Brand overview

Ovelly Essentials is a Nigerian-based brand founded by Omole Olubukola Oluwakemi. The message Ovelly Essentials seeks to deliver is that African skin and that of women of colour is beautiful, and that you only need the right care to make it flourish. Ovelly’s range of products is made from high-quality and responsibly-sourced natural ingredients and includes face and body lotions, body oil blends, body scrubs, face masks, lip balms and soaps. Ovelly products speak of effectiveness, quality and finesse, and give African women the skin of their dreams, one woman at a time.

Formula Botanica taught founder Omole Olubukola Oluwakemi not only the principles of natural cosmetics’ formulation, but also about the practical and regulatory side of indie beauty such as branding, testing and more. Omole credits Formula Botanica with teaching her how to approach formulating professionally and with giving her the global perspective to help shape Ovelly into the unique brand it is today.
