Question 1

Can I use oil-based products for oily/combination skin?

Accepted Answer

While it may seem counterintuitive, using oil-based products can actually be beneficial for oily/combination skin types. This is because oily skin is often the result of the skin producing excess sebum to compensate for dryness. Using an oil-based product can help to balance the skin's natural oil production and prevent it from overproducing sebum.

That being said, not all oils are created equal and some can be more comedogenic (pore-clogging) than others. It's important to choose non-comedogenic oils like jojoba, rosehip, and kalahari melon oil, which are less likely to cause breakouts.

It's also important to use oil-based products in moderation and in combination with other products that suit your skin type. For example, you can use an oil-based cleanser to remove makeup and dirt, but follow up with a gentle, water-based cleanser to ensure all residue is removed.

Question 2

Are Natura Africa products safe during pregnancy/breastfeeding?

Accepted Answer

Despite being derived from plants and considered natural, essential oils  are potent ingredients. Although our products contain essential oils in  a safe dilution, it is advisable to always consult with your doctor before  using any products that contain essential oils during pregnancy or while  breastfeeding, to ensure safety.

Question 3

Can I use Natura Africa Products on babies or infants?

Accepted Answer

Despite being natural, essential oils are potent ingredients. Our  products contain essential oils in a safe dilution, but it is important  to consult with your doctor before using any products that contain  essential oils on babies and infants, to ensure safety.

Question 4

What is the best way to store Natura Africa products?

Accepted Answer

As our products are free from chemical preservatives and made with fresh  ingredients, we recommend storing them in a location that is shielded  from sunlight or heat sources. Essential oils and fatty acids are  sensitive to high temperatures and UV light, so it's best to store them  in a dark cupboard to ensure they are well-protected.

Question 5

My balm/whipped shea butter/lip Balm has melted, is it still safe to use?

Accepted Answer

Due to the absence of additives, our balms are prone to melting at  higher temperatures. However, rest assured that they remain safe and  effective to use even when melted. In case they do melt, simply  refrigerate them until they solidify again. We advise keeping the balms  in a cool spot away from direct sunlight to prevent melting.

Question 6

Can I use Natura Africa products in conjunction with other skincare products?

Accepted Answer

Indeed. Botanical oils have a unique ability to permeate through the  lipid layer of the skin, making them more effective carriers for active  ingredients to reach deeper levels of the epidermis than water-based  products. When used in combination with other skincare treatments, oils  can enhance their efficacy by enabling the active ingredients to work  more effectively.

Question 7

How do I store my Natura Africa products?

Accepted Answer

We recommend storing our products in a dark cupboard because they are  made without chemical preservatives and are fresh. Our products contain  sensitive essential oils and fatty acids that are not tolerant to high  temperatures and UV light, so it's best to keep them away from sunlight  or heat sources.

Question 8

Are Natura Africa products tested on animals?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely not! Natura Africa skincare products (and also the raw ingredients) are never tested on animals. Our products undergo testing only on willing family and friends.

Question 9

Do our products contain any animal components or by-products?

Accepted Answer

No, our products are vegan and do not contain any animal components or by-products.
