Mozambican Sustainable Cosmetics

BOM Offers a Range of Product From Their Community of Partners

— May 27, 2014 — Social Good
BOM is a Mozambican cosmetics company that stands for Bio Óleos de Miombo. They offer body oils, lip balms, exfoliating scrubs, perfumes, body butter and more. What is so enticing about BOM specifically is their mix of ingredients such as basil and cardamom, coconut and vanilla, rosemary and mandarin and jasmine and ginger. You can almost smell and taste it.

In order to produce their products they work with a community of partners that work to conserve the seedlings. They products are handmade by craftswomen. "From oilseed harvest and cold press oil extraction, to the hand-crafting of beautiful canisters from sustainably-harvested noble hardwoods, BOM brings you a unique bodycare line of unparalleled quality, social and environmental responsibility," BOM writes on its website.
