Kreyòl Essence, led by founder Yve-Car Momperousse, is bringing the first 100 percent natural Haitian black castor oil and Haitian Moringa oil to the world market. The company hires women farmers and producers to grow and make its products, providing valuable jobs in Haiti. Kreyòl Essence has created work for hundreds of women and promotes environmental restoration: it has planted 100,000 castor trees, which help to regenerate degraded land, allowing farmers to intercrop food plants.
