A WORD ON THE SKIN

Your skin is an organ — the largest one you have. Not just a surface, but the boundary between you and everything else, and whatever you lay on it, it takes in. How you cover yourself is the first decision you make about protecting your INNRG.

Shea Butter

What it is: Pure, unrefined shea butter for skin, hands, elbows, feet, and beard. It comes from the nut of the shea tree, which grows across sub-Saharan Africa — the same butter our ancestors have pressed by hand for thousands of years.

What it does: Shea is a lifeline for skin and hair because its makeup replicates and reinforces your body’s own protective barrier. Unlike synthetic moisturizers that sit on the surface and wear off, shea is dense with the same fatty acids and vitamins — A, E, and F — your skin and hair already make to protect themselves. It absorbs rather than coats: calming dryness and irritation, sealing in moisture for hours, and strengthening hair from the scalp down. No synthetic chemicals.

How to use it: Shea How to use it: Warm a small amount between your palms until it melts. Apply where you need it. A little goes a long way.

Your body doesn’t read shea as something foreign — it reads it as kin. Like ancestral memory, it recognizes home, and covers it.



African Black Soap

What it is: Traditional African black soap — known in West Africa as Alata Samina in Ghana and Anago Samina in Nigeria. It’s made the old way: plantain skins, cocoa pods, palm leaves, and shea tree bark, sun-dried and roasted to ash, then blended with unrefined oils like palm, coconut, and shea butter. No synthetic chemicals, no added fragrance, no artificial lye — the plant ash itself is what turns the oils into soap.

What it does: Because it’s saponified by natural plant ash instead of harsh lye, black soap cleanses deep without stripping your skin’s moisture barrier. The cocoa pods and plantain skins carry plant antioxidants, and the soap holds natural vitamins A and E. Its fine ash gives a gentle exfoliating texture that lifts away dead skin and the day’s buildup, helps balance oily skin, and over time supports a clearer, more even-looking tone. Traditionally, it’s the soap West African families turned to for breakouts, dark marks, and irritated skin.

How to use it: Don’t apply the raw soap straight onto your skin — the ash can be rough, especially on the face. Scoop a small amount, work it between wet hands into a rich, creamy lather, and apply the foam, not the raw soap. Rinse. Then moisturize right away while your skin is still damp — your shea butter is the natural partner here. Keep the jar sealed and store somewhere dry between uses.

Black soap is one of the oldest rituals of West Africa. Made from earth, ash, and oils by hands that came before us, it carries generational knowledge in every use. To use it is to connect with the ancestral wisdom of how to take care of yourself.

PART ONE

ALIGN

Pause. Breathe. Become aware. Find your ground before you reach for anything else.

Root / Foundation “I AM”

Safety · Stability · Protection · Presence

Palo Santo

What it is: Palo Santo — Bursera graveolens, “holy wood” — from the dry tropical forests of Ecuador and Peru, where it’s been burned for over a thousand years. What makes it special is how it comes to be: the scent only develops in trees that die naturally and cure on the forest floor for years — four to ten of them — while the resin crystallizes inside the wood. Real Palo Santo isn’t cut down.It’s aged by the forest, then gathered.

What it does: When you light it, the heat releases that crystallized resin as a sweet pine-and-citrus smoke — rich in limonene, the same bright compound found in citrus peel. The aroma encourages presence, calm, and a clean mental reset; it shifts the feel of a mood, a space, or a moment. In

Andean and Amazonian tradition, the smoke itself was the work: healers used it to clear the energy of a person or a room, and read how it moved — thin and straight for a space at peace, thick and dark for one that needed clearing.

How to use it: Light the tip, let it burn 10 to 15 seconds, then blow out the flame. Let the smoke move through your space, around your body, or over a doorway — many set an intention as they do, picturing it carried upward with the rising smoke. Rest it on a heat-safe surface to go out on its own.

One stick relights again and again.

Smoke has marked transitions in every culture in human history. When you light Palo Santo,

you are saying: something is shifting here.

Hematite

What it is: A polished iron-rich stone, heavier than it looks, with a deep metallic sheen. It’s iron oxide, built on the same iron that runs in your own blood — part of why holding it can feel like coming home to your body. It's iron oxide — the same element that runs in your blood — which is

part of why holding it feels like coming home to your own body.

What it does: Known as a grounding stone. Its weight in your hand brings you back into your body and supports focus, courage, and stability under pressure.

How to use it: Carry it in your pocket. Hold it when you feel scattered or anxious. Place it on your nightstand when you sleep.

The body responds to weight before it responds to words. Hematite is a tool for coming back to

yourself without having to think about it.

