About Us

Hello! Welcome to Obsidian Cosmetics. We understand one thing very clearly, and that is that you want to have radiant, clear skin. You want to enjoy clear, healthy skin and you want to do this without having to bleach your skin or put your health at risk! 

And more than that, you want to reduce the excess oil, fade those dark spots from past breakouts, smoothen that rough bumpy texture, shrink those pores and reduce the rate at your skin breaks out.

Founded in 2015 by Oluwatomiwa Phillips, Obsidian Cosmetics started as a dream to offer skin and hair care products that were perfect for our melanated skin, creating just handmade bar soaps, infused oils and whipped plant butters that did not cause irritation or negative reactions and were readily available and affordable. 
 

It had become exhausting and frustrating to buy the available options then only to find them too drying or to heavy for the skin and that did not involve skin bleaching. To achieve the goal of making effective, melanin friendly skincare and hair care, Tomiwa invested a lot of time, money and energy into gaining the necessary knowledge, skills and qualifications, as well as sourcing the best quality ingredients by partnering with ingredient suppliers who follow high international standards to create these amazing products. Research and Development is a strong backbone of the Obsidian brand.

Obsidian cosmetics has evolved over the years to become this brand that you see and focuses on creating high quality, international standard products, with a minimal irritancy profile (we aim for gentle and effective skincare and hair care) that targets the problems experienced by individuals with oily acne prone skin as well as kinky and curly hair.

The products you will find here are carefully crafted with hours, days and even years of research and testing, using high quality, pure ingredients sourced from ethical suppliers to ensure safety and effectiveness, blended together in skin safe and non-irritating combinations and being available to answer your questions and provide support thus giving you value for your money.

This is how I help you achieve radiant, supple, healthy oily skin.
