DOGOYARO | Hand-Mixed Ghee Soap
It’s not shy. DOGOYARO, meaning neem, is a tree that grows in abundance all across Nigeria and is known for its fierce healing power. This bar is for skin that has dealt with it all: congestion, irritation, roughness, imbalance.
Bold in presence and purpose, its bitter botanical compounds help bring skin back into balance by reducing inflammation, removing dead skin and saturating the barrier with anti-bacterial elements.
Each bar is slowly hand-mixed, not by machines, but by the weight of a wooden spoon and the patience of time. Cold-processed at cooler temperatures to preserve botanical properties and nutrients. This work is not fast, but it is not a burden. It is a practice of attention & a quiet return.

Scent Notes: Crushed fresh herbs, roasted cacao and geosmarin.

NEEM EXTRACT POWDER: Even more intense than the whole powered herb. Antibacterial, antiseptic and detoxifying. Combats acne, calms reactive skin, reduces congestion and supports long-term clarity.
BLACK SEED POWDER: Finely milled and rich in thymoquinone which offers anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antioxidant properties. It helps to combat acne-causing bacteria, soothe and calm inflamed skin while delivering mild exfoliation and antioxidant protection.
GHANIAN NEEM OIL: A potent oil enriched with essential fatty acids and anti-hyperpigmentation properties (limonoids). It is used to cleanse and rebalance acne-prone skin, support skin repair, and calm irritation.
ITALIAN BERGAMOT ESSENTIAL OIL: Rich in linalool and limonene, it softly brightens dull skin, clears minor blemishes, and adds an aromatic citrus note with a herbal nuance.
INDIAN HEMP LEAF ESSENTIAL OIL: Abundant in terpenes, hemp leaf oil is highly anti-inflammatory. It supports microcirculation, improves skin texture, reduces reactivity and strengthens the skin’s natural barrier.
AFRICAN CACAO ABSOLUTE: This particular absolute gives the bar its smoky-sweet aroma and warmth. Abundant in flavonoids that work against oxidative stress.
LICORICE EXTRACT: A rich source for the glycosides, flavonoids, and saponins. A super hydrating anti-inflammatory that works to heal eczema, soothe and clarify skin. Contains properties to block tyrosinase thus reducing hyperpigmentation while evening skin tone.
COW GHEE: Nutrient-dense and deeply skin-loving, our ghee is clarified from cow milk butter and rich in fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K. Each known to support skin elasticity, protect, and aid in cellular renewal. It also contains butyric acid and conjugated linoleic acid, powerful compounds that combat inflammation and help strengthen the skin’s natural barrier. Ghee promotes a radiant complexion and offers lasting relief for dry, depleted skin.
BRAZILIAN BABASSU OIL: Sustainably harvested from the Amazon, this gentle yet effective oil offers a cleansing power similar to coconut oil but without the stripping that may come with it. It supports the skin’s moisture barrier while soothing and softening with every use. Fast-absorbing and nutrient-rich, babassu is ideal for those that experience dry skin while using other soaps formulations containing coconut oil.
GHANIAN SHEA NUT OIL: Unlike heavier butters, shea nut oil absorbs more easily, making it ideal for soaps that moisturize without residue. Rich in fatty acids and skin-repairing compounds, it supports barrier health, calms irritation, and leaves skin feeling supple.
INDIAN CASTOR OIL: Pressed from castor beans, this thick, nutrient-abundant golden oil promotes deep skin hydration and supports a stronger, healthier skin barrier over time. It is traditionally prized for its nourishing and purifying effects, helping to smooth fine lines and protect the skin’s surface. In soap, castor oil boosts lather, creating a creamy, dense texture that enhances your bathing experience.
