KEY INGREDIENTS

1. Jojoba Esters & Silica (The Gentle Polish Complex)
   A biodegradable, spherical exfoliant that softens as it buffs - jojoba esters lift away dulling debris without the micro-tearing associated with harsh physical scrubs, while silica adds a fine, refining polish. Gentle enough for sensitised skin, effective enough to leave the complexion visibly smoother.
2. Ancient African Oil Complex (Marula, Baobab, Kalahari Melon, Moringa, Foraha, Yangu & Rosehip)
   A prestigious blend of seven 'Living Gold' extracts, each hand-selected for a distinct role: fast-absorbing Marula and lightweight Kalahari Melon prevent heaviness; antioxidant-rich Baobab and oxidative-stable Moringa protect and restore; soothing Foraha and rare, luxury-grade Yangu calm and condition; while Rosehip's linoleic-acid-rich profile supports brightening and regeneration. Together, they replenish essential lipids stripped by daily environmental stress.
3. Aromatic Botanical Trio (African Immortelle, Rose Geranium & Buchu)
   A signature AFRAKARI accord built from three Southern African leaf oils. African Immortelle carries a traditional reputation for calming and regenerative care; Rose Geranium offers a balancing, mildly astringent note; and Buchu - a distinctive Cape botanical - is prized in folklore use for its anti-inflammatory character and unmistakable scent signature.

As a Polish: Massage a generous amount onto damp skin in gentle, circular motions for 30–60 seconds, allowing the jojoba and silica particles to buff away dullness. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
As a Mask: Apply a thicker, even layer to clean, dry skin. Leave for 10–15 minutes to allow the African oil complex to absorb fully, then tissue-off or rinse with lukewarm water.
Pro Tip: Use as a polish 2–3 times weekly, or reserve for a weekly intensive mask ritual before your evening AFRAKARI routine.
