African Botanics was created by Julia & Craig Noik back in 2012. African Botanics is designed, formulated, and made from start to finish in South Africa, paying homage to the cultural history of its people and the vast biodiversity of its landscape. The products thoughtfully combine the unique botanicals native to South Africa with the most cutting-edge skincare technology to create luxuriously effective products that surprise and delight. Along with well-researched lab-syntheized actives, they go the extra mile to use only sustainably and ethically harvested wild-grown and biodynamic botanical ingredients in their formulations, working with independent networks of individuals, and supporting local women-owned businesses whenever possible. 

African Botanics Nutritive Molecule Serum ($250.00 for 1 oz. Full size bottle): This is an advanced antioxidant-rich magical potion with Vitamin C that combines the highest quality natural ingredients with advanced biotechnology in order to protect the skin against free-radical damage, to improve the texture of the skin, to lighten dark spots, to help prevent the onset of environmentally induced wrinkles and sun damage, and to brighten the complexion.

Unlike the many Vitamin C-based serums that have flooded the market in the last few years, African Botanics Nutritive Molecule Serum is a brilliantly conceived blend of three different highly stable, and oil soluble, forms of Vitamin C: Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate and Ascorbyl Methylsilanol Pectinate. Its oil solubility is an imperative part of its potent delivery system that enables it to work in conjunction with the Baobab, Marula and Kalahari Melon oils.

This antioxidant-rich serum is very hydrating, and it contains three forms of Vitamin C: Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (THD), Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate (SAP) and Ascorbyl Palmitate to brighten the skin.

The lightweight texture is fast absorbing, it leaves behind no oily residue, it leaves skin immediately brightened and hydrated, and it has a light aroma from which one can detect a hint of the Baobab and Marula oils.

According to African Botanics,

An extremely rejuvenating serum that incorporates a superior complex of antioxidants and advanced actives to supplement and protect skin against the main types of free radicals: oxygen, carbon and nitrogen while improving skin’s texture, brightening and providing a strong protective barrier against pollution and cellular damage. Formulated for all skin types, this anti-aging serum infuses skin with 3 types of Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Ferulic Acid, Niacinamide, Resveratrol and Yeast Beta Glucan to help accelerate antioxidant activity. 

Directions: Apply 2 pumps to clean face and neck every morning and evening with uplifting strokes, patting gently on the skin to aid absorption. For best results, use daily.

For:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Dark spots, age spots / hyper-pigmentation
• Dullness / uneven texture
• Loss of firmness / elasticity

Benefits:

• Fights signs of aging
• Visibly brightens dullness
• Targets fine lines, wrinkles / sun damage
• Promotes collagen production

Select Ingredients & Their Attributes:

• Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate: A stable oil-soluble form of vitamin C that penetrates deep into the skin to brighten and provide free radical protection*.

• Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate: A stable, water-soluble form of vitamin C that functions as an antioxidant and is effective for brightening an uneven skin tone while boosting collagen production with antimicrobial benefits*.

• Ascorbyl Palmitate: Stable and non-acidic form of vitamin C that is effective as an antioxidant. Ascorbyl palmitate is particularly effective at reducing environmental damage*.

• Oxidoreductase: Large group of enzymes that block oxygen in different forms from generating environmental damage*.

• Niacinamide: Vitamin B3 refines the look of pores, reduces the appearance of discoloration, improves skin resilience, and visibly brightens and fights dullness for a radiant, even-looking skin tone*.

• Yeast Beta-Glucan: A potent skin humectant with plumping capacity as hyaluronic acid and is high in antioxidants. It attracts water to the top layers of skin while decreasing the look of wrinkles, redness, and irritation. Some tests have shown beta-glucan is 20% more hydrating than hyaluronic acid at the same concentration*.

• Acetyl Hexapeptide 3: An amino-peptide developed specifically to reduce wrinkles and the signs of premature aging*.

• Resurrection Plant: Rich in polysaccharides, polyphenols and Trehalose sugar molecules address multiple signs of aging: dehydration, fine lines, uneven texture. By enhancing moisture retention, this intensive bio-extract nourishes the skin cells and contributes to skin regeneration*.

