Born on the streets of Harlem in 1992, but based on centuries-old traditions, Nubian Heritage has been guided by the legacy of ancient Nubia, the world’s first melting pot. We bring together cultural wisdom and indigenous ingredients to create modern wellness solutions for skin and hair. Our mission is to make cultural exchange the model for transforming the global community and personal care

Humble Beginnings

Nubian Heritage is the brainchild of two New York street vendors. In 1992, fresh out of college and without jobs, Rich and Nyema embarked on a mission to produce luxurious natural products from traditional African recipes with fair trade ingredients. Today Nubian Heritage offers culturally authentic natural products inspired by global ancient healing philosophies. Although Nubian Heritage products are no longer made in bath tubs, little else has changed; the company still makes its own products, still uses fair trade ingredients and still invests in community commerce.

Heritage

Lavender’s use as a versatile botanical essence dates back to ancient times. First cultivated by the Arabians, it is thought to have spread across Europe from the Greek Hyeres Islands. Egyptians, Phoenicians and the people of Arabia valued Lavender for its treasured fragrance and remarkable rejuvenating and soothing properties.
