About Us

Our Story
Máadán is an African skincare brand dedicated to total well-being, reimagining GLOW as an inner experience. Our name is inspired by the Yoruba term “Adúmáradán,” which translates to “one with dark and shiny skin” or “one who shines through their dark complexion.” In essence, it means “Keep shining.
”Our mission is to curate with soul, creativity, and love. We were born out of a passion for creating products tailored to the needs of melanin-rich skin, utilizing potent African botanicals and ingredients while drawing inspiration from ancestral African rituals.
Máadán is for everyone seeking a moment to slow down, experience bliss, and connect with the universe through simple pleasures and self-care. We invite you on a journey of self-love, body awareness, and mindfulness.
Our collection offers handcrafted, artisanal products for a luxurious yet effortless skincare routine. With pleasure in every step, there are no pressures, no rules – just freedom to pause and create a bubble of intimacy where you connect with yourself.
So, let's embrace our inner radiance.
Adúmáadán mi,
okay, let's brag a little. Keep shining…
