Southern Botanica works in Fair Trade partnership with independent, indigenous producers of natural ingredients throughout the southern hemisphere.  In establishing its own proprietary supply chains in Namibia, Southern Botanica is able ensure fair and ethical trade with rural producers, a sustainable and traceable harvesting process, regulatory compliant sourcing, and a reliable supply of pure, cold-pressed virgin-grade marula oil.

This unique supply chain was established to bring one of the most stable and beneficial natural oils to market while generating income and environmental benefits to the rural harvesting communities in southern Africa.  To this end, 5% of GROSS sales are reinvested as a guaranteed royalty into rural projects in the communities from which these natural resources are derived.

Southern Botanica is interested in establishing distribution partnerships that will increase the demand volume of marula oil which will in turn increase the income and opportunity to rural women and their communities.  We envisage a global network of distributors that have access and an interest in the benefit that empowers rural communities and protects the environment.
