OSHANA - our new healing moisturiser!OSHANA is an African word used to describe a "dry place where hidden waters flow beneath". We thought that this would be a perfect name for our new product.
Many customers who already use our THEMBA skin balm asked us for a moisturiser that they can use on the skin as well. We are very happy that we have formulated this soothing & healing cream.
We recommend that OSHANA be used as a moisturiser between applications of our THEMBA cream as it seems to accelerate the healing.
Visit the OSHANA page for more information and order onlline.
