🌵 Botanical Heritage
Traditional Origins: Hoodia gordonii is native to the Kalahari desert — one of the harshest environments on Earth. The San people (Bushmen), among the oldest indigenous cultures in the world with a history spanning over 100,000 years, used Hoodia as part of their cultural practices during long hunting expeditions and desert travel. San hunters would traditionally consume parts of the Hoodia plant to manage the demands of extended journeys across the desert landscape.
Hoodia's traditional knowledge eventually became the subject of a landmark intellectual property and benefit-sharing agreement — one of the first of its kind in South Africa — recognising the San as the originators of this botanical knowledge.
Botanical Profile: A leafless, spiny succulent in the Apocynaceae family, growing in arid and semi-arid environments across Namibia, Botswana, and the Northern Cape. Takes up to 5 years to reach maturity. Listed on Appendix II of CITES — our extracts are sourced in full compliance with South African conservation regulations.
