The power of pH and the ecosystem of skin care
Ethical. Organic. Science-based. Powered by a life-enhancing business philosophy and a deep understanding of what the ecosystem of the skin really craves, Terres d’Afrique skin care was developed to create calm and balance in the skin – and for the benefits to go much deeper.
Terres d’Afrique solutions, packaged in a modern, sustainably designed collection, have been meticulously crafted by community-minded botanist, Stephan Helary.
“Every Terres d’Afrique product is designed to work with the skin, and it starts with pH,” he says. “We formulate with the aim of restoring the natural balance of your skin’s ecosystem (the acid mantle), which will reduce dehydration, prevent environmental toxins from penetrating the skin and reduce inflammation. Terres d’Afrique is able to achieve this because the pH is identical to the skin’s pH and it has a very high concentration of omegas.”
Exquisitely crafted formulations harness powerful antioxidants and essential fatty acids from potent indigenous African botanicals, with decent percentages of Fair Trade and organic, wherever possible. Terres d'Afrique opens up a world of skin experiences that includes cleansing, hydrating and anti-ageing treatments using traditional African ingredients like rooibos, baobab and kigelia.
“Acquiring raw ingredients from African communities has injected life into places that need it. In this way, we close the loop on the concept of feeling good about your skin – the effect and the consciousness go much deeper,” explains the mindful scientist and product innovator.
