Visits to this shop are the highlights of my weeks. They have such a wide variety of natural oils, soaps and textiles at great prices. The only problem I have with this store is that I didn't know about it sooner. So glad to know you. Thank you for such great business and wonderful products.

Beautiful store! Large selection of items that have reasonable prices especially in this economy. We will be returning for their selection of shea butter. The shop owner is also very nice and helpful!

On 5/9/2026 Steven Frost had this to say:
Al the owner is always welcoming and has a sense of humor that is engaging. He’s also open about why he doesn’t carry certain currently popular products which is refreshing. Additionally he goes above and beyond to offer customer service that is focused on you the customer first. Always a good experience stopping into Unan Imports to see what is new, pick up some shea butter or scents with the added plus of conversations with Al. Highly recommended as a place to shop
