LOVE YOUR SKIN
Enjoy new radiance with African Extracts and the healing, soothing properties of aloe.
There’s nothing as South African as an Aloe plant, besides a cup of Rooibos tea. These two botanical icons have even more in common – both are mainstays of traditional healing and they’re recognised for their skin-soothing properties.
Many species of Aloe are indigenous to South Africa, and they come in all shapes and sizes.
The flowers range in colour from white to sunset hues of yellow, orange, pink and red. They’re hardy plants that tolerate drought, which makes them a good choice for gardeners, and their nectar attracts many species of birds and insects.
Tough on the outside, the fleshy leaves contain a cool liquid gel full of vitamins A, C, D and E; amino acids; polysaccharides and phytosterols; and minerals such as zinc, potassium and magnesium. In the skin-care world, this translates into a soothing, hydrating and sebum-balancing ingredient for use in creams, gels and masks.
African Extracts skin care has at its heart the antioxidant protection and healing properties of Rooibos extract, but it also uses more than 30 other plant extracts and antioxidant vitamins in products for all skin types. It is affordable, effective care for South African skins, endorsed by Beauty Without Cruelty.
