A COMMITMENT TO NATURE
Clean Formulas Shaped by Nature’s Most Powerful Botanicals.
"Our eco-focused vision goes beyond our promise to be clean and cruelty-free; it’s an intricate thread that perfectly winds through each stage of our products’ lifespans and forms the basis of our identity. It means being deeply connected to the natural ecosystems that inspire us and preserving them for future generations. It’s a personal and lasting relationship with our suppliers and producers. It’s the way in which we recognize and respect thousands of years of traditional phytochemistry and pharmacology."
SUSTAINABLE SOURCING
"At the root of this botanically powered principle is our commitment to only use sustainably and ethically harvested wild-grown ingredients. Our plant extracts, seed oils and rare minerals originate from every part of South Africa: the desert, the sea and the land. The harsh climatic conditions in which they grow produce the most biodynamic and resilient plants in the world including Resurrection plant, Honeybush, Marula and many others."
SUSTAINABILITY MANAGEMENT
"Ubuntu, the African experience of generosity in interconnectedness that allows us to be human, together. This quality is one we have believed in deeply from the beginning. Only by creating a network of direct relationships with local South African producers can we work toward a sustainable future—for generations to follow and enjoy.
We place a strong emphasis on ethical and sustainable harvesting and sourcing by maintaining lasting relationships with reputable local producers. To this day, we remain loyal customers to these independent suppliers and artisans that we have known and trusted for years. African Botanics follows the principles of the Nagoya Protocol: Fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising from the utilization of genetic resources, contributes to the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity."
