Active Ingredient
South Africa’s best skincare secret
Africa's skin saviour
At the heart of Afari skincare, is Bulbine frutescens, a small indigenous shrub that grows in the dry valleys of southern Africa. This succulent plant contains a gel-like sap in its leaves, which has been used for generations as a remedy for skin injuries due to the soothing, anti-inflammatory effect of the sap.
Just-released scientific research has shown the plant has a lot more to offer; the sap has clinically proven benefits in the stimulation of collagen synthesis, a fundamental process in maintaining skin’s healthy, youthful-looking appearance.
