In Safou: A Gift From Nature, KOBA founder Therese M’Boungoubaya reflects on her journey to the Republic of Congo, where she reconnected with the roots of safou, the hero ingredient at the heart of the brand. The article explores safou’s role in local communities, the artisanal production of the oil, and the responsibility that comes with working so closely with land, people, and heritage. It also shares reflections from intimate documentary screenings held in London and New York.
