Refasha Zanzibar turns locally grown seaweed into high-quality natural cosmetics and wellness products. We empower women seaweed farmers, use eco-friendly solar drying and sustainable processing, and provide chemical-free skincare to health-conscious consumers.
With only 3% of Zanzibar’s seaweed processed locally, we fill a critical gap by adding value at the source. Our model reduces CO₂ emissions, promotes gender inclusion, and supports the blue economy. Backed by growing local and international demand for clean beauty and sustainable ingredients, Refasha has strong potential to scale, boost rural livelihoods, and lead the natural cosmetics market in East Africa and beyond.
