Haylo Botanicals is introducing a luxurious range of heritage face oils. This exclusive collection, inspired by the legacy of African botanicals, offers multifunctional solutions that align with the highest standards of self-care.
Driven by a passion for natural beauty, founder Wendy Viola embarked on a journey to find alternatives to many mainstream skincare products. Her exploration led to the rediscovery of Africa’s potent oils and active botanicals, celebrated through the centuries for their skin-nourishing and protective properties. This journey culminated in the creation of Haylo Botanicals, embodying the principle of “skinalism” – a minimalist approach to luxury, where functional simplicity and pure beauty meet.
“Our products are deeply rooted in African tradition, using heritage ingredients such as rosehip, baobab, marula, mongongo, yangu, Kalahari melon seed, argan, ximenia, and Acmella oleracea, also known as ‘nature’s botulinum toxin’. These ingredients are scientifically proven to rejuvenate and protect the skin, delivering luxurious, multitasking solutions that simplify and elevate the skincare routine,” explains Viola.
“Haylo Botanicals celebrates African ingredients that deserve recognition in the beauty industry. We have fulfilled our promise of opulent simplicity by incorporating the continent’s heritage oils and formulations, offering skincare benefits that often exceed those of contemporary moisturisers,” Viola continues.
Haylo Botanicals’ facial oils are crafted to simplify daily skincare routines, offering multifunctional benefits:
- Renew Drops facial oil enhances elasticity, tone, and texture while reducing fine lines and wrinkles, and protecting against free radical damage.
- Glow Drops facial oil supports a daily youthful glow by reducing inflammation and pigmentation, improving texture, and leaving the skin soft and supple. The skin smoothing properties create an excellent base for the application of make-up.
- Revive Drops facial oil acts as a booster and natural healing balm for sensitive, problematic, or dry skin. It subtly soothes, calms, and moisturises while evening out imperfections, skin tone, and texture.
In tribute to the African landscape, the company prioritises sustainability. Its products are 100% natural, vegan, cruelty-free, plant-based, and waterless. “We source organic ingredients whenever possible, and use recyclable and reusable packaging,” says Viola. Produced in a GMP and Soil/COSMOS-approved facility, the quality and traceability of every element are assured.
The range also includes eco-friendly accessories such as Face Glows, reusable cleansing and make-up remover pads that can be used up to 200 times and replace up to 500 disposable cotton pads. Additionally, the Gua Sha, or Gua Sha and Roller Set, contours the face, neck, and décolletage, enhancing lymph drainage, collagen production, and overall skin health.
Haylo Botanicals’ facial oils are available from R1 195 per 30ml bottle, with accessories priced between R140 and R540.
