Who would have thought a sausage tree could get rid of your wrinkles?

The Shangaan and Tonga women of the Zambezi valley have known that for centuries. They apply Kigelia fruit pulp mixed with water onto their faces to ensure a blemish-free complexion and smooth firm skin.

Savane products are inspired by the traditional knowledge of indigenous plants from the tribes/communities who first discovered their properties centuries ago. Ethical sourcing of our ingredients helps preserve this cultural heritage, and simultaneously benefit those who have shared this knowledge with us.

Savane has received approved applicant status from the Union for Ethical Biotrade, and we hope to become a full member in 2011. The fair and equitable sharing of benefits derived from the use of biodiversity and genetic resources is at the core of the UEB’s work.
