Our Story
Originating from a childhood fascination with skincare, Original Manna has blossomed into an all-natural and vegan-friendly wellness company dedicated to crafting simple yet effective skincare and wellness products.
Our name, “Original Manna”, draws inspiration from the heavenly nourishment that sustained the Israelites during their desert journey. Much like this God-given gift of divine nourishment, we strive to be a source of sustenance and healing for our customers.
Influenced by a rich tapestry of African wellness traditions and global health practices, we aim to foster a deeper connection between individuals and the bodies that support and house them. Our hope is to support the emergence of a world where individuals are better attune to themselves and can better understand and act on bodily signals and environmental cues to tend to their needs.
Our Vision
At Original Manna, our vision is to foster a world where everyone is made known the profound love and care of God through our God-given health, richly endowed for us in the Earth.
Our vision also extends to a world where natural-based practices are the cornerstone and standard for healthcare. A world where the gap between us and nature, especially the disconnect between us and our own bodies, is remediated.
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide you with a range of wellness products that are gentle, natural, simple, and effective in addressing various health and wellness challenges.
Beyond this, we are committed to sharing ancestral knowledge and wellness practices to raise awareness and give you the tools to restore your God-given health through the wealth of nature-based solutions seeded and offered to us by our planet’s flora.
Our Values
Gentle
We believe genuine skin care is gentle skincare. We do not use harsh chemicals or skin irritants. At Original Manna, our products are 100% cruelty-free and entirely plant-based.
Natural
Our “Nature is Wealth” philosophy is at the core of our work. We are deeply passionate about crafting each product with pure, organic ingredients and harnessing the power of plants.
Simple
Less is more in skincare. Our products champion simplicity, avoiding unnecessary additives and chemicals while delivering effective results individually and as part of your routine.
Our Founder
Angel Adu
Angel Adu is a Canadian multi-disciplinary artist, nature advocate and the founder of Original Manna. Behind her passion for natural health and medicine are her Christian Faith, Ghanaian-Jamaican heritage & her love for natural and effective wellness remedies. In her spare time, she enjoys reading, writing, journaling and immersing herself in National Geographic documentaries.
First acquainted with the world of wellness through natural skincare remedies at the age of 10, Adu has – for more than a decade now – gone on to both perfect and refine her products and craft, ensuring a cohesive product line featuring gentle, natural, simple and effective products. Today, what began as a 10-year-old’s small seed of interest in natural skincare remedies has now blossomed into an all-natural wellness, skin and healthcare company.
“As a firm believer in a loving and purposeful Creator, I am deeply convinced that our well-being is intricately woven into the fabric of nature. My mission is thereby to unveil those simple yet powerful wellness solutions which God has already designed for us, empowering individuals to reclaim their innate health without compromising or exchanging one set of health issues for another.”