• Panthenol: Pro-Vitamin B5 acts as an emollient and lubricant. Panthenol modifies itself biochemically to produce the d-pantothenic acid, essential for a normal tissue function and cellular regeneration*.

• Malus Domestica: Swiss apple, a plant stem cell culture technology that has a positive effect on stem cell growth thus maintaining the growth and the proliferative activity of stem cells with an anti-wrinkle effect.

• Azelaic Acid: Inhibits tyrosinase, which is an enzyme that leads to pigmentation. It's effective on post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation from acne breakouts.

• Resveratrol: Fights free-radical damage with its antioxidant power, minimizing the signs of aging, such as fine lines, wrinkles and hyperpigmentation.

• Silk amino acids: Liquid silk proteins contain essential antioxidants and amino acids that hydrate and nourish the skin, restoring its elasticity and resilience.

• Hyaluronic acid: A natural component of skin, hyaluronic acid molecules hold around 1,000 times their own weight in water, so they are extremely effective at hydrating the skin, plumping and smoothing the complexion to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

• Ethyl Ferulate: Ferulic acid is a skin soothing agent with powerful radical scavenging properties comparable to Vitamin C. Ethyl Ferulate is used for the treatment of premature skin aging and UV-radiation. 

• Allantoin: Moisturizes, soothes itchiness, and heals injured skin. Allantoin can increase the water contents of cells, therefore, fighting against the damage of trans epidermal water loss (TEWL) in the dermis, which keeps the skin looking plump and youthful*.

Ingredients: Aqua (Water), Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (Vitamin C), Aloe Ferox (Aloe) Extract, Hamamelis Virginia (Witch Hazel) Extract, Glycine Soja (Soybean) Protein, Oxidoreductases, Niacinamide, Bulbinella Nutens Extract, Yeast Beta Glucan Extract, Acetyl Hexapeptide-3, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate (Vitamin C), Myrothamus Flabellifolius (Resurrection) Plant Extract, Adansonia Digitata (Baobab)* Seed Oil, Alpha Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), Carbomer, Cyclopia Genistoides (Honeybush) Leaf Extract, Citrillus Lanatus (Kalahari Melon)* Seed Oil, Panthenol (Vitamin B5), Rosa-Senensis (Hibiscus) Extract, Allantoin, Malus Domestica Fruit Cell Culture (Apple Stem Cells), Hyaluronic Acid, Xanthan Gum, Lecithin, Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Extract, Sambucus Nigra (Elder Tree) Extract, Malva Sylvestris (Mallow) Extract, Hedera Helix (Ivy) Extract, Anacyclus Pyrethrum (Pellitory) Extract, Sclerocarya Birrea (Marula)* Seed Oil, Arnica Cordifolia Extract, Moringa Oleifera Seed Oil, Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract, Azelaic Acid, Aminomethyl Propanol, Caffein, Camelia Sinensis (Green Tea) Extract, Silk Amino Acid, Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil, Ethyl Ferulate (Ferulic) Acid, Poly-40 Glyceryl-5 Trioleate, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract, Disodium Uridine Phosphate, Helichrysum Angustifolium (Everlasting/ Immortelle) Extract, Pichia/Resveratrol Ferment Extract, Ascorbyl Palmitate (Vitamin C), Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin.

African Botanics Buchu Botanical Enzyme Polish ($20.00 for 20 ml, travel size): Buchu Botanical Enzyme Polish is a very deep-cleansing facial exfoliator that effectively and efficiently sweeps away impurities and cleans out clogged pores. It is formulated with a combination of Marula Oil, Baobab Oils and Buchu Plant extracts that are punctuated by Micro-Algae and ultra-fine granules of ancient volcanic minerals. The fine granules, which densely populate this exfoliator, efficiently and effectively unclog pores, and remove dead skin cells, excess oils and impurities. Papaya and Pineapple enzymes help to dissolve dead skin cells, aid in cleaning out the pores, and make them appear reduced in size. Skin is left brightened, deeply cleansed and utterly glowing. In fact, the first time that I used it I noticed that it left my skin feeling as soft and silky smooth as ultra-fine velvet. Only the smallest amount is needed to achieve the desired results for the face, neck and décolleté, and the exfoliating particles are so efficient that you do not need to apply any pressure as you massage it into the skin. Buchu Botanical Enzyme Polish Skin neither strips the skin, nor does it deplete vital moisture or hydration. Dull, congested skin gives way to youthful, radiant skin that feels amazing to the touch. 

