African Wanderlust Travel + Gift Set from African Botanics | A Gorgeous Must-Have!

Press Release (Unaffiliated Links)

Experience South Africa and its beauty - the colours of the earth, raw textures and rare essences in this magnificent travel set.

Features a two-week introduction to our African Marula Oil Ritual. Pure Marula Cleansing Oil removes makeup, sunscreen and pollution, while the Mineral Cleansing Mask deeply cleanses and refreshes fatigued skin, providing hydration, vitamins, and energy to your cells. Cold pressed, anti-aging Pure Marula Oil hydrates, softens the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, increases skin elasticity, plumps and revitalizes your complexion. Marula Shimmering Gold Oil, light and airy in texture formulated for face, body and hair, captures and reflects the radiant splendour of glimmering African sunsets, beautifying with translucent mother of pearl minerals to illuminate skin and enhance its natural radiance.

Each cosmetic bag is handwoven by men and women of individual homesteads in rural villages in the Kasaai region of the Democratic Republic of Congo. It is a traditionally woven textile by individuals and not mass produced in any controlled environment, so each piece has its own flair and creativity and is absolutely unique. It is a flat weave that is woven from the raffia Vinafera palm which grows wild and is endemic to the tropical region on a double heddle hand loom and takes between 3 and 4 months to weave, mostly for a few hours in the evenings after work in the fields has been done for the day. The symbols are all representative of the makers life and tells the story of birth, marriage, harvest, children, cattle and ceremonies. The purchase of this fabric supports the weavers and artisans of this age old tradition as well as the artisans who make up the finished product in South Africa. All goods are traded and made up following fair trade principles.

  • Pure Marula Cleansing Oil for all skin types. 30ml - 1oz.
  • Marula Mineral Cleansing Mask for all skin types. 20ml - 0.68oz
  • Pure Marula Oil for all skin types. 5ml
