Our botanicals
Welcome to our section dedicated to bespoke African botanical compounds, meticulously crafted for discerning clients seeking unparalleled quality and efficacy. Below, you can explore examples of unique formulations we have developed, but please know that each project begins with the understanding that your requirements are entirely unique.
Our expertise lies in seamlessly integrating the richness of nature with rigorous scientific innovation, ensuring the compounds we create for you are perfectly tailored to your brands vision and performance needs.
TriAct™
Velden TriAct™ is a scientifically balanced botanical compound designed for advanced skincare formulations targeting firmness, even tone, and visible rejuvenation. The synergy of Kigelia africana fruit extract, Rosehip oil, and Marula oil delivers a potent combination of bioactive flavonoids, omega fatty acids, and antioxidants. Kigelia’s naturally firming and anti-inflammatory properties help improve skin elasticity and reduce the appearance of uneven pigmentation, while Rosehip oil, rich in trans-retinoic acid and linolenic acid, supports cell renewal and brightens the complexion. Marula oil provides deep hydration and barrier repair through its high oleic and tocopherol content. Together, these ingredients create a multifunctional compound ideal for serums, creams, and treatment oils aimed at restoring vitality, tone, and youthful resilience to the skin.
NatSol™
Velden NatSol™ is a precision-engineered, standardized, and purified complex combining rosehip, Aloe ferox, baobab botanicals with micronized zinc oxide to deliver broad-spectrum UV protection plus post-sun repair in one integrated system. In sun exposure, the zinc oxide layer provides a physical shield (reflecting, scattering, and absorbing UVA/UVB) while the botanicals act as secondary photoprotectants, antioxidants, and repair boosters. During and after UV stress, the blend mitigates oxidative damage, supports barrier recovery, and soothes inflammation. Its standardized formulation ensures batch consistency and minimized pro-oxidant residues, making it suitable for stable sunscreen/emulsion systems. NatSol™ is designed for cosmetic developers aiming to deliver a high-performance “sun + heal” proposition in one elegant INCI stack.
RubyM™
Velden RubyM™ is a fully standardized, purified botanical compound blending rosehip, myrothamnus and baobab actives in a chemically balanced matrix. This triple-botanical complex is optimized for stability (minimized free radical precursors, chelator control, matched polarity) and is delivered in a form reproducible batch to batch. RubyM™ harnesses high levels of antioxidants, phenolics, and essential fatty acids, while excluding bulk non-actives to reduce oxidative load. In skin formulations, RubyM™ affords robust protection, visible resilience under stress (UV, thermal, metal catalysis), and enhanced sensory consistency. You get the botanical marketing appeal of three star ingredients in one testable, QC-friendly package.
AxRose™
Velden AxRose™ Marula Oil is a standardized, purified Sclerocarya birrea oil engineered for exceptional oxidative stability in modern formulations. Marula’s inherent monounsaturated profile and native antioxidants already confer unusually long induction times under accelerated tests; AxRose™ further fortifies this with our rosemary (rosmarinic-rich) antioxidant system and a clean, broad-spectrum antimicrobial package. The result is a low-peroxide, low-volatiles emollient phase that resists autoxidation, photooxidation, and metal-catalyzed pathways. It maintains emollience, color, and odour across stress conditions and complex INCI stacks. Expect tighter QC specs over shelf life and more consistent consumer sensorials from first pump to last.
