African Botanics is a skin care brand founded in Los Angeles in 2012 by Craig and Julia Noik, deeply rooted in their connection to South Africa and its rich biodiversity. The brand focuses on high-performance skin care, blending nature, research, and technology while emphasizing wellness for skin, body, and spirit. Committed to ethical trade and eco-sustainability, African Botanics celebrates the unique, nutrient-rich plants of its homeland through intentional luxury skin care formulas.

African Botanics skin care is made in South Africa. The brand sources raw materials from indigenous wild plants and trees, which are harvested and processed by local cooperatives that adhere to fair-trade principles. This ethical approach not only ensures the highest quality of ingredients but also supports sustainable practices and communities within the region.

African Botanics is dedicated to crafting products that nurture a variety of skin types, including sensitive skin, dehydrated skin, and delicate skin. With a commitment to safety, their formulations exclude over 2700 ingredients identified as potentially harmful under The Credo Clean Standard™. This makes their skin care options particularly beneficial for those seeking gentle yet effective solutions. As with any new skin care product, it's still advisable to conduct a patch test to ensure compatibility with your unique skin profile, since individual sensitivities and allergic reactions may differ.

African Botanics is committed to maintaining cruelty-free practices. At Credo Beauty, we ensure that all the brands we partner with adhere to our strict cruelty-free and animal welfare requirements, and African Botanics is no exception. We also prioritize vegan options and enforce restrictions on the use of certain animal-derived ingredients.

African Botanics skin care meets our sustainability and packaging standards. Their efforts include the implementation of recyclable packaging, reducing waste, and partnering with reforestation programs to help restore natural ecosystems. Plus, by sourcing their ingredients from small fair trade communities in Southern Africa, African Botanics is able to support local economies and promote the preservation of their land.