Buchu Botanical Enzyme Polish has a wonderful earthy aroma that greatly enhances the sensory experience of using this exfoliator. While it is formulated for most skin types, people with sensitive skin should mix a very small amount with their favorite cleanser. I routinely mix it with Baobab Clay Oxygenating Cleanser when I only want light exfoliation, but I use it alone at least once or twice a week.

According to African Botanics,

Clarifying facial polisher with a powerful combination of physical and enzymatic exfoliation. This gentle polish deeply exfoliates, lifts off dead skin cells and purifies the epidermis to leave skin immaculately clean, soft and radiant without causing irritation. A unique combination of sun dried aromatic Buchu plant and crushed Baobab fruit sourced from the southern tip of Africa are merged with healing Micro-Algae and fine granules of ancient volcanic minerals to visibly refine texture and soften the look of fine lines and dark spots by buffing away dull skin. For sensitive skin, this facial polish can be used as a luxurious mask/peel.

Directions: Apply a small amount as desired and gently massage in a circular motion onto wet face, neck and decollete. Leave on for 2-3 minutes to allow the enzymes to activate. Rinse thoroughly with warm water. Use as often as needed. For sensitive skin, mix a small amount with Baobab Clay Oxygenating Cleanser or use a thin layer for 5 minutes as an enzyme mask.

Solution For:

• Dullness and uneven texture
• Non-inflamed breakouts
• Clogged pores
• Flakiness
• Hyperpigmentation (UV, hormonal and Post-inflammatory)

Benefits:

• Gently exfoliates
• Reduces the appearance of enlarged pores
• Clarifies, brightens, evens skin tone
• Preserves moisture balance

Ingredients and Their Attributes:

• Buchu: Rich in Camphor, Diosphenol, Mucilage, Diosmin and Pugelone. Highly antiseptic, anti-inflammatory and is a powerful detoxifier. Boosts skin cell regeneration and provides optimum therapeutic benefits for all skin types including reactive and blemish-prone skin*.

• Baobab Fruit: Baobab has the highest antioxidant content of any fruit. Baobab fruit has twice the antioxidants gram per gram of goji berries and more than blueberries and pomegranates combined. Targets discoloration, and helps minimize the look of fine lines while providing protection from free radicals*.

• Lactobionic Acid: A part of the PHA family (polyhydroxy acids) and is non-irritating. This patented ingredient is known as a Bionic Acid and is derived from natural sugars. It helps to reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles, discoloration, enlarged pores and roughness through gentle exfoliation. Lactobionic acid is a potent antioxidant that has been shown to target naturally-occurring, skin degrading enzymes to help maintain a youthful look*.

• Papaya and Pineapple: Fruit enzymes provide chemical exfoliation, breaking down the glue that holds dead, dulling skin cells together. Unlike chemical acids that have the potential to burn or weaken your protective barrier, these enzymes are unlikely to inflame, irritate or damage skin*.

• Pumice: Volcanic minerals included for physical exfoliation that help reveal dramatically smoother and softer skin*.

• Micro-algae Extract: Acts as a natural cell detoxifier by providing cellular exfoliation that brightens the skin*.

• Kigelia: Contains antioxidants, including a bioflavonoid called quercetin. It activates the skin’s oxygenation and blood circulation while protecting all skin layers from free radicals. Kigelia’s primary compound is kigelin, an extraordinary protein, enhancing the activity of the cells that produce collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid in the skin.

