African Beauty Brands Are Getting Better And Better

African beauty brands are rocking it. Their all natural lines from raw ingredients and domestic plants are something out of this world. Exotic and refreshing, we think that the future of make up is in the motherland of humans. Collecting ancient knowledge passed down by generations that includes exotic plants and combinations, the market is worth more than ten billion USD.

We wanted to compile a small list and a guide on what makes these products so different, so let’s head right into it.

Africa had it rough. It is still one of most undeveloped continents in the world, but also one of the fastest growing ones. Their culture was pushed back through the 19th and 20th century. The lack of investors and money has held back many companies and individuals, but as the money flows in, as the world gets more connected, Africa is becoming a giant in it’s own category and the beauty field is no exception.

With the coming of scientific methods and more advanced facilities, African beauty brands have harnessed the immense power of the most luscious land on the planet. A certain uniqueness encompasses everything that has a connection the land  and there is so much to be discovered.

The following brands drive their power from nature, from the immense plant life that has many healing properties. All this was known for generations and these stories of the healing properties of plants were passed down from mouth to mouth by shamans and tribe leaders. These powerful plants can help off fighting bacteria and help healing processes. High in vitamins, minerals and all that good stuff, African beauty companies want to harness all this and present it on a global market.
