Rooibos: The Red Gold of African Skin Care
Long before the wellness world caught on, Rooibos was already doing the work. Known as “red bush”, this indigenous South African herb is more than just a tea — it’s a powerful skin ally, packed with antioxidants, minerals, and calming energy.
At Raw Truth by Nikki Z, we don’t just sip it. We infuse it.

🌿 Why Rooibos Is a Skin Care Secret
Rooibos is:
• Naturally anti-inflammatory — helps calm eczema, rashes, and redness
• Rich in flavonoids — these plant compounds help fight free radicals
• Full of zinc & alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) — great for acne-prone or sensitive skin
• Caffeine-free and gentle — safe for babies, elders, and reactive skin types
• Known to help reduce signs of aging and environmental stress
It’s nature’s way of saying: softness is strength.

🌍 Rooted in the Motherland
Sustainably harvested from the Cederberg mountains of South Africa, Rooibos is deeply woven into local tradition. At Raw Truth, we use it as both an infused oil and a natural exfoliant, blending it into soaps and rituals that nourish skin and spirit.
We don’t just honor where it comes from — we honor how it heals.

🧼 How We Use It
• In our herbal soaps like Sifa, paired with lavender, lemongrass, and sage
• As a steeping herb inside potpourri sachets with grounding affirmations
• In infused oils to enhance skin regeneration, especially for mature or dry skin

✨ A Ritual of Rest
Rooibos isn’t loud. It doesn’t tingle or burn. It soothes. It brings you back to center. It tells your nervous system: you’re safe here. And that is what Raw Truth is all about.

From tea to texture, Rooibos is red gold — for the skin and the soul.
