How It Works
The harshest island sun made the most glowing skin on earth.
Black women on the islands take year-round sun and salt air, and still never look ashy or dry. Their secret was never a lab — it was black seed oil and island botanicals, passed down for generations.
-
Erases Ash On Contact
Black skin is naturally drier, so lotion sits on top and rubs off within the hour. Black seed oil is light and sinks in, so the grey, ashy layer is gone the moment it touches your skin.
-
Fades Dark Spots
Kojic acid, turmeric and vitamin C work on the dark spots and hyperpigmentation underneath, so your tone looks more even week after week.
-
Seals The Moisture In
Lotion is mostly water and evaporates. Oil seals the water in — coconut, avocado and papaya seed hold the hydration all day, so your skin stays glazed, not tight.
-
Turns Heads
The scent is inspired by Baccarat Rouge 540 with warm Caribbean vanilla. The glow catches the eye and the scent makes people lean in — strangers notice, and your partner will too.
-
Instant Island Glow
Ashy skin is dry skin. The oil melts in and leaves a soft glaze — not glitter, not greasy, a real island glow from skin that's finally fed.
35 women. 60 days.
Dermatologists Stunned by Results In

The Story Behind Shimma
Hi, I’m Simone.
I am 48 years old. But where my family is from, women don't fight their skin the way the beauty industry wants you to. They glow.
My family is from the Bahamas, with roots all over the Caribbean. Long before twelve-step routines, the women in my family oiled their skin every single day with what the islands grew. Not lotion, not chemicals shipped in from America — black seed oil, papaya seed, coconut and avocado. Oils made for melanin-rich skin, passed down by every grandmother on the island.
There is a reason Caribbean women are known for glowing, even skin under the harshest sun. Modern lotions are mostly water that evaporates in minutes, leaving Black skin grey and starved. Our island oils do the exact opposite. Black seed sinks in deep, coconut and avocado seal the moisture in all day, and kojic acid, turmeric and vitamin C fade the dark spots underneath — so your tone looks even and your skin stays glazed, never ashy.
Then I moved to the US. Years later I found myself in the body-care aisle, reading the backs of expensive bottles: water, mineral oil, synthetic fragrance, and a chemistry degree's worth of fillers. My skin went grey and ashy an hour after every one of them. None of it was what my grandmother used. And worse, none of it actually worked on Black skin.
So I set out to recreate my family's ritual. I tried the body butters and cocoa-butter jars everyone raves about. But an hour later the ash was right back, and I knew they were wrong. Most of them were mostly water — thick enough to feel like something, but sitting on top of the skin and rubbing off by noon. Nothing that actually sank in the way my grandmother's oils did. It made me determined.
We didn't just pour some oil in a bottle and call it a product line. We built Shimma to resurrect that exact island ritual, without compromise.
Cold-pressed black seed oil, papaya seed, moringa, coconut and avocado, blended with kojic acid, turmeric and vitamin C for the dark spots underneath — and scented with a Baccarat Rouge 540-inspired blend and warm Caribbean vanilla that turns heads.
Because I know what else is out there, every batch is made with real Caribbean botanicals, not fillers. When you have nothing to hide, you show everything. You never have to take my word for it.
Real island oils. One bottle. Try it for 30 days. Take a before photo. Your skin will tell you the rest.

Why the Caribbean Ritual Is Incredibly Powerful
1. The harshest sun on earth
Year-round island sun and salt air that should burn and dry the skin. For generations Caribbean women had no serums and no dermatologists, and still had the most glowing, even skin anywhere. What they had was oil.
2. Black seed oil was the original glow
Black seed, papaya, coconut and avocado oils pressed onto the skin every single day. Women across Trinidad, the Bahamas and Barbados used them as their only skincare. Not a wellness trend. It is what grandmothers actually did.
3. These oils are made for melanin-rich skin
Black skin is naturally drier, and lotion sits on top and rubs off. Black seed oil is light and sinks in; coconut and avocado hold the moisture all day. Island oils on Black skin is a Caribbean tradition, not a marketing decision.

What Caribbean Grandmothers Knew
Why Caribbean women glow the way they do.
Islands that always knew something about skin
The Caribbean has always been known for glowing, even skin under the harshest sun. Island women oiled their skin long before the rest of the world had a word for it.
Black seed oil, the oil of the islands
Black seed oil came through Trinidad, the Bahamas, Barbados and Guyana as an everyday skin and hair oil. It is the oil of home, and it is in every bottle of Shimma.
Oil, against the sun
Island women used black seed, papaya, coconut and avocado oils as their only skincare against the sun. Not a trend, a habit passed down. Shimma is that habit, done properly.
