How It Works
The Caribbean secret to irresistible glowing skin
Women from these islands have used these powerful botanicals like Black seed oil for generations.
1
Erases Ash Instantly
Black skin is naturally drier, so lotions just sit on top. Black seed oil sinks deep, melting away the grey, ashy layer on contact.
2
Fades Dark Spots
Vitamin C-rich guava seed oil targets dark spots and discoloration, so your tone looks even and bright week after week.
3
Smooths & Hydrates
Papaya seed oil gently exfoliates dead skin, smoothing rough, textured patches on your elbows and knees.
4
Intoxicating Pheromone Scent
Saffron and sweet amber melt into your skin for an irresistible scent that turns heads and makes him obsessed.
5
Repairs & Restores Your Glow
Tamanu oil helps repair and soothe your skin, softening the look of scars and stretch marks for a soft, glazed finish.
What you should expect from using shimma daily
Week 1
Instant glow from the very first use, and the ashiness is covered on contact.
Week 2
Dryness stops coming back. Skin feels softer every day and the ashiness is far less noticeable.
Week 3-4
Your tone starts to even out as the dry, dull patches soften and stop catching the light differently.
Week 5-6
Even, nourished, healthy-looking skin with a natural glow — even before you put the oil on.
Most women see the glow from the very first use. The softness and even-looking tone build over the weeks that follow — that's how real hydration works. Your 90-day money-back guarantee means you can see it on your own skin, risk-free.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. It's a simple blend of nourishing oils with just a light touch of fragrance, and nothing harsh in it. It's made for deeper skin, which can be more reactive, so we kept the formula short and gentle. As with any new product, patch test a small area first if your skin reacts easily.
No. It's formulated with black seed oil, which absorbs into thicker, drier skin instead of sitting on top. Give it a minute to sink in and you'll be left with a soft glow, not a slick film. You can get dressed straight after without worrying about oily marks on your clothes.
While our ingredients are natural and safe, this formula is uniquely built for the body. It provides the deep, heavy-duty hydration needed to stop ashiness and hyperpigmentation. We recommend using our dedicated facial skincare products for your face instead.
Straight away. The ashiness goes the moment you put it on, and your skin stays hydrated through the day instead of going tight and grey by the afternoon. Over the first month of using it daily, most women find they stop having ashy days altogether. Your skin makes less of its own oil as it matures, so you're replacing what it isn't making anymore. Keep it up and your skin stays there.

Customer Reviews

I don’t know. I had high hopes that this would cover my scar and NOT come off on my clothes. This was the first time I tried it and it didn’t work as advertised. It’s disappointing
It’s perfect for touching up random bruises, minor scars, or any unevenness on my legs right before heading out. Takes 30 seconds to blend, looks completely seamless, and literally doesn't budge or stain my clothes. A+ for night-out fits!!
I have plenty of weddings, family gatherings, and evening events where I love dressing up, I'm 57 but my legs have made me hesitate for years. Between noticeable varicose veins and a few old scars, I was constantly opting for full-length gowns or thick tights. Shimma has completely changed that for me. It smooths on effortlessly over my veins and completely blurs out my scars without looking cakey. It sets quickly too
I still love wearing dresses even through the winter, but my legs and knees get so ridiculously dry and ashy in the colder weather. Shimma is an absolute game-changer! The results are so fast and quick, it takes literally less than a minute to apply and immediately erases all the ashiness, leaving my skin super smooth, even, and radiant. It dries down fast with zero transfer onto my clothes.
Incredible coverage and beautiful packaging! The packaging feels so high-end and luxurious. It completely transformed my legs by effortlessly bluring dark areas and evening out my skin tone with just a small amount. It blends smoothly without looking cakey or feeling heavy.
At 51, I had pretty much surrendered to wearing full-length linen pants through the heat of summer. After decades of standing on my feet, my legs developed noticeable varicose veins, spider veins, and uneven dark discoloration around my knees and calves. I avoided shorts, skirts, and swimwear for years. I tried self-tanners (which somehow made the purple veins look darker) and heavy body foundations that felt like thick spackle and ended up transferring onto my car seats, clothes, and furniture.
I decided to try Shimma after seeing how seamless the coverage looked, and I am genuinely blown away.
