About

MENEA's story

MENEA was created following the personal experience of the founder, Soifiya Hassani, with her second child, who from birth had extremely dry and irritated skin all over her body. It was a very difficult situation because she desperately tried all the products available in pharmacies.

Being a professional in the field of chemistry, she had a real shock when she consulted the list of baby body care ingredients, because she recognized toxic products, which can cause cancer and hormonal imbalance. She therefore decided to turn to natural products. While doing her research, she realizes that her country of origin, the Comoros Islands, has a rich tradition of skin care with vegetable oils.
Menea's care was created following the founder's personal experience with her second child, who from birth had extremely dry and irritated skin all over her body. It was a very difficult situation because she desperately tried all the products available in the pharmacy, and even with the advice of the doctor, it was complicated

In autumn 2020, she begins to build this entrepreneurial project to bring natural and above all health-friendly body care products for infants and all other family members. On the same occasion, it allows him to share the wealth cultural heritage of the Archipelago of the Comoros for skin care.

Being a company working in cosmetics, the question of the impact on the environment is important. We are concerned about reducing the production of single-use containers as much as possible, we use recyclable and reusable containers. In the future, we want to consign the containers and offer our products in bulk.
The ingredients chosen for the manufacturing of our products are all natural and/or of vegetable origin, they are all biodegradable, so there is no impact on the environment.

In addition, 58% of the ingredients are organic and eco-responsible. The shea butter comes from a cooperative of women producers of organic shea butter in Burkina Faso, which allows us to support them and their families. The same approach is taken with the producers of essential oil of Ylang Ylang in the Comoros Islands.
We support hundreds of families in this way, and this is a source of pride for us! This represents a major social impact for the company. MENEA's social impact is felt on the well-being of families. Indeed, people suffering from skin problems can be anxious about it.

MENEA brings a solution that allows them to find a certain serenity. It is important to remember that the skin is the largest organ of the human body and represents 16% of the total weight.
