Shea Butter Skincare — Made in Burkina Faso
In Ouagadougou, Odiss Cosmétiques is transforming damaged skin and outdated beauty standards using one powerful tool: locally sourced, natural ingredients like shea butter, neem, and baobab oil.
Founded by Denise Odette Konseiga, a former pharmacy assistant, Odiss has grown into a certified organic brand that now employs 17 staff and supports over 300 women across shea cooperatives. From Burkina to Belgium and beyond, the brand is making waves.
In a market long dominated by imports, Odiss is proving that African-made skincare can be both ethical and effective.
