northern Uganda’s Nilotica shea to Kenya’s coconut-growing coast. Our formulated skincare is handcrafted in Kenya, while our Raw Nilotica Shea Butter is sourced from Uganda. Complementary ingredients are selected for the needs of each formula.

Choices for your family and preferences

Some customers love warm vanilla and citrus; others prefer no added fragrance. Our range includes scented and fragrance-free choices, children’s balms, men’s grooming care and nourishing lip balms. Clear ingredients and application directions help you make a considered choice.

Care shaped by customer feedback

We listen to the people who use Hawi, learn from their experiences and use that feedback to guide product development. Our focus is practical, enjoyable care with realistic expectations, not promises that one formula will suit everyone.

Our faith: gratitude for God’s creation

Hawi is a faith-based business whose faith is centred on the Bible. For our founders, Hawi represents a gift from God or a blessing. Nature’s Touch expresses their gratitude for His creation, including the plants, seeds, nuts and fruits behind our botanical ingredients.

That gratitude shapes our desire to work with integrity, care for people and use the gifts of nature thoughtfully. Read the faith, nature and care story behind Hawi.