The formula is lightweight, but the pigment payoff is incredible. I squeeze out a small amount and stipple it over my varicose veins using a dense body brush. It doesn't just paint over the skin—it diffuses the deep purple tones and smooths out the visual texture so my legs look even, toned, and naturally radiant. It gives a healthy, hydrated sheen rather than a flat, cakey finish.
I purchased Shimma in cocoa because my legs and arms are covered in dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and uneven patches that have gotten worse over the years. I also got the brush that comes with it you definitely need a good brush to blend and buff it out properly. So far I've worn it on my arms and the lower part of my legs. It was really easy to apply on my arms and buff it out smooth, I waited about 5 minutes for it to set and then got dressed and went out. I was genuinely surprised at how natural it looked and it didn't look like makeup at all, just like my skin on a really good day. It lasted most of the day without transferring which was my biggest concern. My legs took a bit more time, especially around my knees where the darkening is the worst you have to build it up and blend carefully to get that area to match the rest of your leg. But once I got it right the difference was unreal. I'm in my late 40s and between years of shaving bumps, sun damage, and just my skin changing as I get older, my legs have looked patchy and uneven for a long time. I tried brightening creams, exfoliators, even body oils that claim to even your tone nothing actually worked. They'd moisturize but the dark spots were still right there. That's why I switched to this. It doesn't try to change your skin, it just makes everything match and look even. For the really stubborn dark patches on my inner thighs I do a second layer and buff it out and it blends perfectly. I'm on my second bottle now and my sister keeps borrowing it so I need to get her one of her own.
Didn't believe it would work on the dark parts on my legs, but it covered them in seconds and stayed on all day in the heat. Caramel color was a great match.
I've had little scars on my knees for years. One thin layer blended them right in — I wore a dress to church and didn't think about the scars on my legs once. It makes you stop worrying about whats on show
I am 8 months post-partum and my body has changed a lot. I was struggling to feel like myself again, and my old go-to lotions just weren't cutting it. I wanted something that would make me feel beautiful and womanly, not just 'mom.' A friend recommended Shimma, and I am so grateful.
First of all, the bottle is gorgeous it looks like a high-end perfume on my counter. But the product itself is magic. My post-partum skin is much drier, and this oil just drinks it up. It provides intense, all-day hydration that makes my stretch marks and loose skin look minimized and gives me an even-toned, airbrushed finish. I put it on in the morning and when I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror in the harsh afternoon light, I still look GLAZED! It has honestly helped me fall in love with my new body. Putting this on is my daily. This is the truth!
Okay, I never write reviews, but I had to for this. My skin has been so dull and lifeless lately and it gets even worse usually in fall and winter, and honestly, it was affecting my confidence. I felt disconnected from my body and, if I'm being real, from my boyfriend. I bought this on a whim, hoping for a miracle, and it delivered. The moment I applied it after my shower, I literally gasped. It melted into my skin instantly no greasy residue at all and the sheen it gives is unbelievable. It's not glittery it's this rich, deep, healthy-looking glaze that makes me look lit from within. I felt so incredibly good and luxurious..
When my husband got home, he stopped dead in his tracks. He couldn't stop touching my arms and legs, telling me I was glowing and asking what smelled so good. We ended up having a spontaneous date night that felt like we were back in our honeymoon phase. This oil didn't just make my skin gloww it genuinely brought the spark back to my confidence and my relationship. 10/10, will be buying a lifetime supply
I have suffered from severely dry skin my entire life. My arms, chest, shins are always ashy no matter what lotion I use. I was skeptical that an oil would be enough
This is hands-down the most hydrating body product I have ever used. It provides an immediate, deep relief that I've never experienced with a lotion. It feels so good when you put it on, like a warm, hydrating blanket. The 'glaze' is real - it leaves a beautiful, healthy-looking sheen that lasts all day. I haven't had to re-apply once. It's completely transformed the texture of my skin; it's softer and more supple than it's ever been. The only reason it's not 5 stars is that the bottle is a bit small for how much I use, but that won't stop me from buying it again. For the first time, I'm not self-conscious about my legs. Worth every penny.