• Aloe Ferox: Rich in antioxidants, vitamins (A, C and B12) as well as bradykinase, an enzyme that reduces inflammation when applied to the skin.

• Rooibos: Rich in polypehnols, flavonoids, phenolic acids, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides. Rooibos has been thoroughly researched as an active free-radical scavenger and is a source of alpha hydroxy acid, copper, zinc, magnesium and vitamin D*.

Ingredients: Aqua (Water), Carica Papaya Extract, Ananas Sativus (Pineapple) Fruit Extract, Pumice, Glycerine (Vegetable), Butylene Glycol, Agathosma Betulina (Buchu) Leaf Powder, Corn Starch, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Sclerocarya Birrea (Marula)** Seed Oil, Kigelia Africana** Fruit Extract, Propanediol, Maltodextrin, Aspalathus Linearis (Rooibos) Tea Leaf Extract, Mel (Honey) Extract, Aloe (Aloe Ferox) Leaf Extract, Adansonia Digitata (Baobab)** Fruit Extract, Lactobionic Acid, Citrus aurantium bergamia (Bergamot) Fruit Oil, Spirulina Maxima (Micro-Algae) Powder, Pelargonium Graveolens (Rose Geranium)* Oil, Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Oil, Sodium Hydroxide, Limonene*, Linallol*, Citronellol*, Geraniol*.

*Components of natural essential oils. **Wild-Harvested, ethically and responsibly sourced. Vegan, Cruelty-Free. Free of parabens, phthalates, PEGs, SLSs, mineral oil, petrolatum, palm oil, synthetic colors, synthetic fragrances, animal components and GMOs.

Overall Assessment: These are two of my cherished products from African Botanics, and I can not sufficiently underscore the extent to which this beautifully curated eco-luxe beauty box is an extraordinary value. It really doesn't get better than this! A+

NEW African Botanics Marula Résurrection Eye Crème | Review

Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

I never imagined in my wildest dreams that I would ever love an eye cream more than the original African Botanics Marula Résurrection Eye Crème (Reviewed HERE) since it has been my holiest of holy grail eye creams for me, but the NEW African Botanics Marula Résurrection Eye Crème is even better than the former version.

I have to make a very important point about what we have often come to expect with respect to product reformulations– so often when a product is reformulated it tends to lower the quality by using more filler ingredients to reduce the cost of production in order to maximize profits. Who among us hasn't seen a beloved go-to product change in this way. However, when African Botanics reimagines a product, the opposite is true. They spare no expense in their effort to find the best ingredients available, from their native South Africa, and the sole purpose in so doing is to make their products even more extraordinary and effective. African Botanics creates the most groundbreaking and visionary luxury green beauty products, and I assure you that there is nothing on the market like their products.

Marula Résurrection Eye Crème: The consistency of Résurrection Eye Crème is lightweight and fast absorbing, and this silky smooth cream absolutely melts into the skin in the most luxurious way imaginable. It has a silky, ultra-refined texture without any of the granular particles typically found in many Shea Butter- based products. Unlike the original eye cream, that was housed in a glass pot, this new eye cream comes in an elegant air-tight glass bottle with a pump. 

This beautiful eye cream is healing, hydrating and restorative– leaving the delicate eye area looking and feeling refreshed and youthful. This beautiful, and effective formula, plumps fine lines, lifts and nourishes the delicate skin around the eyes, deeply hydrates the skin, and leaves skin with an pronounced clarity and luminosity. The potent healthy ingredients, serious efficacy and superior texture make this eye cream such a joy to use. This luxe eye cream can be used day and night, and because the results are so astounding it is doubtful that you will ever want to use another eye cream. It is remarkably concentrated– therefore, only the smallest amount delivers enviable results, and therefore this bottle will last much longer than expected.

According to African Botanics,

Résurrection Eye Créme is an intensive highly concentrated formula that provides complete age defying care for the delicate eye area. This luxurious and velvety cream is supercharged with a carefully selected combination of the most advanced wrinkle-minimizing biotechnology, uniquely extracted rare African plants, antioxidant active molecules and resilient Laminaria Algae to renew skin cells, boost collagen and elastin production, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while restoring youthful density to the orbital area.

