Our Story
Africa Organics is an Ecocert accredited, 100% Natural Hair and Body care range using Africa’s powerful natural and organic plant ingredients.

Choosing natural ingredients doesn’t mean having to accept ineffective products.

On the contrary, the African plant species we use have had to adapt to the harshest conditions on the planet by producing some of the most powerful protective actives known to man. You can now benefit from these ingredients in our range of body and hair care products:

Our ingredients are sustainably sourced from within sub-Saharan Africa, benefitting rural communities.
We are certified organic by Ecocert and classified as 100% natural origin.
We are endorsed by Beauty Without Cruelty and don’t test our products on animals. We don’t purchase raw materials from suppliers that use animal testing.

Ethics
CERTIFIED ORGANIC
When we were formulating Africa Organics, we used the Ecocert and COSMOS standards as a starting point and overlaid our own ethics. We looked into the skin sensitivity and biodegradability data, as well as the production processes for all the ingredients.

AFRICA FRIENDLY
We stipulated that a minimum of 5% of our raw material cost would be spent on sourcing ingredients from sub-Saharan Africa so that we had real community benefit. We threw out anything that we felt was not applicable to sensitive skin.

CRUELTY FREE
We are accredited through Beauty Without Cruelty, an animal rights organisation with a primary objective to educate and inform the public about the exploitation, abuse and suffering of animals.

VEGAN
We are accredited by The Vegan Society. We don’t believe in using ANY animal products in our range … not even beeswax.

PLASTIC NEUTRAL
The packaging – we’ve subscribed to the Cradle-to-Cradle philosophy – so we view our product as a biological nutrient and the packaging as a technical nutrient. This means that we focus primarily on the recyclability of the packaging, bearing in mind its production processes.

CARBON NEUTRAL
Every year we fight to minimise our carbon emissions. We audit our energy consumption yearly to ensure that we are as efficient as we can be and that we continue to improve.
Nobody’s perfect though, so we purchase carbon credits to offset the company’s carbon emissions.

Ingredients

This range was launched to take the amazing plants of Africa to the rest of the world. When it comes to plants, South Africa is in the top three most biodiverse countries on our planet and these plants produce some of the most powerful ingredients known. We harvest the plants from the wild because they are more active that way – Africa doesn’t tame well.
