COSIBA connects rural farmers and cooperatives sourcing raw agricultural ingredients — shea, moringa, cocoa butter, coconut oil — with pharmaceutical and cosmetic buyers in Europe who need traceable, certified supply.
What we source
We're building relationships around a small number of ingredients with proven demand in the EU cosmetics and pharmaceutical market — not spreading thin across everything at once.
Cosmetic and pharma grade, sourced from West and East Africa.
Cold-pressed seed oil for skincare and wellbeing formulations.
Deodorised, pharma-grade butter sourced from South America.
Virgin, cold-pressed oil for cosmetic applications.
Where we work
Shea butter cooperatives across the shea belt — our primary sourcing focus for 2026.
Moringa oil and other seed oils from smallholder and cooperative growers.
Cocoa butter sourcing, with an emphasis on fair, direct farmer relationships.
Coconut oil sourcing from established cooperative networks.
How it works
This is the process we're building COSIBA around — one traceable path for every batch, so both farmer and buyer can see exactly where it stands.
Founder
Olufunke holds a BSc and MSc in Agricultural Economics, and is completing a second Master's at Wageningen University in Management, Economics and Consumer Studies. She brings hands-on B2B and B2C agricultural trading experience from West Africa, and founded COSIBA to build a direct, transparent trade route between the farmers she grew up around and the European companies that need what they grow. The name COSIBA comes from her own middle names — chosen because it's simple, memorable, and easy to say in any language.
Our commitment
Every ingredient we bring to market will carry a Certificate of Analysis before it reaches a buyer.
We assess every farm and cooperative in person before working with them — traceability, hygiene, and fair payment come first.
We're building toward EU Cosmetics Regulation (EC) 1223/2009 compliance from day one, not retrofitting it later.
Farmers are paid fairly and consistently — no side deals outside the relationship COSIBA manages.
