African Botanics

Where the science begins.

The Cape Floristic Region is one of the most biodiverse places on earth — home to plants that have evolved extraordinary survival intelligence over millennia. This is the landscape that inspires everything we make.

The African Botanics Moisturizing Exosome Gel is a lightweight serum-gel hybrid suited for acne-prone, oily, combination, sensitive, and post-procedure skin. Absorbs instantly without weight or residue. Formulated with plant-derived stem cell exosomes, Bio-Optimized Collagen Hexapeptide P6, Polyglutamic Acid, Resurrection Plant, and 3 Essential Ceramides. Ideal for warm and humid climates, layering under SPF, and use morning and evening. Where cellular science meets botanical wisdom.

Signal. Build. Hydrate. Strengthen.

Four functions. One formula. Swipe to see the system behind the Moisturizing Exosome Gel.

The Moisturizing Exosome Gel is built around four distinct functions — each supported by a targeted set of actives, each working independently and in synergy.

Signal — Stem Cell Exosomes + B Vitamins, working at the level where cellular renewal begins.

Build — Bio-Optimized Collagen Hexapeptide P6, selected to support the appearance of skin structure and firmness over time.

Hydrate — Polyglutamic Acid + Botanical Glycerin, providing deep sustained moisture and supporting the skin's own capacity to retain it.

Strengthen — Resurrection Plant, Ceramides, Bulbinella Leaf + Aloe Ferox, selected for their natural resilience and bio-adaptive properties.

A regenerative system — designed to Signal, Build, Hydrate, and Strengthen.

Exosomes are bioactive nano-messengers naturally produced by stem cells — carrying proteins, lipids, and growth signals that instruct surrounding cells to repair and renew.

In skincare, plant-derived exosomes mimic this biological communication, delivering targeted regenerative signals directly where the skin needs them most. They don't sit at the surface. They activate in the deeper dermal layers — where renewal actually happens.

In the Moisturizing Exosome Gel, stem cell exosomes work as the delivery system for the entire formula — signaling cellular renewal, supporting collagen production, calming inflammation, and building barrier resilience with each application.

Not a surface treatment. A conversation with your skin's own biology.

The Resurrection Plant — Myrothamnus flabellifolius — is a small woody shrub native to the rocky outcrops of southern Africa.

It can lose up to 95% of its water content, entering a state of complete desiccation, and fully revive on contact with water. It does not simply retain moisture. It rebuilds its capacity to function from within.

In the Moisturizing Exosome Gel, Resurrection Plant extract works alongside plant-derived stem cell exosomes to trigger the skin's own regenerative response — restoring hydration and resilience not at the surface, but at the cellular level.

This is what regenerative hydration means in practice. Skin that doesn't just feel replenished today — but functions better over time.

Four functions. Designed to work simultaneously.

Signal — support cellular renewal at the source.
Build — support the appearance of structure and firmness.
Defend — six actives broadening and reinforcing the skin's antioxidant environment.
Renew — bio-adaptive botanicals supporting the skin's own adaptive resilience.

A regenerative system, working as one.

Introducing the Moisturizing Exosome Gel.

Most moisturizers work at the surface. This one works at a cellular level — improving how skin functions over time, not just how it feels today.

Powered by plant-derived stem cell exosomes, Bio-Optimized Hexapeptide P6, and Africa's most resilient botanicals.

Vitamin C is the foundation. What surrounds it determines how far it goes.

Ferulic Acid — one of Vitamin C's most important formulation partners. Selected to help stabilise the antioxidant complex and broaden its protective reach.

Superoxide Dismutase — an antioxidant enzyme that complements the formula's defense environment in a way that familiar antioxidants alone cannot.

Resveratrol — a polyphenol selected for its association with skin resilience and a more even, luminous complexion over time.

Coenzyme Q10 — a naturally occurring compound that helps support the broader environment in which the skin's renewal processes take place.

Not a single antioxidant. An architecture.

A serum works best when it is part of a considered routine.
The Advanced Vitamin C + Multi-Peptides Serum was formulated to fit precisely within the African Botanics regimen — layered thoughtfully, working together as a system.
Skincare is not a single product decision.
It is a practice.
