Angela Akinpelu PA C

Soytopia found its beginnings when its founder and CEO, An-gela R. Akinpelu, PA-C, began to fill the niche for healthy, soy-based candles that were fragrant as well as beauti-ful. As a Physician Assistant, Angela has practiced in OB/Gyn, Hospitalist/Internal Medicine, and Surgery. She is joined in her Soytopia journey with her husband, Dr. David Akinpelu, an Emergency Medicine and Internal Medicine physician. As practicing health care providers, expanding the product line from earth-friendly candles to health-conscious bath and body products seemed natural. Soytopia takes pride in producing high quality goods without the use of mineral oils, petroleum, para-bens, SLS, or SLES. For your sake, we use natural preservatives whenever possible. We never use preservatives that decompose to formaldehyde. Herbal extracts, spices, and essential oils are used to fragrance and naturally color many of our products. Our certified organic aloe vera gel and our soy waxes are made from American grown crops. Our West African shea butter and Hawaiian raw sugar are harvested under fair trade practices. Most importantly, your skin and hair will benefit from our natural oil products rich in vitamin A, vitamin E, and omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, among others! At Soytopia, our vision is three-fold. We endeavor to educate, primarily women of color, on making health-conscious and earth-friendly choices regarding the products they apply to their and their families’ bodies and consume in their homes. We strive to employ people, instead of machines, to handcraft those products. And thirdly, we will empower women financially and socially with a ve-hicle to sell those products, directly to consumers, via a Party Plan platform.
