[unpaid/sample] Finding a new brand often starts with trying out their cleanser. The Amina Cleansing Oil by Eko Botanicals caught my attention, leading me to explore more of their products. Eko Botanicals, designed for the mid-life and older skin, aims to address issues like pigmentation, dehydration, and suppleness. The founder, Apinke Efiong, incorporates plant oils from both African and British farms, drawing on her African heritage.
I came across a brand, 456 Skin, which caters to melanin-rich skin, indicating a growing trend in specialized skincare. Inspired by the lack of options for her own mature and darker skin, Apinke created products suited to her needs. Her great grandfather, a botanist at Kew Gardens, inspired her to fill this gap in the market.
Eko Botanicals products are rich in beneficial ingredients like papaya, tamanu, moringa, and kalahari melon oils, with the Nefertiti Radiance Botanical Serum containing over 30 botanical extracts. The luxurious formulations encourage a mindful skincare ritual through their naturally fragranced products. These items incorporate well-known skincare ingredients such as aloe vera, green tea oil, and hyaluronic acid, blended with nourishing oils.
