Founded by Suzan, an Army Veteran and a proud South Sudanese/ Sudanese American, with a mission to share with the world her ancient naturally sourced skin and hair care ingredients, and beautification secrets that has been passed down to through the ages.

 Kandaka Safia was born from ten-thousand-year-old skin rituals that helped our founder clear her postnatal hormonal acne. She used her science background to create products using the original ingredients as well as modernized versions without taking away from the extraordinary healing and rejuvenating properties.

 Kandaka Safia translates to Pure Queen. Kandaka is the title used for queens in the ancient kingdom of Kush. Kushite kings ruled as Pharaohs of Sudan and Egypt for a century during which women often ruled and led their nations' wars as warriors and Kushite Kandakas.
