✨ Let Me Introduce Myself
I’m Cindy — a heritage skincare artisan and folk herbalist rooted in the quiet heart of Alberta.
I don’t chase trends.
I honor time.
Every balm, salve, and oil begins with real plants — not extracts, not shortcuts — just wild and homegrown herbs, infused slowly in oil as it’s been done for generations.
This isn’t a pastime or a business trend.
It’s a lineage — a way of life, a remembering.
Each jar carries the patience of the process and the soul of the land it came from.
Every formula is a dialogue between old-world wisdom and modern refinement.
At Okema Designs, we create more than skincare.
We craft heritage in every form — made by hand, guided by heart, and rooted in legacy.
If you’re seeking skincare that feels alive — honest, elemental, and elevated —
you’re in the right place.
The story is old.
The craft is timeless.
And we’re only just beginning.
Heritage Story — Final Elevated Edition
Our story begins long before the brand — in the lineage of those who understood the art of making well.
What was once a necessity has become an inheritance of refinement — a dialogue between tradition and design, between the wisdom of time and the precision of today.
Each creation is guided by the same enduring principles: integrity, patience, and purpose.
Five generations forward, we continue not to reinvent, but to perfect — preserving the beauty of what endures.
Whipped Herbal Tallow Creams
Okema Original
Heritage-Luxe Tallow Creams
The signature expression of our house — where enduring heritage meets modern refinement.
Each cream begins with slow-rendered, grass-fed Alberta tallow — blended with plant-based emollients and botanical extracts known for their restorative depth.
The result is a texture of quiet indulgence: weightless, velvety, and enduringly nourishing.
More than skincare — this is heritage perfected.
