Inspired by centuries of West African skincare traditions, Melyon’s Body Lotion blends the nourishing powers of shea butter and moringa oil. Passed down through generations, this iconic skin-softening ritual reflects the cultural heritage where the production of shea butter—known as “women’s gold”—has long been entrusted to the skilled hands of West African women.
Moringa Oil
Extracted from the seeds of the Moringa Oleifera tree, moringa oil is celebrated for its light texture and deep hydration. Rich in antioxidants, it protects skin from environmental damage while soothing irritation and nourishing sensitive skin—making it a perfect ingredient for daily body care.
Shea Butter
Derived from the nuts of the African shea tree, shea butter is a deeply moisturizing, vitamin-rich emollient that protects skin from moisture loss and soothes inflammation. Its natural blend of fatty acids and vitamins A and E promotes elasticity and supports skin regeneration.
Together, moringa oil and shea butter form the perfect duo to deeply hydrate, restore, and protect dry or sensitive skin. Melyon Body Lotion is gentle enough for all ages, embodying a beloved West African tradition—where mothers massage their children with shea butter after evening baths, ensuring both soft skin and restful sleep.
“I believe most West African children and adults have a strong connection to shea butter. When I was a child, moisturizing was essential—it was simply unacceptable to have dry skin, whether before school or after a bath. That tradition taught me the importance of skincare for darker skin, which tends to be thicker and requires deeper hydration. My parents passed down this ritual to me, and to this day, I always carry lotion with me.”
– Roger Dupé, Founder of Melyon
