Eko Botanicals

Embracing the healing power of plants, Eko Botanicals’ luxury line of multi-tasking skincare is powered by ancient rituals and a deep affinity to nature. Using clean botanical ingredients sourced from African and British farms, the high-performing, potent blends are enriched with the finest quality natural oils and extracts to rejuvenate tired and maturing skin. This enriching collection includes a serum, face oil, cleansing oil, and two travel-friendly gift sets.

Celebrating ancient wisdom

Eko Botanicals’ radiance-boosting blends are carefully produced over many months using tested ancient rituals from Egypt and beyond, to deliver skin-friendly formulas that heal, revive and replenish. These are rituals our ancestors inherited and passed on that carry a wealth of wisdom surrounding natural medicinal properties; rituals that utilise and respect all that Mother Nature has to offer. From anti-inflammatory Green Tea to nourishing Kalahari Melon Seed Oil, every ingredient has been carefully selected to provide beneficial results for all skin types.

Are Eko Botanicals products organic?

Yes. Eko Botanicals' skincare line uses organic and wildly grown ingredients that are sourced directly from sustainable growers, using 100% transparent methods. The formulations are naturally rich in key vitamins, nutrients and minerals, and are free from harmful chemicals, parabens, silicones and artificial fragrances, so you get only the purest blends.

Sustainability pledge

All Eko Botanicals products are packaged in recycled glass bottles with fully recyclable plastic closures, while FSC-certified card is used for all boxes, to protect biological diversity. And by using violet glass bottles, just as the Ancient Egyptians stored their healing remedies in violet vessels, the potency and shelf life of the precious formulations are well-preserved, so you can get the most out of them. 

Eko Botanicals have partnered with One Tree Planted, which means that with each product purchased, a tree is planted. They are also proud to support CAMFED, which works to support marginalised girls in Sub-Saharan Africa to attend school and thrive in their communities.

A brand rich in heritage

Brand founder Apinke struggled to find effective natural skincare products that worked for her maturing, melanin skin. After trialling many natural and high-end brands, yet feeling that her skin still lacked the nourishment it needed, she decided to fill the gap in the market herself, with a small, yet powerful line of multitasking routine essentials.

"Long before modern medicine, our ancestors relied on the miracle healing power of heritage African plants and trees to heal our bodies, minds and spirits."

EKÓ, meaning farm or settlement, is the original name given by the first settlers to Lagos, the old capital city of Nigeria. It represents Apinke’s rich heritage, while also symbolising the clean, green ingredients that enrich each powerful formula. With a wealth of knowledge inherited from her grandfather, a botanist at the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew, together with her passion for nature that started with her morning walks to school in Lagos, Apinke has managed to create a range of products that work in harmony with the skin's natural barrier, delivering unparalleled, long-lasting results.
