Secrets of Africa Face Oil 30ml
This face oil blend was developed as a tribute to the beautiful continent, Africa on which we live; part of our cultural heritage. For centuries the women of Africa have used these oils on their faces and bodies. These African women have always been known for their wonderful clear, blemish and wrinkle free, beautiful skins. Just think of Cleopatra and Nefertiti and the numerous beautiful women that came after them like Iman a beautiful model from Somalia.
Their secrets? The regular use of wonderful oils provided by indigenous African trees. These trees are considered so valuable and precious that for instance, in 1998 UNESCO declared the Argan Forest a biosphere reserve.

Alisia –
I know this is a facial product but let me tell you – my husband suffers from winter hands. We’ve literally tried everything on the market. Nothing helps and each winter he’s in pain. Until I started applying Secrets of Africa to his hands. He applies this every evening before bed. Of course I use this and is obsessed with it! Thank you Tannie Mariki, all your products are fantastic.
