There are stories that begin long before they are ever placed into a jar.
The story of our dew Africa Oil Lotion and dew Africa Oil Serum began years ago in the heart of Jean – the matriarch of BJ Adventures – with a dream to create something beautiful from the healing baobab oil of Africa. With the help of Fijn Botanicals, that dream has come to life!
Housed in an elegant glass jar, wrapped in artwork drawn by granddaughter Philomena, every detail tells a story of heritage, family, and the passing down of dreams through generations. At the heart of the design stands the beloved baobab tree, the enduring symbol and identity of BJ Adventures. A tree of wisdom, shelter, water nourishment, and medicinal uses to the San people, its presence on the jar not only celebrates Africa’s beauty, but the spirit of adventure, connection and belonging that our company holds dear.
The dew Africa Oil Serum and dew Africa Oil Lotion have been gathered drop by drop from the continent’s most treasured botanicals. At the heart of each are five deeply nourishing African seed oils: baobab, marula, manketti, Namibian myrrh, and Kalahari melon, all treasured for centuries by Indigenous cultures for their regenerative and protective properties. Exceptionally rich in essential fatty acids and antioxidants, these oils hydrate, restore the skin barrier and leave the skin luminous and supple without feeling heavy. Each product is also infused with sacred Namibian Myrrh, wild Fynbos oils, South African lavender, and precious saffron to restore and brighten the skin while helping protect against environmental stress and premature aging.
The lotion is a whisper of Africa on the skin, light as morning dew, yet deeply restorative. The luxurious serum carries the spirit of earth, sun, wind, and rain to create radiance.
We like to think it’s more than just skincare. It’s the story of our love of wild places, ancient botanicals, artistry and heritage in a jar. Available now - reach out if you’d like to purchase!
