Founded in Los Angeles

Founded by Craig and Julia Noik. One of the first luxury brands to bring South African Marula Oil to the US market — pioneering a new category of botanical skincare rooted in the extraordinary biodiversity of Southern Africa. The Pure Marula Oil remains a hero product to this day.

The Biotech Pillar

Begins formulating with advanced biotechnology — integrating bio-fermented actives, peptide complexes and biotech-enhanced delivery systems. The biotech and botanical pillars of the brand are established.

Full Range Architecture

Full range architecture in place. Approximately 40 formulas across face and body, available across the United States and select European markets. Formulated and made in South Africa to the highest GMP standards.

The Next Chapter

Introduces stem cell exosome technology — the most advanced regenerative biotech available in luxury skincare today. The next chapter of a decade-long biotech story.

OUR SKINCARE PHILOSOPHY

Science that listens to skin. Botanicals that adapt.

African Botanics was built on a single conviction: that the most effective skincare begins where exceptional ingredients meet the science precise enough to unlock them. For over a decade we have formulated at the intersection of bio-adaptive botanical intelligence and regenerative biotechnology — two systems that, when combined with precision, produce visible change that neither achieves alone. The result is Bio-Adaptive Regeneration: high-performance formulas where every active, every concentration and every formula decision is held to the same uncompromising standard. Skincare that works with your biology rather than against it.

EXPLORE THE INGREDIENTS

Regenerative Biotechnology

The next frontier in skin renewal is cellular.

African Botanics formulates with a curated arsenal of advanced biotech actives — each selected for its ability to work at a cellular level, at concentrations that botanical extraction alone cannot achieve. These are not supporting ingredients. They are the primary drivers of visible, lasting change in the skin.

Stem Cell Exosomes

[ Biotech Active ]

Regenerative signals that communicate directly with skin cells to trigger renewal from within.

Signal Peptides

[ Biotech Active ]

Messenger molecules that instruct the skin to produce collagen and elastin at a cellular level.

Bio-Optimized Collagen Peptides

[ Biotech Active ]

Precisely structured peptides that rebuild collagen architecture from within the skin matrix.

Beta-Glucan

[ Biotech Active ]

Biotech-derived active that strengthens the microbiome, fortifies barrier integrity and accelerates recovery.

Phyto-Ceramides

[ Biotech Active ]

Plant-derived lipids that restore barrier integrity and the skin's natural moisture retention capacity.

Micro & Macro Algae Complex

[ Biotech Active ]

Marine biotech actives with anti-wrinkle, anti-inflammatory and cellular energy support properties.

Bio-Fermented Minerals

[ Biotech Active ]

Essential micronutrients bio-fermented for superior skin bioavailability and cellular metabolic support.

Bio-Fermented Peptides

[ Biotech Active ]

Peptides enhanced through fermentation for greater skin penetration and bioavailability.

Bio-Adaptive Botanicals

Where the world's most biodiverse ecosystems meet the skin.

Rooted in South Africa's extraordinary ecosystems — among the most biodiverse environments on earth — every African Botanics formula draws on botanical extracts whose adaptive capacity has been encoded over millennia. Plants that survive complete desiccation and revive. Species shaped by UV intensities that would destroy most living things. Botanicals that carry within them an adaptive intelligence that cannot be synthesized — only sourced.
