Lioness Launch / Organic Naturals Skincare in Botswana launches its new ‘one-stop’ toning serum for balanced skin tone

October 30, 2022 Melanie Hawken

Didintle Leatile Moreki

Organic Naturals Skincare, the Botswana-based business and brand founded by entrepreneur Didintle Leatile Moreki, is launching its new Niacinamide Brightening Botanical Serum in October 2022. The scientific potency of the Niacinamide Brightening Botanical Serum is proven to brighten and clear the skin by reducing hyperpigmentation; reduce fine lines by improving skin roughness, colour and elasticity by strengthening the skin barrier; reduce severe acne by fighting acne-causing bacteria and reducing sebum production; and hydrate the skin.

Organic Naturals Skincare founder Didintle Leatile Moreki, developed the new Niacinamide Brightening Botanical Serum as a solution inspired by a need to solve a confidence problem that she personally experienced all throughout her teens and early adult life - acne consistent pain. She found the pain could be alleviated by temporary dosages of oral acne treatment – but could still relapse. Later that year, she would stand in shopping store aisles in pursuit of a product that was manufactured with the understanding of her African skin and African climate. The gap in the market made Didintle realize that an African story of skincare made in Botswana had to be told. Imagine the possibility of a potent skincare range that is specifically empowered by plants and backed by science, while empowering communities. The story of her business, Organic Naturals Skincare, started there.

The new Niacinamide Brightening Botanical Serum is a skin care product that is designed to deliver high concentrations of specific active ingredients to the skin. They help deliver added benefits and extra oomph to your skin. Botanical simply means a substance obtained or derived from a plant, keeping in line with the brand’s “organicness". What about Niacinamide? It is a Vitamin B3 ingredient that is a nature-based power-house in breaking down cells at a molecular level. The Niacinamide Brightening Botanical Serum formulation is made with all skin types in mind with an emphasis on sensitive and melanated skin.

Didintle designed the new product to be every woman and man's go-to radiance serum to soothe, rejuvenate, reduce breakouts, excess oil production, and dark spots for a healthy glow. What makes this new product different in the marketplace is the scientific potency of the Niacinamide Brightening Botanical Serum which is proven to: brighten and clear the skin by reducing hyperpigmentation, reduce fine lines by improving skin roughness, colour and elasticity by strengthening the skin barrier, reduce severe acne by fighting acne-causing bacteria and reducing sebum production, and hydrate the skin.

Talking about her aspirations for the new Niacinamide Brightening Botanical Serum are that the product itself should reveal a glowing and radiant skin to men and women across the world. The product was designed to be anyone’s "one stop" for a balanced skin tone. Currently the Niacinamide Botanical Serum is available in Botswana and on the Organic Naturals Skincare Website www.organicnaturalsskincare.co.bw before it is launched into the rest of Africa.

Didintle added: “For so long, Africa has been known for its Shea Butter and African Black Soap, these are great ingredients! However, it is important we tell the rest of the world that actually, science backed researches made in Africa can be used to solve many skin concerns.”
