Founder
SAMA Botanics is the brain child of Nafisa, a South African born in Port Elizabeth (now Gqeberha) in the Eastern Cape of South Africa during the apartheid era. Nafisa’s aim is to offer you naturally derived products from sustainable sources, responsibly packaged to reduce negative impact on the planet and to actively contribute to the African economy and future in a positive way.