Sudanese Frankincense

What it is: Pure resin from the Boswellia tree, harvested in Sudan — one of the oldest aromatic substances on earth, drawn from the bark as pale tears that harden in the sun.

What it does: Burned on charcoal or simply held and breathed in, frankincense releases a warm, resinous smoke long used to steady the mind and mark a space as sacred. In ancient Egypt it was burned in the temples at dawn — the rising smoke understood as prayer made visible. Across faiths ever since, it has accompanied stillness, grief, and devotion.

How to use it: Place a small piece on a charcoal disc to release the aroma, or simply hold the resin and breathe it in. Some prefer to carry a piece in their pocket as a quiet ritual.

You’re carrying the same resin that’s been pressed into the foreheads of rulers for three

thousand years. Same resin. Different crown.

Sacral / Connection “I FEEL”

Emotion · Creativity · Healthy Expression

Signet Fidget Balls

What they are: Silicone-coated magnetic spheres that attract and repel each other.

What they do: Reduce nervous energy, support focus, encourage mindfulness, and give the hands something to do during difficult moments.

How to use them: Hold them in one hand. Let them click, separate, snap back together. Use during phone calls, in meetings, while you think, or any time you feel restless.

You were probably told to sit still your whole life. The energy never left — you just learned to bury it. Let your hands move instead. Half the time the thought you’re chasing only shows up once the hands are busy.

PART TWO

ALKALINE

Nourish your body. Hydrate. Move. Rest. Restore your fire and feed your heart.

Solar Plexus / Purpose “I WILL”

Discipline · Confidence · Action

Ginger Chews

What they are: Crystallized ginger — the warming root that traveled the ancient spice routes out of Southeast Asia, prized for centuries in Ayurvedic and Chinese tradition as a fire for the body.

What they do: Support digestion, ease stomach discomfort, and provide a gentle energy boost.

How to use them: Eat one when your stomach feels off, when you need to wake up, or before a heavy meal.

This is where you decide things. Ginger is fire you can hold in your hand. Chew one when you

need to remember your will lives in your gut, not your feelings.

Heart / Compassion “I LOVE””

Love · Forgiveness · Kinship

Aventiis Arabian Oil (Male), Oud Amar (Female)

What it is: A concentrated perfume oil in the tradition of Arabian attars — alcohol-free and oil-based, built on botanical extracts including oud, amber, and musk. Oud is agarwood: the dark, fragrant resin a wild Aquilaria tree produces only after it’s wounded. It is one of the rarest scents on

earth, once worth its weight in gold and carried along the Silk Road, and in Arabian tradition it has been worn for over a thousand years as a signature — a trail left in the air behind you.

What it does: Encourages confidence, supports a positive self-image, and creates a memorable personal presence. Reminds you that caring for yourself is not vanity, it’s self-respect.

How to use it: Apply a small amount to your wrists, the base of your throat, behind your ears, or on your chest. Less is more with attars. One application lasts for hours.

People remember you before they turn around. Long before you ever speak, your scent has

already introduced you. That’s not vanity —that’s walking into rooms on purpose. Pick what

you want said about you before you open your mouth.

100% Cacao Unroasted Dark Chocolate

What it is: 100% cacao — Theobroma cacao, a name that means “food of the gods.” Native to the Americas, it was sacred to the Maya and Aztec, who drank it bitter and unsweetened in ceremony, used the beans as currency, and reserved it for royalty, healers, and warriors. They believed it opened the heart and sharpened the mind.

What it does: Pure cacao is rich in antioxidants and the natural compounds that gently lift mood and focus. Unsweetened and bitter — close to the way it was first drunk. A reminder that strength

and tenderness can live in the same body.

How to use it: Break off a small piece. Let it melt on your tongue instead of chewing. Taste the bitter before the sweet.

Let it melt, don’t chew. Bitter before sweet —that’s the whole thing. Strength was never about

not feeling. It’s feeling all of it and not letting it run you.

PART THREE

ReMIND

You are more than your circumstances. You are worthy of healing, growth, and purpose.

Throat / Truth “I SPEAK””

Voice · Communication · Integrity

Manuka Honey Sticks (MGO 200+)

Before anything else existed, sound did. Every culture remembers this. Words shaped the world. They still do. The first thing you do when you walk into a room is speak. The first thing people decide

about you is how your voice carries. The first thing you give your children, your friends, your loved ones, your enemies, is the sound of your throat.

The throat is where belief turns into sound. If you're going to say true things out loud, take care of the place they come from.

