Argan Oil
As mentioned in our recent article, argan oil is a true wonder weapon regarding skincare. Produced by Berber women in Morocco, argan oil functions miraculously both as a moisturiser and as sun protection. Polyphene, one of its important compounds, helps to fight allergies. The oil can also calm the skin and fight acne. Argan oil is rich in vitamin E and fatty acids. The many anti-oxidants make it a natural anti-ageing product.

Rooibos
Rooibos, which means “red bush” in Afrikaans, is a shrub native to South Africa. Of course, you all know Rooibos as a sort of tea. This is what it is traditionally consumed as. But the tea is also a part of traditional South African medicine. With alpha hydroxyl acid and zinc, it is great for treating sunburn, acne, eczema and other types of skin damage. Possessing these properties, it is a perfect boost for your beauty. I would recommend to wash away the day with a rooibos cleanser and then follow with a large cup of organic rooibos tea.

Mongongo Nuts
The oil of the mongongo nuts growing on trees in the Zambezi river valley is very precious and useful for many purposes. Because it contains a lot of Vitamin E and C, it helps to soften, moisturize and repair skin damage and frizzy hair. Other important compounds can even enhance the function of the immune system. The oil from the nuts has been traditionally used as a hair oil and as a body rub in the dry winter months.