African Resurrection Plant extract – powerful antioxidant stimulates skin’s healthy collagen, elasticity and radiance. Maximises firmness with a lifting effect from Kigelia Africana, Resveratrol, Caffeine and Hibiscus extract. Evens skin tone and brightens with Vitamin C, Licorice Root, Niacinamide and CoQ10 while illuminating the eye area with Diamond Powder. Plumps and targets the appearance of wrinkles with peptides, restructuring oligosaccharides from “Blue Agave”, Hyaluronic Acid and botanical collagen booster from “Bulbine Frutescens.”

The original African Botanics Marula Résurrection Eye Crème

Directions: Warm a tiny amount of Marula Résurrection Eye Crème between your ring fingers and then gently pat it into the delicate eye area, and apply any remaining cream to your lips.

Ingredients: Aqua (Deionized Water), Sclerocarya Birrea (Marula)** Seed Oil, Cetearyl Alcohol, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter)*, Sorghum Bicolor Stalk Juice, Glycerin (Vegetable), Hydrolyzed Rice Protein (Di- and tripeptides), Hydrolyzed Myrtus Communis Leaf Extract, Calendula Officinalis (Calendula)*, Cetyl Alcohol, Yeast Beta-Glucan, Medicago Sativa (Alfalfa), Hydrolyzed Lupine Protein, Bulbine Frutescens*, Hyaluronic Acid, Butylene Glycol (Sugarcane derived), Hydrolyzed F- Fucoidan (Algae) Extract, Isoamyl Laurate, Glyceryl Oleate Citrate, Malus Domestica Fruit Cell Culture, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, Xanthan Gum, Lecithin, Ascorbyl Palmitate (Vitamin C), D-alpha Tocopherol (Vitamin E), Niacinamide (Vitmamin B3), Panthenol (Vitamin B5), Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (Vitamin C), Myrothamus Flabellifolius (Resurrection)** Plant, Ubiquinone (CoQ10), Vitis Vinifera (Grape)* Seed Oil, Rosa-Senensis (Hibiscus) Extract, Resveratrol Ferment extract, Green Coffee, Caffein, Jasmine Grandiflorum (Jasmine) Flower Oil, Adansonia Digitata (Baobab)** Seed Oil, Citrillus Lanatus (Kalahari melon)** Seed Oil, Moringa Oleifera (Moringa)** Seed Oil, Aspalathus Linearis (Green Rooibos)*, Kigelia Africana Fruit Extract*, Cyclopia Genistoides (Honeybush)*, Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Extract, Arnica Cordifolia (Arnica) Extract, Hamamelis Virginia (Witch Hazel) Extract, Hydrolyzed Hibiscus Esculentus Extract, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Malva Sylvestris (Mallow) Extract, Rosa Mosqueta (Rosehip) Seed Oil, Diamond dust, Aloe Ferox Leaf Extract*, Ethylhexylglycerin, Phenoxyethanol. *Organic, **Wild-Harvested Ingredients.

African Botanics Infinité Resurfacing Mask | Review

 Press Sample (Unaffiliated Links)

That I continually wax poetic about the wonders of African Botanics is hardly news to Lola's Secret Beauty Blog readers. To state that I deem their products the holiest of the holy grail in the realm of ultra-luxe-eco skincare– or any skincare for that matter– should also come as no surprise. I have been using their products for a few years, and they truly are peerless. Their visionary formulas have revolutionized skin and body care by continually producing cutting edge products that are healthy, effective, utilize the highest quality ingredients available, and are utterly extraordinary to use. Their quest to create healthy luxury products, with sustainably harvested indigenous ingredients from the Noik's native South Africa, has raised the bar on what it means to use luxe products without any fillers or unsafe ingredients.

Furthermore, the textures and aromas of each one of their thoughtfully conceived and executed products shows an attention to detail seldom seen, and I simply cannot sufficiently underscore the extent to which their products feel divine, and are an unmitigated joy to use. 

