Under the Sun has based their range on these exciting African extracts:

Marula:

An African treasure, Marula oil is believed to be a sacred gift from the spirits… Marula has been used in Africa for thousands of years for its deeply moisturizing, nourishing properties.

Kigelia Africana:

The “Sausage Tree” grows on riverbanks in Africa. Kigelia’s fruit replenishes skin and stimulates healthy cell growth. Used traditionally by African tribal women for even, flawless skin tone, Kigelia is a must for sun-damaged skin.

Buchu:

One of the rarest herbs in the world, Buchu is known by locals as a “cure-all.” The herb is packed with antioxidants for healthy, glowing skin, and its refreshing, revitalizing fragrance energizes the senses!

Honeybush & Rooibos:

Prized in Africa as rich sources of powerful antioxidants and naturally occurring Alpha Hydroxy acids, Honeybush and Rooibos (Red Bush) protect your skin from the signs of ageing, improving texture and firmness, and smoothing fine lines.  

Inkomfe:

Known as the “African Potato,” Inkomfe is renowned in African history as a source of stamina and strength. The great Zulu warrior Shaka Zulu gave Inkomfe to his men before battle, and legend says his men remained powerful, alert and unimpaired by illness!
