OUR PASSION
Where Beauty Meets Luxury
At Bluffajo, our profound passion revolves around empowering women to fully embrace their true selves. We are not just a cosmetic brand; we are a holistic, family-owned boutique that believes in the power of self-acceptance and self-expression. Bluffajo's remarkable journey began with a single mother, her young son, and a vision to make a difference. With humble beginnings, we initiated our venture by selling raffle tickets to fund our cosmetics line, starting with just four products.
In addition to our commitment to crafting exceptional cosmetics, we are dedicated to sourcing materials in alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) sustainability business model. This commitment reflects our desire to create beauty products that are environmentally responsible and socially conscious.
The name "Bluffajo" finds its roots in the rich culture of Liberia, West Africa, where it is used to describe individuals who exude sensuality, sophistication, and cosmopolitan flair while embracing both inner and outer beauty. Although rooted in Liberian culture, the spirit of a Bluffajo transcends cultural boundaries, resonating with women around the world.
Our dedication extends beyond cosmetics. I actively engage with and motivate young mothers through speeches and discussions, fostering inspiration and empowerment as they navigate the challenges of motherhood and pursue their aspirations.
