Educating the Black community about Benefits of Vegan, Organic and Natural Products

BY PAUL JUNOR

Leonica Douglas has established herself as a multi-talented and multi-dimensional individual. As an actress, producer and director she has starred in Homeless in America (2018): Signed, Sealed and Delivered. It features the story of two girls who traveled from Jamaica to America for an internship. It shows the ups and downs that they have to endure during their time in the United States.

Leonica started Leonica Cosmetics after traveling to Egypt. She wrote in a Facebook post on December 12th, 2021 that, ”I created this company because I was having a hard time finding a product that met my needs. After a series of disappointments with companies’ low-quality ingredients and cheap packaging choices, I had enough. My frustration led to the creation of Leonica Cosmetics.”

It was her trip to Egypt that enabled her to acquire vital knowledge and information that increased her understanding of the role that Kemites played in the development of cosmetics. She states, ”The Kemites kept their hair and skin cleaned and rejuvenated with their handmade, holistic fragrances, oils, and butter. As a token of appreciation, the Leonica Cosmetics logo pays homage to these founders of cosmetics.”

Leonica is specific to the mission of Leonica Cosmetics, which is “To place the same level of pride in our creations as the Kemites.” There are three features that make Leonica Cosmetics stand out. They include the following:

• handpicking holistic ingredients after in-depth research on their quality, benefits and uses.
• glass packaging exemplifies quality and our commitment to sustainability.
• products will not only refine and nourish your body but also leave you feeling like a better version of yourself, inside and out

The official launch was on January 4th, 2021. Leonicacosmetics.com is an online store for the organic holistic products it sells. There is free shipping on orders that are $75 or more. The products include: holistic body butter, couple bundle (two 4-oz holistic body butter), organic African Black soap, Egyptian loofah soap, glow bundle, shower essential bundle and dewy skin bundle.

Holistic body butter is made with organic ingredients, is vegan, and goes through cruelty-free processing. The organic black soap has four simple ingredients; plantain skin, cocoa leaf, Shea butter and palm oil. It can be used as a shampoo and can be used to treat acne-prone skin and eczema.

There are many testimonials that are posted on its Facebook page from satisfied customers. It is one of the most amazing moisturizer that I have used. I have extremely dry hands, and feet, which get worse during the winter. A tiny amount of body butter keeps my hands and feet moisturized for a very long time! And it smells divine!”
