At Natura Africa, we believe that some of the world’s most powerful skincare ingredients can be found in Africa’s rich and diverse flora. Two of these hidden gems—Bulbinella extract and Kigelia—are not only integral to traditional African skincare practices but are also scientifically proven to bring remarkable benefits to modern skincare routines. In fact, we've harnessed these natural wonders in several of our products. Let's explore why Bulbinella and Kigelia should be part of your daily beauty regimen.
Bulbinella Extract: A Soothing Skin Healer
Bulbinella, a succulent native to Southern Africa, has long been used for its healing properties. Traditionally applied to burns, wounds, and insect bites, it’s now making waves in skincare due to its calming and hydrating effects on the skin.
Key Benefits of Bulbinella Extract:
Calms and Soothes Sensitive Skin: If you experience redness, irritation, or sensitive skin, Bulbinella extract is your go-to. Its anti-inflammatory properties work to soothe irritated skin and reduce discomfort, making it perfect for sensitive skin types.
Boosts Skin Healing: Bulbinella promotes the regeneration of skin cells, accelerating the healing process for acne scars, minor burns, and other skin imperfections. It acts as a natural repair agent, restoring your skin’s natural glow.
Hydrates and Protects: With its natural hydrating properties, Bulbinella helps retain moisture in the skin, giving it a supple and soft feel. It also forms a protective barrier, shielding your skin from environmental stressors.
Where to Find Bulbinella in Natura Africa Products
At Natura Africa, we’ve infused Bulbinella extract into two of our most beloved products:
Sensitive Facial Soap: Specially formulated for those with delicate skin, our sensitive facial soap combines the gentle, soothing power of Bulbinella to cleanse without stripping your skin of essential moisture.
Facial Mist: Our refreshing facial mist harnesses Bulbinella's hydrating properties to provide an instant boost of moisture while calming irritated skin, making it ideal for daily use or as a quick pick-me-up throughout the day.
Kigelia: The Firming, Youth-Enhancing Secret
Kigelia africana, commonly known as the sausage tree, is native to sub-Saharan Africa. Its fruit has been used for centuries to treat various skin conditions, and recent research confirms its potent benefits for firming, toning, and rejuvenating the skin.
Key Benefits of Kigelia:
Firms and Tightens Skin: Kigelia’s powerful firming properties make it a popular ingredient for mature skin. It helps to improve skin elasticity, reducing the appearance of fine lines and sagging areas, leaving your complexion looking more youthful and toned.
Brightens and Evens Out Skin Tone: Hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone are common concerns, and Kigelia offers a natural solution. It brightens the skin, fades dark spots, and promotes a more even complexion, giving your skin a smooth, radiant glow.
Protects Against Free Radical Damage: Rich in antioxidants, Kigelia helps to neutralize free radicals that can lead to premature aging, making it a great protective ingredient for daily use.
Where to Find Kigelia in Natura Africa Products
We’ve incorporated the skin-boosting benefits of Kigelia into our Rejuvenating Facial Mask, a luxurious treatment that helps to lift, firm, and revitalize tired or aging skin. Regular use of this mask will leave your skin feeling toned, refreshed, and glowing with health.
