White Secret cleansing beauty bar, used in daily skin-tone-evening routines. It cleanses the face and body while added conditioning agents help skin feel soft rather than tight. Lather, leave on the skin briefly, then rinse and follow with a moisturiser. For external use only; do a patch test first, keep away from the eyes, stop use if irritation occurs, and use sun protection during the day. See pack for net weight.
White Secret body oil, used to moisturise the skin and help even skin tone as part of a brightening routine. Massage a few drops into damp skin after showering, or add to body lotion. For external use only; patch-test before first use, keep away from the eyes, discontinue if irritation occurs, and wear sun protection during the day. See bottle for net volume.
White Secret body cream — a daily moisturiser marketed to help brighten and even skin tone, with visible-results messaging on the tub. Apply a thin layer to clean skin morning and evening. For external use only; patch-test before first use, follow the label, keep away from the eyes, stop use if the skin becomes irritated, and use sun protection during the day. See tub for net weight.
Fufu flour for making the classic West and Central African swallow at home, without the pounding. Pour into hot water and stir continuously, then knead over low heat for a few minutes to a smooth, stretchy dough. Serve hot in balls alongside egusi, okra, ogbono, groundnut or pepper soup, or with vegetable and meat stews. A pantry essential for anyone who grew up on fufu, eba or pounded yam; naturally gluten-free. See pack for net weight and exact preparation ratio.
Pilau masala is the warm Swahili-coast spice blend — typically cumin, coriander, black pepper, cardamom, cloves and cinnamon — that gives pilau rice its aroma. Fry it with onions, garlic, ginger and meat before adding the rice and stock, so the spices bloom in the oil. It also lifts beef and goat stew, biryani, roast potatoes and marinades. See pack for net weight; keep the jar closed and away from heat to hold the aroma.
Agashya is one of Rwanda's best-known fruit drinks, made by Sina Gérard's Enterprise Urwibutso (the company behind Akabanga) at Nyirangarama. It is a thick fruit squash concentrate — passion fruit is the signature flavour — that you dilute with cold water, roughly one part squash to four or five parts water, to taste. Serve chilled over ice as an everyday soft drink, mix into fruit punch, or use as a base for cocktails and mocktails. Shake before use and refrigerate once opened. See bottle for net volume.

Akabanga is Rwanda's famous chili oil, created by entrepreneur Sina Gérard in 1983 and now made on a large scale near Nyirangarama. The name means "little secret" in Kinyarwanda. It is a fiery infusion of Scotch Bonnet and habanero peppers in oil, sold in a small dropper bottle because a drop or two is all you need — add it to beans, brochettes, grilled fish and meat, chips, eggs, soup, isombe or matoke. Extremely hot: start with one drop and build up. A little bottle lasts a long time.
Chicken masala is a balanced curry-style blend — coriander, cumin, turmeric, chilli, ginger, garlic and warm spices — for chicken stew, curry, marinades and roast rubs. Rub it onto chicken pieces with oil and salt before frying or grilling, or fry it in the base of a tomato-and-onion sauce. It works equally well with fish, beans and vegetables. See pack for net weight; store sealed and dry.
Rubee hand and body lotion — a light, everyday moisturiser that absorbs quickly and leaves hands and skin soft rather than greasy. Use it after washing your hands, after a shower, and any time skin feels dry. Suitable for the whole family. For external use; see pack for net volume.
Fair & White is a French skincare brand (Labo Derma, Paris) that formulates for melanin-rich skin, with its "So White" body-lotion range in production for over 15 years and made in France. This moisturising lotion hydrates the skin and is marketed to help even skin tone with daily use. Apply to clean skin morning and night. For external use only; patch-test before first use, avoid the eye area, and wear sun protection during the day. Typically sold as a 500 ml bottle.
Apetamin is a syrup that combines cyproheptadine hydrochloride — a strong antihistamine — with the amino acid lysine and several B vitamins. Cyproheptadine blocks serotonin receptors that normally suppress hunger, so it is widely marketed as an appetite stimulant and weight-gain aid. It commonly causes drowsiness and can have other side effects, is made overseas (for example by TIL Healthcare), and is NOT approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration; it is a prescription-only medicine in several countries. Read the label in full and speak to a pharmacist or doctor before use. Do not exceed the stated dose. Keep out of reach of children.
Nana Herbal Mouth Wash is an all-natural liquid oral rinse made in Uganda by Nana Herbal Products U Ltd, in a 60 ml bottle with a green label and cap. It is alcohol-free and made without harsh synthetic chemicals, and is traditionally used to freshen breath and support everyday oral hygiene — the maker markets it for bad breath, sensitive teeth, and sore or bleeding gums, with a formula intended to act on oral bacteria and inflammation and help reduce plaque. Swish a small amount around the mouth after brushing, then spit out; do not swallow. This is a herbal hygiene product, not a substitute for dental treatment — see a dentist for persistent tooth or gum problems. Keep out of reach of young children.
