The hero of our Afari Skincare formulations is Bulbine frutescens, a resilient,
indigenous succulent that thrives in the arid valleys of southern Africa.
Revered for generations, its gel-like sap is celebrated for its soothing and
anti-inflammatory properties, traditionally used to heal and rejuvenate the
skin.
Recent scientific research has clinically proven the sap’s benefits
in stimulating collagen synthesis, a critical process that helps maintain the
skin’s structure, firmness, and elasticity. By boosting collagen production,
the sap not only supports the skin’s natural repair mechanisms but also helps
reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, promoting a smoother, more
youthful-looking complexion. This enhanced collagen production is essential for
preserving skin’s resilience and hydration, ensuring long-term vitality and a
radiant, healthy glow.
Key benefits of Bulbine
frutescens:
- 100% increase in facial collagen density
- 138% improvement of elasticity and firmness on the neck and
around the eye area - 74% reduction in wrinkles around the eye area, one hour
after use
Afari proudly sources Bulbine frutescens from an
organic farm in rural Limpopo, South Africa, where it is sustainably grown by a
team of female producers. Every Afari product sold directly supports these
women, contributing to their livelihoods and empowerment.
