ONE BOTANICAL
A seed from further afield.
Most of our botanicals come from the Middle East. Akpi comes from further afield: the seeds of a tall rainforest tree of West and Central Africa, where they are widely known as njangsa. FAYNAN Pure Akpi Seed Oil brings it into a simple body ritual, after the shower.
One botanical, clearly named, with nothing added and no exaggerated promises.
Three steps, after the shower.
01 — AFTER THE SHOWER
Pat skin lightly, leaving it slightly damp.
02 — MASSAGE
Warm a few drops between your palms and massage into the body in slow, upward strokes, giving extra time to drier areas.
03 — SETTLE
Give it a few minutes to absorb before dressing.
FAYNAN takes its name from a classical Arabic word used to describe beautiful, long hair.

Your questions, answered
What is akpi oil?
An oil pressed from the seeds of the akpi tree (Ricinodendron heudelotii), which grows across West and Central Africa, where it is also known as njangsa. FAYNAN Pure Akpi Seed Oil is a single ingredient, with nothing added.
How do I use it on the body?
After a shower or bath, smooth a few drops over slightly damp skin and massage in slow strokes until absorbed. Damp skin helps a small amount spread further.
What will I notice?
Akpi oil is a body oil chosen for how it feels. Smoothed over damp skin after the shower, it leaves the body feeling soft, smooth and supple, with a healthy-looking sheen.
How should I store it?
Akpi oil is delicate. Keep the bottle tightly closed, away from heat and direct light, and use it within six months of opening for the freshest feel and scent.
Where does my order ship from?
