What's in a Name

Whats in a Name?

Our name Nubian Seed™ is a metaphor used as an expression of Africa’s wealth in heritage and resources.

Historically, Nubia was a region along the Nile River in what is today modern-day northern Sudan and southern Egypt, which dates back to as early as 5000BC. Nubia was the birthplace of Africa’s earliest and most powerful kingdoms, and its significance in the history of ancient civilization cannot be understated. Known for its deposits of gold, Nubia was a pivotal trade route for Egypt, providing access to luxury items such as ebony, ivory and incense.

The ‘Seed’ in Nubian Seed™ communicates the origins of our product offerings, communicating authenticity and creating a conscious comparison in the mind between Nubian Seed™ product offerings, and seeds of which all life is derived from.

Our products are a reflection of the best the continent has to offer. We are purist in nature, and strive to impart knowledge on the wonders of indigenous natural ingredients for healthy personal care.

Uplifting Communities

With plant based raw materials for use in green beauty cosmetics such as; Morula oil (internationally called Marula Nut Oil), Moretologa (Ximenia), Prickly Pear Seeds, Kgengwe (Kalahari melon); just to mention a few. Our mission is to sustainably source such raw materials, relative to our growth. Our vision is to have enough of an impact as we grow, to create an entire industry supply chain, allowing for people who live in the communities from
which we source our products to monetize on the green wealth surrounding them.
