!Nara Namibia Natural Cosmetics

The company Desert Hills was established in 2008 by Staefanie& Volker Huemmer to press the unique Namibian !Nara oil. The !Nara plant grows in the Namib Desert and is traditionally wild-harvested by the Topnaar (#Aonin) community. The unique plant oil, with its high linoleic fatty acids (Omega-6) has very good skin conditioning properties.

Since 2010, Desert Hills produce natural cosmetics under the brand name – !NARA NAMIBIA Natural Cosmetics TM.

Currently two cosmetic ranges are available under this brand name:

The BODY FOOD !NARA COSMETIC RANGE is a natural cosmetic range made specifically for the Namibian market. The creams, serums, scrubs, bath salts, body oils and soaps come in basic primary packaging, are well priced and ideal for the whole family. They are sold in Namibian shops such as Dischem, Super Spar, pharmacies, etc.

The DESERT GOLD !NARA COSMETIC RANGE is a natural and organic range. The rich, high-end cream, body oils, deodorants, and body soaps come in elegant glass and carton packaging and are sold at pharmacies, souvenir shops and other boutique outlets. This range is registered on the EU registration portal and sold in Europe.

Aim: With our companies lived holistic and ethical inclusive approach to the entire sourcing-to-end product cycle, we plan to get this range certified as natural/organic and find more up-market natural and organic buyers in the SADC region and internationally.
