Harlem born Makeba Lloyd began blending and mixing essential oils and phthalate-free fragrances with shea butter as a therapeutic hobby only to discover a convenient method of moisturizing and scenting in one easy step.  Inspired by the aromas of open air markets and fragrance houses on her travels through Egypt, Makeba pursued her curiosity and fascination for the fragrance world in the aromatherapy, natural perfumery and perfumery classrooms of the New York Open Center and furthered her education in the classrooms of the Aromatherapy Institute of NY and Pratt Institute.   She realized she had a passion for creating fragrances that people would love.  and so Butter By Keba was born from an innovative idea to create natural, cruelty & paraben free skin care while offering sophisticated fragrance in one product.
