Basa Body Review




The Basa Body story began years ago with a single trip to Kenya. 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. Intrigued by their commitment, skill, and entrepreneurial spirit, we were determined to help these women tell their story and grow their business. The result is BasaBody, named after the women of Mombasa, Kenya, where Basa's coconut oil is produced.

As well as providing a sustainable income and employment for the women of Coast Coconut farms, Basa Body also donates 10% of its profits to humanitarian projects in Kenya. 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.

All Basa Body products are made with Virgin Organic Coconut Oil that is easily absorbed into the skin and has natural antioxidants that are antimicrobial, antibacterial, and antifungal. Basa Body products help promote healing and give skin a healthier, youthful appearance.

MY THOUGHTS

I’ve been using Basa Body Lotion for a couple weeks now and I love it! The lotion applies easily since it contains coconut oil, yet it absorbs quickly and does not leave my skin feeling greasy. Any time I start to feel my skin drying out from the cold winter air here in Tennessee, I reach for the Basa Body lotion and it refreshes my rough patches and leaves my skin soft again. My favorite feature is the coconut scent because it smells fresh and authentic unlike products with synthetic fragrances. For my especially dry and itchy areas of skin I use the Basa Body Stick which is a little more oily and waxy in consistency than the lotion, because all it contains is 100% virgin coconut oil and beeswax. I love when products only contain a few ingredients that I recognize vs. a long list of things I can’t pronounce. I’ve also used the Basa Body Stick on my two year-old’s skin when his eczema flares up and it seems to be soothing his problem areas effectively!
