Beauty Mogul Menaye Donkor Launches Ghanaian Skincare Brand SHE-Y in the US

The beauty industry continues to expand by creating natural and unique products for consumers. Beauty mogul, Menaye Donkor has created a luxury skincare brand that uses the highest grade of Shea Butter from Ghana, and other rare ingredients to create unique all-natural products while preserving old shea butter making traditions. The respect for nature, quality, and artisanal processing plays a major role in the SHE-Y philosophy.

"SHE-Y was born from my desire to combine the richness of high-Grade Shea Butter from my home country, Ghana, with other unique ingredients to create one of a kind products in the best Italian laboratories where I spent many years residing (I moved back to Ghana a year ago). The SHE-Y brand focuses on creating luxury products that preserve the importance of old traditions." - Menaye Donko, Founder of SHE-Y
