modern chemistry, traditional intuition
Each elixir begins as a native plant grown across East Africa and other botanicals harvested at their peak. Through slow extraction and distillation, we transform these plants into potent actives. The foundation of every Koro Gaia formula, they are not additives; they are the essence of our craft.
the harvest
We source our botanicals from small-scale women farmers across East Africa: roots, leaves, and resins harvested in season, always by hand.
Each plant is gathered at its natural peak using traditional methods that protect both potency and the land.
Every harvest allows the earth time to renew before the next bloom, this is where every elixir begins: with respect, renewal, and time.
the extraction
Once gathered, the botanicals are distilled in our Nairobi lab using slow, low-temperature methods to preserve their active compounds.
We combine traditional infusion techniques with modern precision, transforming raw plants into pure, potent elixirs, our very essence captured drop by drop.
the infusion
Each elixir becomes the foundation of our products blended with clinically proven actives like niacinamide, copper peptides, and sodium PCA.
This is where the botanical meets the scientific; where the wisdom of the soil finds its expression in the clarity of the skin.
Every product carries these elixirs — beauty transformed through care, science, and intention.
