Humble Beginnings
Nubian Heritage is the brainchild of two New York street vendors. In 1992, fresh out of college and without jobs, Rich and Nyema embarked on a mission to produce luxurious natural products from traditional African recipes with fair trade ingredients. Today Nubian Heritage offers culturally authentic healing philosophies. Although Nubian Heritage products are no long made in bath tubs, little else has changed- the company still makes its own products, still uses fair trade ingredients and still invests in community commerce.
Heritage
For centuries, African Black Soap has been used in Africa to cleanse and care for the skin.

Complementing the ingredients detoxifying properties, our package pattern symbolizes purity and commemorates the strong community identity textiles have in Africa with each community having their own unique designs.