Your voice is an instrument. It vibrates through your body before it reaches anyone else. When you speak with strength, your chest opens. When you speak with fear, your throat closes. When you speak with truth, the whole room feels it. Those who know how to use their voice know how to lead, how to love, how to protect what matters, how to hold a moment without filling it. The quality of

your voice is the quality of your presence.

What makes manuka different.

Manuka honey comes from bees in New Zealand that pollinate the flowers of the manuka tree, a plant native to that part of the world. Nothing else like it grows anywhere else on earth. What the

bees produce from those flowers carries a natural compound called methylglyoxal, often shortened to MGO, that you won't find in regular grocery store honey. The higher the MGO number, the more concentrated the natural compound. The honey in your kit is MGO 200+, a daily wellness grade that

has been valued across generations for what it offers the throat, the gut, and the energy of the body.

Our ancestors across many cultures kept honey close. They treated it as a household ally for the throat, a way to ease discomfort, a small ritual of care passed from grandmother to grandchild, from

auntie to the young ones. The exact words changed across languages. The practice stayed the same. A spoonful of honey at the right moment is older than most of what we now call wellness.

Take a stick before a big conversation. Take one after you've been talking too long. Take one when

your voice feels small and you need it to feel real. Take one when you feel something coming on and

you want to meet it before it meets you.

First Eye / Vision “I SEE”

Insight · Reflection · Self-Awareness

Lavender Eye Pillow

What it is: A small fabric pillow filled with dried lavender, sized to rest over your closed eyes.

What it does: Encourages relaxation, supports stress reduction, and helps prepare the body for rest. The gentle weight calms the nervous system.

How to use it: Lie down. Close your eyes. Place the pillow over them. Breathe for 5 to 10 minutes. Use before sleep, during meditation, or when you need to reset.

Your eyes have been open and working since you woke up — screens, streets, faces, the constant read of the room. They’ve earned ten minutes shut. Most people never give it to them. Be the one who does.

Light-Blocking Rest Masks

What they are: Single-use rest masks designed for travel or focused rest.

What they do: Block out light, signaling the brain to enter deeper rest. Useful on planes, in shared spaces, or any time you need to recover quickly.

How to use them: Place over the eyes before sleep or rest. Adjust the strap. Discard after use.

You see yourself clearest with the lights off. Cut the outside world for a minute and what’s left is just you — which was the point.

Crown / Higher Purpose
“I KNOW””

Wisdom · Connection · Meaning

Pocket Mirror

What it is: A small, durable mirror sized to fit in your palm or your pocket.

What it does: Before you can change your life, you must be willing to see yourself clearly. This mirror is here for the daily check-in, the moment of recognition, the practice of speaking life into yourself.

How to use it: Keep it close. When you look, look into your eyes. Speak into your soul. Affirm yourself out loud. A reminder to check in with yourself as often as you check in with the world.

Look into your own eyes and say it — not the quick bathroom glance, the real look. What you

say to your own face becomes what your body believes. This is where the work meets you.

Rosemary Oil

What it is: An aromatic oil from rosemary (Salvia rosmarinus), a Mediterranean evergreen that grows wild along the North African coast — its name means “dew of the sea.” In ancient Egypt, rosemary was laid in the tombs and carried in the funeral rites as the plant of memory, a way of making sure the dead were not forgotten. The Greeks wore it while they studied. For three thousand years it has been the herb you reach for when you need to remember.

What it does: Worked into the scalp, rosemary oil is traditionally used to wake the scalp up, bring shine to the hair, and support fuller, healthier-looking growth over time. It carries natural antioxidants. But its real signature is the scent — sharp, green, clarifying — long tied to focus and a clear head. You smell it and you come back to attention.

How to use it: Warm a few drops between your fingers and work into the scalp in slow circles, starting at the crown. Use the scalp tool if you have it. Once or twice a week, or whenever you want the ritual. Breathe it in while you work — the scent is half of why it’s here.

Rosemary has meant memory for as long as people have written things down. Worked into the crown, slow, with your own hands — it’s a quiet way of saying the mind underneath is worth keeping clear.

Silicone Scalp Massager (Young Leaders)

What it is: A handheld silicone tool designed to massage the scalp.

What it does: Stimulates circulation, helps relieve tension, encourages relaxation, and supports healthy scalp care.

How to use it: Apply rosemary oil or use dry. Move in slow circles across the scalp, paying attention to the crown, the temples, and the base of the skull. Five minutes is plenty.

Rulers got anointed at the crown for a reason. Nobody’s coming to do it for you. Five minutes,

your own hands — call it what it is. You, crowning yourself.
