When it comes to buying skin care products, what are the most important factors for you? For me, I love to have 100% natural, fresh, and organic ingredients. And what would make those products even better? No artificial fragances – in fact, I want something that smells heavenly, like coconut. Now, thanks to a company called Basa Body ~ we can have all of those traits and more!
Who are Basa Body?
Our story began with a trip to Kenya where we connected with wonderful, intelligent women working hard to feed their families. Their small-scale enterprise was called Coast Coconut Farms, where they produced virgin organic coconut oil by hand.
Determined to find a way to help them grow their business and tell their story, we came home and created Basa Body, named after the women of Mombasa, Kenya, where the coconut oil is produced.
We create natural skin-care products made with organic ingredients that do not harm the individual or the environment. Basa was created as a social for-profit company designed to help create economic opportunities and wealth for Kenyan women at the base of the economic pyramid so they can pull themselves out of poverty for good. Basa Body is also committed to donating 10% of all profits to humanitarian projects in Africa.
Basa skin care products are fresh, 100% natural, and made from only the finest ingredients. They are free from harsh chemicals and parabens that irritate the skin. Our products are made in small batches to ensure quality and freshness. They are safe for even the most sensitive skin. Our ingredients are kept to a minimum so you can feel safe using them for yourself and your family, even your little ones. Healing virgin coconut oil from Coast Coconut Farms in Kenya is a key ingredient in every Basa Body product.

Yehu Microfinance is one of our partner organizations and has helped over 18,000 women secure loans to start their own businesses and help themselves and their families rise out of poverty. The comapany had this to share, ” We are not in this for today but hopefully for many years to come. If we can help each other out as a team it would make us all the more happy.”
“As we prep for our November launch (scheduled for 11.16.11), we’ll be giving away lots of cool freebies including tons of product, skin care recipes, interviews with skin care and social business experts, instructional videos (how to make our coconut oil soap at home, for example), and lots more!”
My Review
For this review, Basa Body generously provided me with their 100% natural Body Lotion (as shown above) and Body Stick (as shown below). I absolutely love the scent of coconut – and with the seasons changing, so is my skin! This product couldn’t have come at a better time for myself, and for my oldest daughter who has eczema.
The products I received are absolutely amazing – they smell wonderful (like coconut) and leave your skin feeling soft, beautiful and moisturized. My daughter absolutely loves the coconut smell too, and I love that we finally found a product that is making her exzema go away! If you have ever known anyone with eczema, just imagine it on a small child who cannot help but scratch all the time. I am so incredibly thankful that I found this wonderful product!
I cannot explain enough how much our family loves Basa Body’s products! I would highly recommend checking out their website, and get ready for their launch which takes places next week! And I will continue to share this company’s incredible mission to help the women in Keyna have a better life.
