Hi I'm Neo,

Your plant-based beauty formulation expert.

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

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

Born in South Africa, I’ve always had a deep love for nature, a connection that began during my visits to my grandmother in the rural countryside of South Africa. It was there, surrounded by the beauty of the natural world, that I first nurtured my curiosity for the herbs and spices that would later become essential ingredients in our formulations. My journey into skincare formulation began with a simple yet profound mission: to find gentle, effective products for my daughter, Lulu, who struggled with eczema. Unable to discover suitable solutions on the market, I decided to take matters into my own hands. I embarked on a course in skin and hair care formulation and started creating skincare products in my own kitchen. Little did I know that this journey would lead to the birth of Uhuru Botanicals, a brand that has now gained recognition both nationally and internationally.
