Roar Afro Oz Artisan Soaps & Skincare is the home of Madam & Prezu Tigernut Secrets® — tigernut-led Afro-botanical tallow skincare handmade in Australia.
Our brand was created by two people blending their cultures together: Prezu from West Africa and Madam from Australia.
From that fusion came Roar Afro Oz — a small-batch skincare brand inspired by African botanicals, Australian handmade craft, and real ingredients that feel rich, nourishing and purposeful on the skin.
Our products are made in Melbourne using ingredients such as tallow, tigernut oil, tigernut milk, nourishing butters and botanical infusions.
Why Tigernut?
Tigernut is our hero botanical.
Naturally rich and earthy, tigernut brings a unique story to our soaps, balms and skin products. We use tigernut oil, tigernut milk and tigernut-inspired formulations to create body care that feels creamy, gentle and skin-loving.
Tigernut is valued in skincare because it contains naturally occurring fatty acids, vitamin E and antioxidants that help support the look and feel of soft, smooth, moisturised skin.
Tigernut Skin Benefits
- Vitamin E content — supports soft, healthy-looking skin
- Oleic acid and omega-9 — known for a nourishing skin feel
- Antioxidants — help protect the skin from everyday environmental stress
- Gentle moisturising properties — ideal for dry or tired-looking skin
- Creamy skin feel — especially in handmade soap and body care
Why Tallow?
Tallow has been used for generations as a traditional skin-conditioning ingredient.
At Roar Afro Oz, we use purified grass-fed tallow in selected products because of its rich, creamy texture and skin-conditioning feel. In handmade soap, tallow helps create a firm bar with a creamy, gentle cleanse.
What Makes Tallow Special?
- Skin-conditioning fats — help give soaps and balms a rich, nourishing feel
- Creamy lather — creates a firm bar with a gentle cleanse
- Rich skin feel — gives balms and skin whips a comforting texture
- No harsh detergents — free from sulfates and synthetic foaming agents
Why We Combine Tallow with Tigernut
Tallow and tigernut work beautifully together.
Tigernut brings the plant-based botanical story. Tallow brings richness, creaminess and traditional skin-conditioning benefits.
Together, they create body care that feels nourishing, purposeful and different from ordinary handmade skincare.
Handmade in Melbourne
All Roar Afro Oz products are handmade in small batches in Melbourne, Australia.
Thank you for supporting our journey.
