Our Story
 Mimaami Organics is inspired by the heritage of women in Ghana who have healed their skin throughout generations with shea butter and all-natural products. Our mission is to create a world in which living a natural life is accessible, while improving the lives of women (specifically mothers) along the way. As such, we’ve teamed up with a community of women in Ghana in order to bring their knowledge from this beautiful ancient shea nut tree to women everywhere.
Meet Our Founder
As a mother herself, Mildred searched tirelessly for topical ointments that could effectively address and soothe her daughter’s persistent eczema. Her mother, who lives in Ghana, reminded her of the power of shea butter as it had been used as a moisturizer by their family for generations. This led her to begin weaving shea butter into most of her family’s daily self-care products, and truly realizing its life-changing benefits. After seeing, and experiencing first-hand, the rewards of regularly using shea butter, Mildred felt the call to share this knowledge with the women of the world.Â
Mildred was moved to name her brand Mimaami Organics because Mimaami means ‘my mother’ in the Twi language that is native to the Ashanti Region of Ghana, where our shea butter is derived from. She inherently knew that motherhood is the best expression of Mimaami Organics, and wanted this brand to appeal to mothers everywhere even through its name.Â
From woman to woman, she thanks you for joining her on this journey to heal our skin with the love of nature.
Let's take care together.
