I'm Neo, your skincare expert.
Neo Chatyoka, founder of award winning Uhuru Botanicals, invites you to a skincare revolution.
I'm the passionate founder behind Uhuru Botanicals and your guide on this journey of clean beauty formulation.
I've always had a deep love for nature, a connection that began during my visits to my grandmother in the South African countryside. 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.
Today, Uhuru Botanicals proudly manufactures all its products in our state-of-the-art facility in the city of Wolverhampton, upholding the highest standards of quality and sustainability. Our brand is built on the belief that beauty should be clean, natural, and ethical.
I invite you to join me on this exhilarating voyage of beauty product formulation. Together, we can enjoy healthier skin and hair while embracing the freedom that clean beauty offers. "Uhuru" means "Freedom" in the Kenyan dialect of Swahili, and it encapsulates our commitment to liberating your skin from toxic, unsustainable ingredients and sharing the true essence of Africa with the world through natural, plant-powered products inspired by the rich tapestry of this continent.
Join me, and let's embark on this transformative journey to healthier, glowing skin.
Scary Fact!
Women use on average 13 cosmetic products per day, containing 114 different hormone disrupting chemicals.

“Having curly hair myself and dealing with eczema, I really appreciate brands that focus on textured hair and sensitive skin. That’s why it was great to learn the story behind Uhuru Botanicals and how they blend natural ingredients to create products that truly cater to these needs.
It was especially nice to hear about the brand’s African roots and how its heritage shapes the formulas and philosophy behind the products.
Thank you Neo Chatyoka”

At the end of the 9 weeks, you will go from being a DIY to a Formulator.
You will have learnt Formulation Academy's 5 Principles of Formulation
1. To set up a formulation lab - You can set up a formulation lab anywhere in your home, as long as it is clean and safe.
2. To research botanicals - A lot of research is required when creating a formula. You want to create a product which solves a certain problem, therefore you need to know the plants that you are working with and who can solve the problem.
3. To do maths for formulators (it's very simple) - When you learn which oils, butters, waxes, waters or extracts you want to use. You then need to calculate how much you need of each ingredient.
4. To ensure safe use and storage of ingredients - Natural and botanical ingredients are amazing. However, we need to be mindful of their potency, which requires all formulators to learn about dermal limits and safety measures.
5. To create a stable and safe formulation - In order to use your product safely, you need to ensure that it is safe to use on your skin or hair. You'll need to learn about pH, stability, and preservation so that your skincare is safe to use and safe to sell.
It may seem like a lot but remember that everyone can formulate!
