After the sun, let your skin reset - not rebel.⁠
Our Uplifting Serum is a sensitive skin's salvation.⁠
Scientifically formulated with DN-Age® from the candle bush (Cassia Alata) plant, it protects skin cell DNA - both nuclear and mitochondrial - from UV oxidative damage. ⁠
Plus, a calming blend of anti-inflammatory Kigelia, Aloe Ferox, and Buchu helps reduce inflammation and restore barrier health. ⁠
Less redness and sensitivity - more resilience.⁠

The Sausage Tree is having a moment. 🌳✨ ⁠Although in African tradition, its skin-firming and other remarkable benefits have been known for centuries. ⁠
Kigelia africana is no ordinary fruit - it’s the it ingredient in skincare today, backed by both traditional wisdom and modern clinical trials.⁠
⁠
Bioactive molecules like flavonoids, iridoids, and phytosterols help your skin live its best life:⁠
✔ Flavonoids act as antioxidants, protecting skin from UV-induced free radical damage.⁠
✔ Iridoids inhibit enzymes involved in inflammation - by up to 83% at very low concentrations.⁠
✔ Phytosterols stabilise the skin barrier⁠
⁠
Clinical studies show Kigelia extract increases firmness (+13%) and elasticity (+10%) in just 28 days while helping to brighten skin tone and calm irritation.⁠
⁠
Treat your skin to a kiss of Kigelia with our Light Facial Cream, Uplifting Serum, Omumbiri Body Butter, and Resuscitate Hand Balm.⁠

How science talks to the senses. ✨⁠
⁠
Spas are no longer just places for ‘beauty’ - they’re functional sanctuaries designed to reset the mind and make people feel grounded and healed. Through neuroaesthetics, it’s possible to craft spaces that reduce anxiety, balance emotions, and leave a lasting sense of calm. To truly heal.⁠
From light that syncs with your circadian rhythm, to soundscapes that steady the heart, to customised fragrances that become part of memory, all the detail matters.⁠
⁠
Dr Stephan Helary, Founder of Terres d’Afrique, has recently brought these elements together in signature scent design for and , and is blown away by inspiring examples of African spa architecture at and .⁠

Somewhere in Africa’s most remote spaces, the land exhales.⁠
⁠
This is where we go.⁠
⁠
To untouched terroir where wild botanicals grow as they always have. In harmony with soil, sun and storm.⁠
We honour these ecosystems by working with them. Never rushing. Never taking more than the earth provides.⁠
⁠
It’s called slow production.⁠
⁠
And it’s how we source every ingredient, from our rare skincare active ingredients to our exquisitely blended teas. ⁠
⁠
All eyes on this space. Something beautiful is brewing.⁠ ⁠
(Hint: Start warming your teapot.)⁠

More than harvesters and caretakers of the earth, the communities we source from are also our connection to the land. The ingredients they offer us are special and rare. ⁠
⁠
We honour this indigenous intellectual property and do not pressure these producers into exclusive agreements. We also guarantee access to transparent and equitable benefits sharing, in accordance with the Nagoya protocol.⁠

Currently brewing: our new range of exquisitely crafted African-inspired luxury blends.⁠ Organically grown, every tea is intentionally crafted with ingredients for specific benefits: upliftment, relaxation, energy, groundedness - and with specific health-supporting properties, like antioxidant-rich rooibos, as one example.⁠
⁠
We'll be back soon to show you our must-try newcomers.⁠
⁠
Meantime, while you wait for slivers of orange, bergamot and cornflowers to drop, shop our best-selling regulars online.⁠

This made our day. Our new golden tea blend, Ubuntu Rising.⁠
⁠
One of our expanded collection of luxury blends: a gently smoky oolong with bright notes of orange blossom and a soft, discernible calm. Named for the spirit of Ubuntu, it reminds us that we are all connected.⁠
⁠
The premium ingredients in our teas are sourced from communities and growers who we support across the African continent - including traditional San folk in South Africa's Cederberg mountains, and rural villagers in Morocco. Always with respect. ⁠
⁠
More tea blends are on their way. Stay close for the drop, and look online to shop your regulars.⁠