Before I started using this, I felt so dry and insecure in my own skin, especially after long weeks when I just felt completely drained. But the second I put this on, the glow gave me back my confidence and made me feel like a different operson. It’s honestly resparked things between me and my boyfriend. He literally can’t keep his hands or eyes off me now like we're back in our honeymoon phase. I love it
Girllll ever since I started wearing this ppl literally stop me in real life just to ask what I'm wearing!! The attention this glow gives you is insane. The smell also does something I'm tellin y'all. 10/10 recommend!!
My boyfriend is officially addicted to this stuff. Every time I walk past him after putting it on, he grabs me just to smell my neck and stare at how glossy my skin looks. It's an absolute game-changer!
My chest area always got super dry in fall and winter but this helps a lot. Put this on in the morning and my skin still soft and glowing by the evening.
At first I was genuinely interested in purchasing this product because the ingredients sounded promising, especially arbutin and tranexamic acid. So I decided to do some research (like a responsible human) before spending my money. To my dismay the more I looked into the company, the more concerned I became.
Issue 1:
The FIRST and biggest issue I found was with the reviews displayed on the company's website. I noticed that multiple reviews were repetitive, I'm talking almost word for word perfection but were attributed to COMPLETELY different people. The exact same testimonials appeared under different names, different ages, and even different star ratings (sketchy sketchy). For example, one review that claimed that dark spots disappeared after two months was posted under several different names. Another review that claimed that they saw results after three weeks appeared multiple times with different names as well. I also found identical reviews discussing sun spots, knees and elbows, and forehead dark patches, all copied and reused with different names.
As a potential customer, this instantaneously made me question the authenticity of the reviews. Customer reviews are supposed to help people make informed decisions. If reviews are being duplicated and assigned to different people, it becomes very difficult to know which experiences (if any) are genuine.
Issue 2:
I also noticed that many of the promotional product images appear to be AI-generated or heavily digitally rendered instead of using the actual photographs of the product. I understand thats using rendered images isn't necessarily wrong but when combined with questionable testimonials, it doesn't really inspire confidence.
I then checked Trustpilot and found a low TrustScore along with complaints from other customers regarding customer service and their overall experience. After seeing this and in addition to my own findings convinced me not to place an order.
I'm not writing this review to claim that the product itself does or doesn't work because I never actually purchased it. My concern is with the company's marketing practices and transparency. I believe customers deserve authentic reviews and honest advertising so they can make informed decisions with their money.
I honestly hope the company fixes these concerns by removing duplicate testimonials, verifying customer reviews, and being more transparent in the future. Until then, I personally don't feel comfortable purchasing from this brand.
Je ne croyais pas que ça marcherait sur les parties foncées de mes jambes, mais ça les a couvertes en quelques secondes et c'est resté en place toute la journée malgré la chaleur. La teinte Toffee était parfaite pour moi.
Après mon opération, j'ai arrêté de porter tout ce qui montrait mon ventre. Avant j'adorais porter des bikinis l'été, mais je ne voulais pas que la cicatrice se voie, et elle était beaucoup plus foncée que le reste de ma peau. Ça l'a si bien couverte qu'on ne peut même pas voir que j'ai une cicatrice.
J'avais arrêté d'aimer les photos de moi à cause de mon cou. J'ai commencé à utiliser Shimma quand une de mes amies m'a dit qu'elle s'en servait. Ça marche vraiment bien et ça donne à la peau une apparence beaucoup plus uniforme. J'ai pris des photos à la remise de diplôme de ma petite-fille et je les ai toutes adorées.
J'ai organisé mes étés autour de mes cuisses depuis aussi longtemps que je me souvienne. Ça a couvert les marques en quelques secondes et c'est resté en place toute la journée dans cette chaleur. Ça marche vraiment.
