These were myself Ruth the founder & formulator notes - a little over the top but that is the vibe for bringing the best for your skin 😉 

"The vision -  bathed in golden hour sunlight whilst looking over the hazy Kalahari Desert gentle wind, feet firmly grounded, totally and confidently standing at home in yourself. 

Housed mainly in Botswana but saddling Namibia and South Africa the Kalahari desert, is name comes from the Tswana word for "a waterless place" - where the Kalahari melon is survives the effects of climate change. The seeds of the melon are pressed to create a nutritiously dense oil full of skin loving essential fatty acids and vitamins. This is where this formulation begins.
