Buchu Leaf extract is made from a well-known South African plant that has been used for medicinal purposes for centuries by the san and Khoi, as well as the early Dutch settlers. Its skin-care benefits include gently removing excess oil without drying the skin, reducing spots and blemishes while deep-cleaning pores and soothing the skin. Buchu is also known for its antiseptic properties.
 
Buchu is a low, white or pink-flowered multi-stemmed, perennial shrub native to the mountain slopes of South Africa. The plant grows up to two meters in height. Its glossy broad leaves are more than twice as long as they are broad and have oil glands throughout the leaf. When the leaves are brittle after being dried, they possess a strongly aromatic, blackcurrant-like aroma that can be used to make a tea.