J'ai acheté Shimma en Cocoa parce que mes jambes et mes bras sont couverts de taches foncées, d'hyperpigmentation et de zones irrégulières qui ont empiré au fil des années. J'ai aussi pris le pinceau qui vient avec — tu as vraiment besoin d'un bon pinceau pour bien l'estomper. Pour l'instant je l'ai porté sur mes bras et le bas de mes jambes. C'était vraiment facile à appliquer sur mes bras et à estomper uniformément, j'ai attendu environ 5 minutes que ça pose et ensuite je me suis habillée et je suis sortie. J'étais sincèrement surprise de voir à quel point ça avait l'air naturel — on ne dirait pas du maquillage du tout, juste ma peau un très bon jour. Ça a tenu presque toute la journée sans transférer, ce qui était ma plus grande inquiétude. Mes jambes ont pris un peu plus de temps, surtout autour des genoux où le foncé est le plus marqué — il faut construire par couches et estomper soigneusement pour que cette zone soit assortie au reste de la jambe. Mais une fois que j'ai trouvé le bon geste, la différence était irréelle. J'ai la fin de la quarantaine et entre des années de boutons de rasage, les dégâts du soleil, et juste ma peau qui change avec l'âge, mes jambes ont l'air tachetées et irrégulières depuis longtemps. J'ai essayé des crèmes éclaircissantes, des exfoliants, même des huiles pour le corps qui prétendent unifier le teint — rien n'a vraiment marché. Ça hydratait, mais les taches foncées étaient toujours là. C'est pour ça que je suis passée à ça. Ça n'essaie pas de changer ta peau, ça fait juste que tout soit assorti et uniforme. Pour les taches vraiment tenaces à l'intérieur des cuisses, je fais une deuxième couche et je l'estompe, et ça se fond parfaitement. J'en suis à mon deuxième flacon et ma sœur me l'emprunte tout le temps, donc il faut que je lui en prenne un à elle.
J'étais TELLEMENT sceptique parce que j'ai ruiné tellement de chemises blanches avec du maquillage pour le corps. Je l'ai appliqué, j'ai attendu mes 20 minutes. Ce truc ne transfère PAS et je ne reviendrai jamais en arrière.
J'ai 48 ans et ma peau en a vu de toutes les couleurs. Des années sans crème solaire, des boutons de rasage, et la vie qui laisse ses traces. Mes jambes sont couvertes de taches foncées et mes genoux sont au moins trois teintes plus foncés que le reste de ma jambe - c'est comme ça depuis mes 30 ans mais ça a empiré. J'ai arrêté de porter des robes et des jupes il y a des années parce que ma peau avait l'air irrégulière et fatiguée. J'ai essayé toutes les lotions éclaircissantes et tous les exfoliants du marché et rien n'a jamais fait de vraie différence. J'avais déjà accepté que mes jambes resteraient comme ça. Puis j'ai essayé Shimma et je n'arrivais franchement pas à croire la différence après une seule application. Mes jambes avaient un ton uniforme de haut en bas - mes genoux étaient assortis, on ne voyait plus les taches foncées, et ma peau avait ce glow sain que je n'avais pas vu depuis des années. J'ai l'impression de ne rien porter et ça n'a pas transféré sur mon canapé crème, ce qui était le vrai test. J'ai franchement versé une petite larme la première fois que j'ai porté une robe dehors sans penser à mes jambes une seule fois. J'en suis à mon deuxième flacon et ma grande sœur s'y est mise aussi.
My breakouts cleared up like 2 years ago but the dark spots they left on my cheeks never did. Tried the fade creams from the beauty supply, two different serums, even stopped wearing makeup for a while thinking my skin needed to "breathe" lol. Nothing. This one I almost returned because week 2 I saw nothing. So glad I didn't. Week 5 they were clearly fading and now at month 2 my cheeks are basically clear. Posted a selfie with no filter for the first time in forever. It just needed time.
Quick history. Cocoa butter for years, did nothing. Vitamin C serum, watched a hundred videos about it, barely anything. Then a turmeric mask phase lol. Even asked my doctor about hydroquinone and she didn't want to prescribe it long term. The spots on my cheeks from old breakouts just sat there through all of it. Bought this honestly expecting nothing. Weeks 1-2, nothing, here we go again. Week 4 I noticed the smaller spots looking lighter. Week 8 my husband asked what was different about my face. I'm at 3 months now and the big stubborn one near my jaw is almost gone too. The difference is this is actually strong enough. Everything else I tried was clearly too weak for my skin. Just be consistent, morning and night, every day.
I'm 63 and I got dark patches everywher. Knees, elbows, my neck, even the backs of my hands from years in the sun. Started with my face but now I put a little on all of it at night. Took about 2 months but everything is evening out to match the rest of me, feel more confident now