Their latest launch, African Botanics Infinité Resurfacing Mask, comes in an ultra-elegant and  minimalist pale green glass vessel that echoes the color of the luxurious gel-based mask housed within. Unlike most exfoliating masks that have a pungent scent, this one boasts a delectable quasi-herbal, fruity-floral aroma from which I can detect the slightest hint of Marula, Kalahari Melon and Jasmine Grandiflorum. 

African Botanics Infinité Resurfacing Mask is a multi-functional resurfacing mask that acts as a physical exfoliant, sans gritty particles, when you gently rub it into the skin (for about 2-3 minutes), but then once you allow it to dry the proprietary blend of ultra-potent Lactic Acid, Glycolic Acid, Phytic Acid and White Willow Bark effectively and efficiently exfoliate dead skin cells, refine and clear congested pores, and plump and smooth the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This ingenious blend of ingredients serves to improve elasticity, calms irritated skin with its anti-inflammatory ingredients, and it leaves skin soft, smooth, supple and luminous. It should also be noted that this potent formula effectively helps to fade hyperpigmentation, while the antioxidant-rich ingredients such as Resveratrol, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Niacinamide, Copper, Magnesium, Superoxide Dismutase protect, repair, heal and nourish the skin.

African Botanics sourced the leaf sap from the indigenous South African Bulbine Frutescens because of its unique ability to boost collagen production and therefore enhance elasticity, tone and firmness. The effects are pronounced and noticeable, and for this reason alone African Botanics Infinité Resurfacing Mask ranks among the greatest masks that I have ever tried, but that is but one of its many, many virtues.

If you have very delicate or sensitive skin, then I would initially leave it on for no more than 4-5 minutes, and rinse it off thoroughly. I was able to leave it on for a full 15 minutes the first time that I used it. While I did feel a warming effect, and a slight tingle, I neither found it uncomfortable, nor unpleasant. I use it twice a week, and have done so for about a month, and my skin looks and feels as though I received an in-office peel. With African Botanics Infinité Resurfacing Mask, however there is no necessary down-time, and there is not peeling whatsoever.

After I use African Botanics Infinité Resurfacing Mask is either use African Botanics Neroli Infused Marula Oil (Reviewed HERE) or African Botanics Fleurs d'Afrique Intensive Recovery Oil (Reviewed HERE) to nourish and smooth my post-exfoliated skin. The end result is baby soft ultra-luminous skin.

According to African Botanics,

African Botanics Infinité Resurfacing Mask is an advanced AHA + BHA multi-functional treatment formulated to rejuvenate all skin types without causing irritation or dehydration. Designed to exfoliate, clarify, decongest, brighten, increase cellular renewal, improve elasticity and add vibrant luminosity to your complexion. Dual action also enables antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, anti-inflammatory ingredients and collagen boosters to penetrate deep into epidermal layers during the treatment.

A powerful proprietary blend of potent Lactic Acid, Glycolic Acid, Phytic Acid and White Willow Bark effectively exfoliates, refines pores, plumps and smoothes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Intelligent collagen booster derived from the leaf sap of South African Bulbine Frutescens increases collagen production and enhances skin’s firmness, tone and elasticity. Infuses skin with energizing and uniquely stable Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Niacinamide, Copper, Magnesium, Superoxide Dismutase and Resveratrol rich in cell-protecting antioxidants, enhancing natural repair, healing and collagen synthesis. Plumps, firms and revives the skin with intense hydration from Sodium Hyaluronate, peptides, nutrient-rich Sea Kelp, Green Algae and water-binding saccharide molecules. Helps calm, decrease inflammation and skin irritations with precious botanicals: Yarrow, Mallow, Centella, Melissa, Arnica, Aloe Ferox, Chamomile and Jasmine. Regenerates, protects and replenishes the skin with our Distinct African Oil Complex and ultra-pure African Bush and Desert plants, rich in polyphenols, omegas, plant ceramides, lipids and amino acids.

