Yaya Butter Bar: A Woman-Owned Business Built to Thrive

Yaya Butter Bar is a proudly woman-owned skincare brand, rooted in culture, care, and hustle. Built by a team of creative women committed to nourishing melanated, Indigenous, and sensitive skin, the brand delivers handcrafted products made with real ingredients like shea, turmeric, hibiscus, and plant-based oils. It's more than skincare—it's self-love in a jar.

Women entrepreneurs often build from the ground up—bootstrapping, multi-tasking, and making it work with what’s available. That’s exactly how Yaya Butter Bar continues to grow. Every step—from our kitchen beginnings to pop-up markets to our expanding online presence—has been a result of consistency, community, and creativity.

Scaling a micro business as women means learning how to move with strategy and spirit. Every sale, every returning customer, and every late-night batch of whipped butter reflects the grind behind the glow. While challenges come with the territory—limited resources, limited rest—we keep showing up.

What keeps this brand rising is belief: belief in the product, belief in the mission, and belief in the women behind the work. We’ve seen our skincare change routines and boost confidence. We’ve watched community form around the love of natural, handmade body care that honors our skin and stories.

Yaya Butter Bar represents what happens when women combine hustle with healing. This isn’t just about business—it’s about legacy, representation, and building something real that can’t be duplicated.
