Former fashion designer-turned eco-preneur, Colleen Malwah Aqui is the founder and owner of RODCO Home Essentials, that produces various all-natural lines of body and beauty products which are designed to treat, heal and reveal one’s beautiful skin.
Ms. Colleen Malwah-Aqui worked in the garment industry for years, designing some of the best business suites, bridal wear, gowns, etc, but most times we forget the most important thing – like just taking care care of our skin. Ms. Malwah-Aqui, decided at first to keep her job as a fashion designer, but to branch out in creating her own handmade beauty bar products, which very soon, as word got out and her products started to fly off the shelves and so she decided to turn it into a full-time business – hence RODCO Home Essentials was born.
Ms. Malwah-Aqui even went on further and took a one-day training course with a local chemist at the Caribbean Industrial Research Institute (Cariri) to educate herself on the chemistry of soap making; while the rest she learned through constant research on the internet, books and by trial and error.
RODCO Home Essentials creates, produces and manufactures in small batch handmade and handcrafted all-natural soaps, body butters, lip balms, healing balms, sugar scrubs, powders and deodorants – made from the most natural ingredients and extracts from local fruits, plants and vegetables such as noni fruit, papaya, mango, caralie, goat milk, grape, orange, lavender, dark chocolate, and even beer which can be found in various lines of her natural beauty and skincare products.
RODCO Home Essentials is now a growing business that combines the love of home decorating; events management; body/bath and spa products; soap-making and even teaching candle-making in making a difference in the lives of the people they meet.
