Our story began in 2020 with a simple, creative curiosity: How is soap truly made, and why does the "handmade" touch matter?
What started as a crafty exploration quickly became personal revelation and revolution. After years of battling chronic skin challenges all linked to skin dehydration, the shift to handmade, glycerin-rich bars changed everything. My skin didn't just stop feeling stressed—it began to heal. I realised that when we stop fighting what our skin needs and start nourishing it intentionally, every other part of our care routine finally has the space to work.
DNO stands for Divinely Natural and Organic. We believe there is a divine inspiration in caring for the body in the most non-invasive, gentle, and therapeutic ways possible.
We are proud of our roots, prioritising local raw materials that celebrate the richness of Nigeria. Our star ingredient, Palm Kernel Oil, is a testament to the effective, nutrient-dense resources found right in our backyard. By marrying traditional wisdom with artisan precision, we create products that are as valuable as they are beautiful.
In a world that is always in a hurry, our products create a portal to a new world of possibilities. To us, a bar of soap isn't just a utility—it is a reminder that beauty exists in the everyday simplicities.
As an artisan business, we produce in small, intentional batches. This is our Symbol of Grace: the freedom to appreciate the uniqueness of every single bar and the patience to allow our craft grow with every passing day. Each bar is a piece of functional art, designed to be pleasant whether displayed as decor or cherished in use.
We say that skincare should feel like home because "home" is where you are permitted to be fully present. A DNO bath is an invitation to come home to yourself—a moment to pause, breathe, and be refreshed by the wholesome act of care.
From cleansing to exfoliating, hydrating and sealing, our collections offer a holistic care experience. We aren't just washing away the day; we are resetting, reorienting, and reminding you that you deserve a life lived beautifully.
