Product Description
An ancient beauty secret designed to put the bounce back where it is needed, Kigelia Africana has long been used by South African women to maintain firmness of skin and bust. These women collect the ripe fruits from the long vines of the trees. They dry the seeds, sometimes fermenting them before crushing them into a fine powder which they then apply on their skin. The wonder fruit, also called “sausage fruit”, has powerful anti-aging and calming properties, which include potent plant sterols, kigelinone, caffeic acid and flavones. These plant sterols work synergistically in a bottle of Kigelia Firming Gel to bring the bounce back to sagging skin, as well as address other skin conditions. In a base of pure aloe vera juice, Kigelia Firming Gel also makes a great daily moisturizer. Apply this gel to your face daily to retain skin elasticity and reverse the effects that aging and gravity have to sagging skin.
Tammie Umbel, Shea Terra’s founder, has been exploring remote villages throughout Africa for the rarest, power-packed ingredients on the planet since 2000. Shea Terra works with indigenous tribes to discover these potent ancestral plants and minerals and offers these Superhero Ingredients through our concentrated formulas.
Kigelia Africana
Also known as the sausage fruit, kigelia Africana is a potent fruit extract building new pathways in the skincare industry. Kigelia is known to have anti-melanoma properties and is revered in Africa as a remedy for sun damage. Applied directly, the fruit pulp is used as a skin tightening agent. It also calms and soothes skin irritations caused by rashes and other skin conditions.
African Aloe
Protected under CITES (a multilateral treaty to protect endangered plants and animals), this rare species of aloe is considered the world’s most active. It is brimming with amino acids, phytosterols, as well as over 100 other constituents. It is also rich in antioxidants. African Aloe has amazing healing properties. It can speed the recovery of acne spots, and when applied to burns it can take the sting out within minutes. African Aloe also offers deep cell hydration.
Rose Hips
Rose hips oil’s healing properties are due to its chemical structure. It is one of the richest plant sources of vitamin C. It’s also packed with vitamin A and fatty acids, such as trans-retinoic acid. This makes rose hips oi great at treating signs of aging and pigmentation, hydrating skin and repairing sun damage. Because of its skin regenerative effects, acne and scar sufferers have seen significant improvement with use of rose hips oil.
Marula
Marula oil is valued for its nutritive, skin restoring properties. Rich in oleic acid and antioxidants, this oil helps to repair sun damaged, aging skin while forming a moisture loss barrier.
Since 2000, Shea Terra has been on a quest for natural beauty wisdom throughout Africa, exploring remote villages, trekking through miles of desert on camel back, and sailing into the depths of Nubia. Our journey has allowed us to tap into a wealth of indigenous knowledge and share these remote beauty secrets with the world. Through our diverse line of skin and hair care products, you can embark on this journey of beauty wisdom with us.
An Ancient Secret to Firmness and Anti-Aging from African Women
An ancient beauty secret designed to put the bounce back where it is needed, Kigelia Africana is a potent fruit extract, which has long been used by South African women for medicinal and cosmetic applications. This amazing fruit is still fairly uncommon in the western market but it is already building new pathways in the skincare industry. The fruits are sausage-shaped, hence coined “sausage fruit”. These fruits are collected from the long vines of the kigelia trees. The seeds are then dried, sometimes fermented before being crushed into a fine powder, which the African women will then wear on their skin.
Kigelia is revered by African women for its ability to maintain skin and bust firmness. It has powerful anti-aging and calming properties, which include potent plant sterols, kigelinone, caffeic acid and flavones that offer a host of skin benefits.
