When it comes to trying to find a great product for natural hair care that is also reasonably priced and easily accessible, Shea Moisture has quickly become one of my favorite brands! I love the diversity of body & hair care products that you can find readily at both Walgreens and select Target stores. One of the highlights of my year so far was when I had the opportunity to work with them and celebrity stylist, Felicia Leatherwood as a hair model for a segment during Good Morning Atlanta! The owners of Shea Moisture were so down to earth, and I could tell that they really had a passion for serving their customers and providing the best product they can develop!Connect with Shea Moisture on...

They both immigrated to the United States, but the situation was not much brighter, as they suddenly found themselves without resources or employment.Remembering his roots and deep family tradition, Richelieu realized his vision was to offer culturally authentic, high-quality skin care products for underserved communities. SheaMoisture is the legacy of his grandmother, Sofi. At 21 Sofi was widowed with children; to survive she made and sold her handmade shea butter soaps and other products all over the countryside in Sierra Leone. Rich decided to use his experience helping his grandmother create shea butter soaps, and began to incorporate four generations of recipes into his handmade natural bath and body products. In 1992, Richelieu and Nyema began to sell their wares along the sidewalks of Harlem. Their routine was to make the soaps and shea butters in the wee hours of each morning, load them up into a rickety van, set up the products on tables on the street at sunrise, and sell until the sun went down.By the second year, their hard work came to fruition when they formed Sundial Creations and SheaMoisture brand, with Richelieu acting as Founder and CEO, and Nyema, as President and COO. They began manufacturing in a 3,000 square foot plant, with the products sold through a network of street vendors, convenience stores, health food shops and beauty supply retailers.Keeping it in the family, Emmet Dennis, cousin to Richelieu, came onboard as a Partner and Chief Branding Officer, to help grow the brand. Prior to working with Sundial Creations, Emmet worked with entertainment tycoon, Sean Diddy Combs, building Combs’ brand and merchandising.SheaMoisture products soon became synonymous with high quality, organic skin treatments with beautiful, one-of-a-kind all-natural fragrances. Richelieu has remained true to his vision of a brand that serves people of all ethnicities by addressing specific skin care issues, which have traditionally been ignored by mass market skin care companies, such as hyper-pigmentation and dark spots. He remains a pioneer in his research, testing and utilization of rare, natural ingredients from all over globe into his skin care formulations.Now operating in a 55,000 square foot state-of-art manufacturing facility with a skin care lab and executive offices, SheaMoisture’s products are carried at mass market retailers throughout the United States, including Target, Target.com, Walgreens, Walgreens.com and Duane Reade.In 2008, Sundial Creations received the Black Enterprise “Emerging Business of the Year Award”, which recognizes businesses that have poised themselves for growth by carving out a special niche and adopting creative marketing techniques. Both brands have garnered much attention from the media, having been featured in Redbook, People, Allure, O, The Oprah Magazine, Essence, Organic Spa, Black Enterprise, The New York Times and Newsday. Sundial Creations strives to make a positive impact in local communities as well as throughout the world.@font-face { font-family: "Arial"; }@font-face { font-family: "Corbel"; }p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal { margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman"; }div.Section1 { page: Section1; }Sundial Creations – Our Mission:Our mission at Sundial Creations, makers of SheaMoisture, is three-fold: We are committed to making the highest quality natural skin care products possible; engaging in eco-friendly and cruelty-free business practices; and supporting fair trade coops in Africa while fostering growth in our local community.