Directions: For best results, use 1-2 times per week. Apply a thin layer to clean face and neck avoiding the eye area. Massage gently for 2-3 minutes in circular motions. Leave on skin for 5 - 15 minutes, if sensitive, up to 5 minutes. Rinse with tepid water or use a wet washcloth. Follow with a moisturiser or any appropriate African Botanics face oil. Not recommended to exceed the suggested time. Use sunscreen to prevent sun sensitivity post treatments.

Lola's Secret Beauty Blog's Top 5 Picks from African Botanics

Press Sample (Affiliate Links) 

Given my devotion to, and love of, African Botanics it should come as no surprise that it is nearly impossible for me to adhere to the rules of The Beauty Spotlight Team's Favorites post. We decided that each member would select their Top 5 Products from one of their all-time favorite brands, and while I immediately selected African Botanics, it was nearly impossible to narrow my favorite products down to a mere 5. Therefore, in order to achieve this I narrowed down the field by excluding their body care products, and instead focused on their anti-aging skincare products for the face. While I could have easily upped the number from five to all ten of their products for the face, I decided to stick to the rules. African Botanics is a cruelty-free, eco-friendly line that believes in sustainability and  handcrafted, ultra-luxe products made with the highest quality naturally sourced ingredients.

Here are my choices:

 African Botanics Fleurs d’Afrique Intensive Recovery Oil (Reviewed HERE. $250.00 for 1 oz. from African Botanics, Violet Grey, Credo Beauty, Cult Beauty, Need Supply Co. and Net-A-Porter): 

Fleurs d' Afrique is a highly concentrated luxury oil that is lightweight in texture and fast absorbing. The texture, is itself, ultra-silky and it leaves skin feeling like the softest cashmere conceived. It has an utterly intoxicating aroma that is a delectable fusion of the Jasmine Grandiflorum, Rosa Damascena Flower Oil, Kalahari Melon Seed Oil and Marula Seed Oil. It is a warm and earthy floral that delights the senses, calms the mind and nourishes the skin. This is an oil to be savored, and the tactile and sensory experience is so exquisite that one immediately slows down to really relish the experiential component of this highly effective ultra-luxe beauty oil. 

From its very inception, African Botanics Fleurs d’Afrique Intensive Recovery Oil was envisioned and conceived as a new type of antioxidant-rich, anti-inflammatory anti-aging oil– the likes of which did not yet exist. Unlike many luxury oils that add water to break down water-soluble actives, African Botanics opted not to dilute the oils, but instead utilized highly potent oil soluble actives. Furthermore, they source rare ingredients of the highest quality from remote locations, and the end result is a staggeringly unique beauty oil that easily rivals the most potent and effective anti-aging serums in the marketplace today

African Botanics Fleurs d’Afrique Intensive Recovery Oil utilizes a visionary delivery system that allows the ingredients to penetrate the skin deeply in order to effectively nourish the skin, to stimulate skin cell renewal, to restore and regenerate skin and to protect and heal. Furthermore, this unique formula softens the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while fading hyperpigmentation, and it reduces inflammation and redness.

My skin is notably different in that the overall texture is more even in tone and the small areas of light hyperpigmentation have noticeably faded. My fine lines are softened and my skin appears more taut and lifted. Furthermore, it effectively encourages skin cell-turnover to eliminate dull and dry dead skin cells in order to reveal luminous fresh skin.

This oil balances skin, and has regulated my active T-zone while simultaneously fighting redness and inflammation during my monthly hormonal cycle. I also found it remarkable that it healed a hormonal breakout overnight because of its ability to regulate hormonal skin and radically reduce inflammation.

While I do not have particularly enlarged pores, I have noted that mine are now far less noticeable. Additionally, the pores that have always been prone to clogging on my nose and chin no longer appear congested.

African Botanics claims that African Botanics Fleurs d’Afrique Intensive Recovery Oil will leave skin, "luminous, more youthful with increased firmness, elasticity and clarity" and I can attest to the veracity of this statement. This lovely oil leaves skin soft, supple, hydrated and luminous unlike anything else that I have tried.

