PRINCESS MANGY-NKOLI, HOUSE OF NKOLI - FOUNDER/CREATOR/CEO

HOUSE OF NKOLI is the liberation and love of oneself. It’s accepting you for who you are as a complete person from the inside out. H.O.N is a lifestyle and a movement of love, because if you love yourself, all other things fall into place --your skin gets healthier, blemishes go away, you look regale in your dress. Who you are and what you embody is HOUSE of NKOLI – it’s a feeling, a movement, it makes you feel really good about yourself. That’s what HOUSE of NKOLI is!

NKOLI SKIN FOOD (NSF): A natural, handmade skin and full body care product line for Men and Women. The products are all made with the specific intention and purpose of nourishing, healing, grooming, toning, revitalizing, restoring, softening, and conditioning the skin with therapeutic herbal ingredients made with skin essentials – plant medicine, specific natural skin food remedies, recipes, and ingredients told, taught to me from my Nigerian ancestors. I spent years researching natural ingredients to combine and make products that met her standards. NSF consists of 2 distinctive natural skin and full body care product line types: the shelf product line and {our upcoming}raw, fresh-live, custom blend, made to order line that requires refrigeration – called {“EARTH, BREATHE, RAW, FRESH SKIN ESSENTIALS”}.

Nkoli Skin Food uses ingredients found in nature like natural and essential oils, fruits, nuts, cornmeal, goat’s milk, herbal teas, coconut oil, mango butter, essential and natural oils, chocolate, lemon, orange, grapefruit, tangerine, avocado, aloe vera, shea butter and palm oil. We have found what works best for keeping skin naturally fresh, glowing, rejuvenated, enhanced, and healthy.

All of the Nkoli Skin Food products lines were inspirationally named; specifically, and intentionally curated with ingredients, and recipes that I was inspired to create for target specific reasons. E.g. My men’ product line Prince-Hassan: Midnite line was named after my eldest and dear brother Prince-Hassan, who was very meticulous about his skin, and took daily care and attention to his skin presentation. I thought solely of him in creating that line with ingredients to modulate the skin, help eradicate razor bumps, and give the skin a clean polished finish. With Rebirth & Renew: African Peppermint-Palm product line, it was a created and curated as a direct and intentional acknowledgment and homage to my Nigerian heritage culture. Peppermint is a natural healer, anti-inflammatory, and revitalizer; that is also used in lots of African foods. Palm Oil is a super skin conditioner and softener, that’s also a key and staple ingredient in lots of delicious Nigerian soups!

NKOLI: Now that you are feeling good on the inside, you’ll want that to show up on the outside. What makes fashion amazing, what makes any designer, or design amazing is really not the clothes or the style – it’s the person who is wearing it, adorning it. Think about fashion as an extension of your health, your glow, your majestic being. NKOLI is a collection of unique fashion accessories including one-of-a-kind beautifully designed chokers with matching 1-arm, upper armband sets, that were sentimentally, specifically designed, and inspirationally named after my beloved family members.  NKOLI accessories can be worn day or night, dressed up or dressed down – they stand out as statement pieces that empower you to be your own “personal walking billboard”; because it’s what you feel on the inside that defines how the accessories are expressed. The person who wears NKOLI accessories embodies the values of individual divinity and beauty that HON represents. The person who wears NKOLI embodies their authentic person, for we believe you are royal and are of value.

THE HOUSE OF NKOLI’S LIFESTYLE BRAND PREMISE is to mesmerize, cater, and accentuate you, with a full body experience via skincare and attire.  I am Mangy-Nkoli, this is who I am: I am purposeful, I am magical, and I recognize that you have the same attributes I have – so here is my offering to you!

*** My soul source: It is extremely important for me to also convey and note more than anything else; that I am lovingly, carefully, and steadfastly carrying, and steering this brand to be a true, earnest, and upright legacy brand that is a full homage to both of my beloved, greatest family supporters, and my initial and still current brand inspirations - who are now together in heaven - my mom Dora Lee and my eldest brother Prince-Hassan. Because I still supernaturally feel them with me - and know they are still counting on me.
