Eleve (pronounced el-eh-vay) Essentials began in 2015 in a Lagos kitchen, when I was looking for something gentle enough for my husband’s sensitive skin and soothing enough for my young daughter. One handmade coconut milk bar finally brought him relief and turned a small, practical solution into something I couldn’t let go of.

Today, from our studio in Calgary, we make coconut milk soaps, botanical-infused oils, whipped body soufflés, and gift sets for women who carry a lot and still deserve softness. Everything is made for real life; quick showers, late nights, and the kind of everyday care that makes long days and cold weather easier on the skin.

What makes Eleve different?

Coconut milk at the centre

Every formula is built around coconut milk for a creamy, soothing lather that supports skin, especially in dry, cold conditions.

Made to be gifted and actually used

From simple wraps to thoughtfully arranged boxes, our products are meant to be opened, enjoyed, and finished by friends, clients, teams and the women you think of when you want to send something thoughtful.

Care that came before the business

Long before Eleve, care showed up through community work in Nigeria, including Pad a Girl and A Bar for A Bar. Giving has always been part of the work, not an add-on.

Eleve Essentials is a reminder that even when you are tired and stretched, your comfort still matters.
