SAMA Botanics – Ethical Luxury, Clean and Sustainable Beauty
The Beauty of Resilience: Discover the Power of Four African Oils
There is a quiet strength found in nature. A resilience shaped not by noise, but by endurance. At SAMA Botanics, we honour this strength in our most precious ingredients—four exquisite oils sourced from some of Africa’s most unforgiving yet life-giving terrains. These are not just oils. They are centuries of survival. Drops of beauty. Nature’s quiet marvels.
We invite you to meet the heart of our upcoming Discovery Set: four singular oils that elevate your skin ritual and whisper of luxury, intention, and care.
Kalahari Melon Oil
The Hydration Whisperer
Grown in the dry heat of the Kalahari Desert, this featherlight oil is rich in omega-6 essential fatty acids and antioxidants. Known for its ability to deeply hydrate without clogging pores, it leaves your skin soft, supple, and utterly weightless. It’s a favourite for oily and acne-prone skin—and a miracle for balancing.
Benefits: Lightweight hydration, anti-inflammatory, balances sebum.
Texture: Silky, fast-absorbing, barely-there finish.
Ideal for: All skin types, especially combination, even oily.
Marula Oil
The Elixir
Pressed from the kernels of the marula fruit, this luxurious oil is beloved for its high oleic acid content and powerful antioxidants. It softens, smooths, and shields skin from environmental stressors while restoring elasticity.
Benefits: Nourishing, antioxidant-rich, helps reduce fine lines, softens skin texture, strengthens barrier.
Texture: Rich yet fast-absorbing, velvety feel.
Ideal for: Dry, mature, or sensitive skin.
Prickly Pear Oil
The Radiance Restorer
This rare oil is one of the most precious in the world, due to its incredibly low yield and labor-intensive production. Exceptionally high in vitamin E and linoleic acid, it brightens dull skin, fades hyperpigmentation, and supports collagen regeneration.
Benefits: Brightening, anti-aging, fades dark spots, boosts skin vitality.
Texture: Light and silky with a satin finish.
Ideal for: All skin types, especially dull, tired, or uneven skin.
African Wild/sour plum
The Skin Strengthener
Another rare oil and harvested from the fruit of wild-growing Ximenia trees, this bold oil is deeply reparative. Its rare fatty acid profile makes it ideal for fortifying the skin’s barrier, locking in moisture, and soothing irritation. It’s also revered for enhancing skin elasticity and tone.
Benefits: Moisture sealing, barrier restoring, elasticity boosting.
Texture: Rich, cushiony, luxurious.
Ideal for: Dry, depleted, or reactive skin.
Your Skin, Reimagined.
These four oils aren’t just ingredients. They are stories in a bottle—of survival, care, and quiet confidence.
Each one plays a vital role in our upcoming Discovery Set, blended in our signature face oil, as standalone rituals, and as intuitive customisers. Depending on your skin’s rhythm, the seasons, or your unique needs, one may resonate more deeply than the others. This is at the heart of SAMA’s philosophy: attuning beauty to your skin’s individual needs.
This is luxury without excess. Skincare that is in synergy. Welcome to slow beauty.