For all skin types, including skin exposed to urban stress, pollution, harsh, dry climates, sun damage and is recommended for hormonal, inflamed, mature, unbalanced and sensitive skin.

African Botanics Intense Skin Repair Balm (Reviewed HERE. $160.00 for 2 oz. available from African Botanics, Net-A-Porter, Space NK, Bloomingdale's, Credo Beauty, Cult Beauty and Violet Grey): 

African Botanics Intense Repair Balm is an ultra-luxurious face balm, that is unlike any other beauty balms that you have experienced. It is the perfect ultra-hydrating moisturizer that immediately nourishes and hydrates the skin, reduces inflammation and redness, plumps fine lines, evens skin tone, improves elasticity, firms, and improves overall clarity.  

It is extremely concentrated, therefore a pea size amount is all that you need to use for your  entire face, neck and décolleté. Warmed between the hands or fingers, this balm transforms into an exceedingly luxurious serum that melts into the skin effortlessly. The silky texture coupled with the gorgeous aroma, that is a fusion of Jasmine Grandiflorum, Damask Rose and Bergamot, makes using this luxury balm an extraordinary sensory experience.

This nourishing and healing balm is the perfect year-round moisturizer for people with dry and dehydrated skin, but the benefits of its use are so pronounced that I use it all year long on my normal/combination skin. It soaks in the same way that a beauty oil does, and therefore is not unlike using a beauty oil because it liquefies in the same way once it is warmed up. It soaks in immediately and leaves skin unbelievably soft, supple, hydrated and luminous. If you are left with a greasy residue, then you have neither adequately warmed it up, nor have you used a small enough amount. 

Additionally, this unique formula offers healing benefits that effectively treat skin conditions such as acne (or monthly hormonal breakouts), hyperpigmentation and it softens the appearance of scars. People with sensitive, irritated, and damaged skin will be astonished by the immediate soothing and healing properties that are embodied in this potent healing elixir, and won't ever want to be without this magical balm. This is also a great post-treatment balm that immediately calms down skin that has been subjected to a peel or vigorous exfoliation. I have used it after an at-home peel, and after thorough exfoliation, and my skin immediately feels and looks better. My skin can, at times, be rather sensitive, and this balm has proven to be the perfect soothing and calming remedy for just about every skin irritation that I have experienced. It is a multipurpose balm, that boasts extraordinary efficacy, and just so happens to be the perfect face cream. It delivers moisture and nutrients more effectively than any balm that I have tried, and its texture and aroma are utterly addictive. Once you try it, I suspect that you will become as obsessed with it as I am!

African Botanics Marula Résurrection Eye Crème (Reviewed HERE. $95.00 for 0.51 oz. from African Botanics, SpaceNK and Cult Beauty): 

The texture of Résurrection Eye Crème resides somewhere between a healing balm and an eye cream thanks, in part, to the Shea Butter. However, the texture is silky smooth and ultra refined without any of the granular particles typically found in many Shea Butter based products. This lovely eye cream is healing, hydrating and restorative– leaving the delicate eye area looking refreshed, hydrated, lifted and youthful. It is incredibly concentrated– therefore the smallest amount delivers noteworthy results. A small spatula is provided in order to avoid contaminating the contents of the jar, but one needs only to scoop out the tiniest amount for both eyes.

It plumps my fine lines, lifts the skin, and gives the delicate skin of the eye area an unprecedented clarity and luminosity. On those days when I don't get enough sleep and wake up with dark circles, Résurrection Eye Crème works wonders on diminishing those unsightly reminders of fatigue-- not to mention that it makes short work of reducing unwanted under eye puffiness.

This elegant and understated eye cream can (and should) be used day and night because the results are astounding. However, it is the combination of its extraordinary efficacy, healthy potent ingredients, and its superior visceral tactile and subtle aromatherapeutic sensation that take this eye cream where none have gone before.

Skin Concerns Résurrection Eye Crème Addresses:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Stressed, dry, taut, dehydrated skin
• Redness and inflammation
• Dark circles and puffiness
