About Connessence
Connessence was created from a belief that care should feel sincere, grounding, and rooted—not rushed, performative, or disposable.
It is an offering of nourishment for the body, made with intention and respect for where care begins.
For centuries, shea butter has been used throughout West Africa as more than a beauty ingredient. It has been food, medicine, skin protection, and a form of everyday care crafted and passed down by women whose knowledge lived in their hands. That lineage of care is not symbolic. It is living, practical, and enduring.
Connessence exists in quiet acknowledgment of that tradition.
Meet the Founder
I’m Constance, the hands and heart behind Connessence.
After many years working in addiction counseling, pouring care outward every day, I reached a point where I realized I missed something essential: the expressive, creative part of myself that once felt most alive. The child who painted freely, invented games on the fly, and found joy simply by making things.
That longing sparked a creative return. One that required me to face insecurity, move through procrastination, and commit, not just to creating, but to staying present with the process.
What emerged was Connessence Whipped Shea Butter.
Hand-made with Care
Crafting has always been my true love. Making with my hands places me in a calm, grounded state that restores balance and brings me peace. I work slowly, intentionally, and with care, because the process matters as much as the outcome.
Every jar I create carries that same sense of steadiness and sincerity. Not perfection. Not excess. Just care.
THE PROMISE
Connessence is for those who want their self-care to feel honest, nourishing, and rooted in something real.
The body remembers kindness.
And this is an invitation to return to it.
