The story behind the product

Since launching in 2017, with an idea that was conceived from her passion to create organic skin care products that are 100 per cent natural, clean and unadulterated, founder Tessa Frazer knew she could inspire and uplift people in a meaningful way. As an enthusiastic environmentalist with a background in horticulture, she spent years doing research and investigating all the plant oils to identify their potential benefits.

Her brand has a commitment to ethical, transparent, and sustainable practices. From the beginning, her vision was to create high-quality natural products and to empower communities at the source.

By partnering with small-scale farmers and local producers, she can ensure the ingredients are clean, ethically grown, and sustainably harvested. Her brand was born from a simple mission: to source the purest botanical oils and essences from East Africa while engaging directly with smallholders to ensure uncompromised quality and to deliver the product as an accessible and elegant range.

Tessa Frazer runs a one-woman business and explains that Kenya is most fortunate in having so many tropical plants and that they are all completely traceable, so she can track every ingredient back to its source. It is not just about healthy skin; it is about the feeling of using products that are both effective and ethically sourced, which is where her range truly excels.

Nature’s Elixir for Body and Soul

If you are curious about what sets this brand apart in a sea of skincare sameness, let me share my personal experience with this product that is sourced from the earth, crafted with love and infused with the essence of botanicals.

From the first time I twisted open one of their glass bottles, which was weighty, substantial and elegantly designed, I was enthralled with the beautiful packaging and captivating scent. There is something undeniably luxurious about the amber-hued vessels that felt like a small act of self-care every time I reached for them.

Rich in botanical extracts, their formulas are brimming with things like baobab oil, avocado oil, moringa oil, rosehip seeds, sea buckthorn, black cumin seeds, coconut oil, jojoba oil and other skin-loving goodness that includes essential oils like lavender and frankincense, shea butter, beeswax, honey, and propolis.

I enjoyed the velvety softness of every oil, butter and blend that nourished my body without unnecessary additives, preservatives, or harsh chemicals.

Each product allowed my skin to bloom, feeling soft, smooth and supple with the richness of its natural origins. My often-sensitive skin felt calm and soothed, unlocking a radiant wellness.

From Earth’s Pantry to your Skin

Oils are just one of Wild Earth Botanics’ products; they also make facial and body blends, balms, pure butters, bath soaps and even organic room sprays.

With a rich range of forty unique and exclusive products, I have chosen to highlight just a few of the natural aromatherapy, hydration and anti-age options that impressed me.

Baobab Oil – I allowed myself to get lost in the sensation of various botanical oils, with one of my favourites being the gentle and soothing Baobab oil. The luxurious softness of this oil deeply nourishes, moisturises, has anti-inflammatory properties and is rich in vitamins and fatty acids that help lock in moisture, which calmed my skin. The nutty scent of baobab oil is grounding and promotes a sense of relaxational. This exotic oil is associated with high-end skincare as it is unique, being rare and unusual, although in Africa, it has been used for centuries in traditional medicine and skincare.

Nourishing Mango Butter-The scent of the mango butter will transport you to a tropical paradise and is a delicious anti-ageing skin food. It is light, non-greasy, creamy, and highly moisturising, making it an ideal choice for dry or sensitive skin. It has unique softening and moisturising abilities as well as regenerative properties. The anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of mango butter help to repair the skin’s barrier and help to repair the skin’s barrier and improve its overall health.

Anti-Age Face Balm: I used this velvety, non-greasy face balm for a month and noticed positive changes to my skin. It locks in moisture that nourishes deeply, leaving my skin calm, balanced, and glowing with health. The balm is velvety with a lightweight texture that hydrates without feeling heavy.

This lovely balm is made with a base of shea butter, rosehip seed oil, baobab and sea buckthorn oil. This blend also helps to improve my skin tone and is known to prevent wrinkles, hydrate and boost collagen production.

Face and Body Mist- My impression of this face and body mist is that it stands out among the natural mists I have tried, mainly because of its subtle floral scent, which was calming, and it absorbs quickly, making it easy to use over makeup. With my sensitive skin, I can recommend this mist as it is non-irritating and has such a hydrating feel, so I found myself using it throughout the day as it felt like a mini aromatherapy session, which was very relaxing. The natural ingredients of Neroli, Lavender, and Frankincense are calming and perfect for daily skincare.

Using the luxury botanical products was a sensorial escape that allowed me to reconnect with nature.

Trusting nature to do the work on my skin has been a game-changer as every product is a plant-based superpower. Rooted in the heart of Kenya, Wild Earth Botanics harvests the purest botanicals for transformative skincare and holistic wellness.

Treat yourself and delve into a journey of natural wellness and experience the untamed beauty of Kenya in every bottle. Indulge in the wisdom of the wild with a symphony of rare floral and earthy notes, made with the finest ingredients from the pure, wild earth.
