About Oyin Handmade

Since 2003, Oyin Handmade has been creating moisture-rich hair and body care that celebrates the natural beauty of curls, coils, locs, and textured hair. Founded by Jamyla Bennu during the early years of the natural hair movement, the family-owned, Black-owned brand has become a trusted name for handcrafted formulations made with food-grade and naturally derived ingredients that prioritize healthy, hydrated hair and skin. The name "Oyin," the Yoruba word for honey, reflects the brand's commitment to sweetness, nourishment, and joyful self-care. 

For more than two decades, Oyin Handmade has remained dedicated to small-batch craftsmanship, creating products that help customers embrace their natural texture while making moisture the foundation of every routine.

Whether you're maintaining curls, coils, locs, or protective styles, Oyin Handmade offers products designed to nourish, soften, and celebrate every unique texture.
