Manna for my Hair

I was gifted some skincare products from Uhuru Botanicals about 4 years ago and have been coming back ever since. I tried the hair care products recently and just love love love the Mint and Tea Tree Hair Spray. Literally manna for my hair. My hair and scalp just come to life with it. And that is hair that's super dry and scalp that's even more super dry. Going to stock up!

Recently I tried a face oil made by @Uhuru Botanicals. The orange undertone was a beautiful aromatic blend. The rich oils were gentle on my sensitive skin. The oil is made with people in mind, kind to the skin yet moisturising and generously rich. No harsh chemicals. Definitely recommend checking out their skin line🥂

Amazing product

Amazing product for people who suffer from dry skin/eczema. I don't have to reapply during the day (yes! that good it is!) I'm so thankful to Neo for making such awesome product. I will definitely try other Uhuru products in the future 🤗🤗

Outstanding Tool in my Formulation Arsenal

I had the privilege of using Botanics AI (the AI tool developed by Uhuru Botanicals) during my training with the company, and it truly exceeded my expectations. Unlike generic search engines, Botanics AI is tailored specifically for beauty formulation, providing relevant and targeted information instantly. It streamlines information into concise, easy-to-understand insights, saving me valuable time in my formulation process. The simple user-friendly interface makes it easy to use as well. Overall, it is an outstanding and essential tool for anyone formulating skin and hair care products.

A real game changer for cosmetic formulation

Whilst studying on a cosmetic formulation course with Uhuru Botanicals, I had the pleasure of being part of the first cohort to use Uhuru's Botanics AI, and honestly, it was a game-changer for me.

As a formulation student, one of the first things you learn is how important it is to choose the right ingredients. It is not just about mixing things together. You need to understand what each ingredient does and how it can help with the specific skin concern you are trying to address. That can be quite overwhelming, especially when you are still learning and not yet familiar with all the ingredients.

This is where Botanics AI really made a difference. I could easily look up the properties of the ingredients I was considering and also discover which ingredients would be suitable for particular skin issues. It saved me hours of research and helped me focus on the few ingredients I actually wanted to use.

What I really appreciated is that the information provided is always relevant to formulation, not just general skincare. I even used it to troubleshoot issues with some of my formulas and found its suggestions genuinely helpful when adjusting them.

I would definitely recommend Botanics AI to anyone learning to formulate or working on their own products. It makes the process much smoother and more efficient.
