Skin Gourmet Is Redefining Clean Beauty and Selling On Global Marketplaces with The Folklore

Skin Gourmet Is Redefining Clean Beauty and Selling On Global Marketplaces with The Folklore

 

In the heart of Ghana, Skin Gourmet is transforming the meaning of clean beauty — one edible skincare product at a time. Founded by entrepreneur Violet Amoabeng, the brand’s mission is simple yet revolutionary: “If you can’t eat it, don’t put it on your skin.”

Each product is handmade from wild, natural ingredients sourced across Ghana — pure enough to eat, powerful enough to heal. From whipped shea butter to nourishing oils, Skin Gourmet celebrates a deep connection to the land, local producers, and a philosophy of radical transparency.

Now, that commitment to authenticity and sustainability is reaching a global audience, thanks to the tools and technology offered by The Folklore — and it’s putting Ghana’s clean-beauty movement on the map.

The Philosophy Behind Edible Skincare

For Violet, Skin Gourmet was never just about creating products — it was about creating impact.

Her philosophy centers on purity, self-respect, and community empowerment. Every ingredient is harvested responsibly, every product processed locally, and every sale contributes to Ghana’s growing ecosystem of ethical entrepreneurship.

“We’re not here to follow trends,” Violet explains. “We’re here to change the way the world sees African-made beauty — to prove that it can be world-class, natural, and deeply rooted in culture.”

That belief has become a cornerstone of the African clean-beauty movement — a growing wave of founders across the continent championing sustainable sourcing, transparency, and cultural pride.

With minimalist branding and a “beauty you can eat” ethos, Skin Gourmet has positioned itself as a leader in this new generation of African beauty brands redefining global standards of quality and care.

Making Global Beauty More Accessible

Beyond visibility, Skin Gourmet is transforming accessibility. With The Folklore’s consumer storefront, customers from around the world can now shop Skin Gourmet’s collection directly — enjoying affordable international shipping and flexible payment options that make premium, ethically made skincare attainable.

It’s a major milestone not only for the brand but for the broader clean-beauty and sustainable-skincare movement emerging from Africa — one focused on transparency, empowerment, and conscious consumption.

Expanding Globally Through The Folklore

As demand for African beauty brands grows, Skin Gourmet faced a familiar challenge for independent labels: how to scale global reach without sacrificing authenticity or efficiency.

Through The Folklore’s Multi-Channel Selling platform, Skin Gourmet now connects its products to millions of shoppers across six major online marketplaces — including Etsy, Google Shop, Pinterest, and TikTok Shop.

This all-in-one solution gives Skin Gourmet the visibility of a global brand while maintaining the heart of a small business. By simplifying product listings, orders, and fulfillment, Violet and her team can focus on what they do best — crafting high-quality skincare and building community.

The results speak for themselves: access to new audiences, seamless logistics, and exposure, all achieved organically through The Folklore’s connected ecosystem.

Building a Future of Purposeful Growth

Skin Gourmet’s story reflects the growing wave of beauty brands rooted in purpose — using technology to drive social and environmental change. What began as a small experiment in edible skincare is now a global example of how values and scalability can coexist.

By merging Ghanaian craftsmanship with modern digital tools, Violet is proving that clean beauty can be ethical, profitable, and globally celebrated — without losing its roots.

“We’re growing on our terms — with purpose, with pride, and with the right partners,” Violet says.

Empowering the Next Generation of Independent Brands

Skin Gourmet’s journey is part of a wider movement powered by The Folklore — one that enables independent brands across Africa, Latin America, and beyond to reach new audiences, streamline operations, and sell globally with ease.

Through features like Multi-Channel Selling and integrated storefronts, The Folklore is helping the African beauty and wellness industry gain the global visibility it deserves — empowering more founders to share their culture, craft, and creativity with the world.

Because when technology meets purpose, independent brands don’t just grow — they thrive.
