Our Story
From Plant-Based Milk to Baobab Oil – A Journey of Passion and Purpose Before fully diving into Merci Bao, I embarked on a meaningful journey that shaped my vision: producing fresh, healthy plant-based milk, distributed in Brussels.
This project, driven by a desire to offer a natural and health-conscious alternative, was deeply close to my heart. At the same time, my passion for creativity and storytelling led me to produce videos, particularly during my frequent trips to Senegal. It was there, while capturing inspiring stories – like that of a woman entrepreneur crafting upcycled clothing or exploring the historic Gorée Island, Toubakouta Area, Tambacounda – that I reconnected with my love for nature and its healing power. However, during that period, I was going through a challenging time: the stress of university life had triggered eczema.
It was in Senegal, witnessing the profound impact of natural resources on the body, that I had a revelation. I discovered the exceptional benefits of baobab oil, an ancestral treasure with regenerative and protective properties. From this experience, Merci Bao was born – a brand that embodies my commitment to natural beauty, skin health, and environmental respect.
But the journey doesn’t stop there: with Merci Bao, I aim to blend creativity and impact. Whether it’s through producing our oils, creating inspiring video content, or even fostering community through sports with our Bao Running Club (a small running club launched less than a year ago), the goal is to build a community around strong values: well-being, nature, and connection. 
Today, Merci Bao is more than just a skincare brand. It’s a story of passion, resilience, and reconnecting with nature. A story that continues to unfold, with you.
Our Approach
Starting with baobab oil, our mission has grown to champion a wide range of natural ingredients and cosmetics. Working directly with local producers, we launch impactful projects like the Zero Waste Project School, which organizes weekly cleanups in Dakar to foster sustainable habits from a young age.

“Empowering Through Luxurious African Ingredients and Sustainability.”
