Soothing

Calms redness, irritation, and inflammation. Your skin's chill pill — great for sensitive, reactive, or post-procedure skin.

Traditional Use

A caffeine-free herbal tea from South Africa traditionally consumed for general wellness and used topically for skin irritation and inflammation. The plant's use in skincare modernized in the 1990s when its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties were scientifically documented.
