Our Story
Aromatherapy Born in Harlem, Made for You
Black woman-owned | Organic ingredients | Phthalate-free | Small batch
The Origin Story
Butter By Keba was born from a passion for aromatherapy and a commitment to clean, effective beauty. Founded by Keba in the heart of Harlem, our brand represents the intersection of traditional wellness practices, modern clean beauty standards, and the rich cultural heritage of our community.
Every product we create is a reflection of our belief that what you put on your skin matters — not just for how it makes you feel in the moment, but for your long-term health and well-being. That's why we've built our entire brand on transparency, quality, and the therapeutic power of organic aromatherapy.
Our Values

We believe what you put on your skin matters. That's why every product is:
- Formulated with certified organic essential oils
- 100% phthalate-free (no synthetic fixatives)
- Free from parabens, sulfates, and toxins
- Not on California Prop 65 harmful chemicals list
- Vegan and cruelty-free
🔬 Aromatherapy Expertise
Our fragrances aren't just pretty scents — they're functional. Using our proprietary Scentonomy Digital Aromatherapy Algorithm, we blend essential oils based on their therapeutic properties to support specific moods and wellness goals. Each blend is carefully crafted to deliver both sensory pleasure and aromatherapeutic benefits.
🏙️ Harlem Heritage
Born and made in Harlem, NYC. We're proud to represent our community and craft every batch with the artisanal care and cultural richness that defines Harlem. Our neighborhood's legacy of creativity, resilience, and excellence inspires everything we do.
💜 Woman-Owned
As a woman entrepreneur, I created Butter By Keba to offer luxurious, effective scented body care that honors both traditional wellness practices and modern clean beauty standards. Supporting our brand means supporting woman owned entrepreneurship and the vision of creating products that truly serve our community.
✨ Small-Batch Quality
We don't mass-produce. Every product is carefully formulated, tested, and crafted in small batches to ensure the highest quality and potency. This artisanal approach means you're getting the freshest, most effective aromatherapy products possible.
