ABOUT CHEBE

Production

Chebenatsecret produces Chebe Powder in Chad in the Sahel region that covers (Chad, Sudan, North Nigeria and North Cameroon). Dried Lavendar Croton seeds (Chebe Powder) together Mahalaba, Misic, Samough and clove are toasted before grinding with a mortar and pestle. Khumra Perfume oil (Sudan, Niger and local produce) then added to produce the final touch of freshly ground powder.From there the journey of our Chebe Powder begins. It is then trucked down to the port City of Doula in Cameroon where the world has a point of contact through local and international sales.

ChebeNatsecret believes that the pride of a woman is in their crown and would like to make every woman feel beautiful with authentic organic produce where fertilizers are not used in growing.

What is Chebe Plant

The scientific name of the plant which is referred to as ‘Chebe’ is called Croton Zambesicus (Also known as Lavender Croton). It is a shrub and it is actually grown all over Africa, primarily in West Africa, mainly Ghana, Nigeria, Gambia and Burkina Faso. It is found planted in front of houses, mainly in towns and villages and is often used as a medicinal plant. 

Another strain of the plant goes by the name of ‘Croton Gratissimus’ (Lavender Feverberry).  It is found in other tropical African countries like Cameroon, Namibia, Botswana, South Africa, Kenya, Zambia and Zimbabwe (Goes by the name of Gunukira in Shona language). Luckily for those living in Africa, it is everywhere, you just have to learn how to identify it.
