Byotè was founded by Violet Addy in 2020 and was born from a simple, personal beginning—making homemade lip balms

Violet says..

“I became more intentional about the quality of ingredients I used, so I turned to trusted natural oils, often sourcing them from Amazon.

However, during the lockdown, access to these products became limited. That moment sparked my curiosity, how could I create the same high-quality, undiluted oils myself?

I began learning how natural oils are sourced, processed, and formulated for real results. That was how Byotè was formed.”

To bring this vision to life, we started sourcing seeds from local farmers in the northern part of Nigeria, pressing the oils ourselves using an oil press machine, and carefully bottling each one.

Byote began with natural oils like almond, coconut, moringa, and baobab, built through hands-on experimentation and a commitment to transparency.

As we explored the benefits of pure, undiluted oils, we went further—creating blends designed to address specific concerns. Through continued research, we also discovered the power of herbs in targeting even more focused needs.

What started as a personal solution has grown into a brand committed to thoughtful, natural care
