Our Partnership with the Baobab Foundation
Empowering Women. Educating Children. Protecting Baobabs.
At SKOON., our purpose extends beyond skincare — we are committed to leaving a positive, lasting impact on the communities connected to our ingredients. This is why we proudly support the Baobab Foundation in South Africa’s Limpopo Province, an initiative focused on uplifting rural women, nurturing early childhood development and protecting the ancient baobab tree.
As part of our commitment to 1% for the Planet, SKOON. donates 1% of every online order directly to the Baobab Foundation. Every customer purchase contributes to real change on the ground.

Supporting Women Harvesters & Their Communities
The Baobab Foundation works alongside the community of baobab growers — mainly women who sustain their households through wild-harvesting. Beyond financial support, the Foundation helps secure the future of this iconic African species by planting new baobab trees each year, ensuring environmental resilience and long-term income opportunities.

Investing in Early Childhood Development
Investing in Early Childhood Development One of the Foundation’s most impactful initiatives is the Pre-school Program, which identifies under-resourced early learning centres in the villages where harvesters live. In many of these rural communities, women spend long days working in the fields, collecting water or trading goods — often far from home. As a result, informal pre-schools are formed by local caregivers, yet most lack essential resources such as toys, books, fenced play areas or warm, clean indoor spaces.
SKOON.’s 2025 Contribution & Impact
In 2025, SKOON.’s donations directly supported improvements in these community pre-schools. Through our 1% online sales contribution, we helped supply:
- Educational toys that promote sensory development and learning through play
- Early learning books to support literacy, storytelling and cognitive growth
- Training materials for teachers, empowering caregivers with practical tools for early childhood development
- Infrastructure upgrades, including safer flooring, secure fencing, shade structures and improved indoor play areas
These contributions have enhanced the safety, comfort and educational outcomes for young children while giving mothers the reassurance that their little ones are cared for in a nurturing environment during the workday.

When you choose SKOON., you’re not only caring for your skin — you’re helping women strengthen their livelihoods, supporting early education in rural communities and protecting Africa’s iconic baobab landscapes for generations to come.
