Africa’s influence grows with new beauty products

Mainstream beauty brands now realise African ingredients are
essential.
We are used to ingredients from around the world but, with
beauty, Africa is now the hot spot, with lush, plant-derived oils and extracts
reaching mainstream brands. Protein-rich baobab, from the baobab tree, is a key
ingredient for skincare as it’s high in antioxidants, calcium, and vitamins C
and A. Marula oil, from the tree of the same name, boasts higher antioxidant and
omega-9 levels than argan oil, while nutrient-dense moringa leaves contain no
less than 30 antioxidants.
