Our Story

The Path to Sankolo
Hi, I'm Shayla, the founder of Sankolo. I started Sankolo out of a passion for crafting clean, gentle, and effective beauty products using high-quality, raw ingredients.
Our products are free of toxic ingredients, including artificial dyes and artificial fragrances, that are too common in many mainstream beauty products.
As a beauty product lover and a nature lover, my mission is to create products that are not only effective, but also environmentally-friendly and ethically-priced. Sankolo is clean beauty, powered by nature, and rooted in self-care.
Our Name
After weeks of trying to think of the perfect name for my brand, I stumbled on the beautiful Bambara language while researching the country of Mali.
Our founder wrote down a few words with lovely meanings and pronunciations.
Sankolo, which means sky or heaven, stuck out as the clear winner.
