Discover Beauty Products Containing Indigenous - African Botanicals

Aloe vera is one of the most beneficial natural botanicals one can wish to use – whether raw and fresh, directly from the long, juicy leaves of this cactus-like beauty, or as a refined cosmetic botanical extract. It is moisturising and very soothing, helping to treat and calm dry and inflamed skin.

Kalahari melon seed oil is one of the latest cosmetic ingredient raves.
