Neo Chatyoka, founder of award winning Uhuru Botanicals, invites you to a plant-based beauty revolution.

Neo is the passionate founder of Uhuru Botanicals and the Formulation Academy and your guide on this green, sustainable beauty formulation.

Born in South Africa, she has always had a deep love for nature, a connection that began during her visits to her grandmother in the rural countryside of South Africa. It was there, surrounded by the beauty of the natural world, that she first nurtured her curiosity for the herbs and spices that would later become essential ingredients in her formulations. Her journey into skincare formulation began with a simple yet profound mission: to find gentle, effective products for her daughter, Lulu, who struggled with eczema. Unable to discover suitable solutions on the market, she decided to take matters into her own hands and formulated a her own product.

Neo is a visiting lecturer at several universities in the UK, where she teaches innovative cosmetic formulation, product development and manufacturing and she has been invited to mentor business startups at Queen Mary's University London. 

Neo has also been featured in several publications such as the Express and Star, Country Life magazine, Lioness of Africa, Female First and the Women in Industry Podcast. She is featured in the Lloyd's Bank Business and Commercial advert about Women in Manufacturing. 

Neo's aim is to empower and educate women from underrepresented backgrounds, equipping them with the expertise to formulate, produce cosmetic products and manufacturing.
