The Vivaness trade fair said Nara Namibia Natural Cosmetics was inspiring. The Vivaness fair is one of the world’s largest and most important trade fairs. “We were able to see our Namibia offering in the context of the international health and beauty products´ market. And I can proudly state that cosmetics made in Namibia are competitive in the global market,” she said. Hümmer said: “The global market has moved away from simply labelling our products under ´fair trade´ and recognises African products under ´real trade´. Meeting our buyers – new and current – at the same level is refreshing and provides impetus to cosmetics made in Namibia to forge ahead in the global market.” NANCi’s aims to grow and encourage a health and beauty industry in Namibia inclusive, diverse, sustainable and vibrant.
The delegation addressed accredited health and beauty products, both natural and organic. All the product categories mentioned included refined marula, ximene, melon kalahari and jojoba seeds; health products such as devil’s claw tea and food supplements; and Namibian cosmetic end products, which included novel ingredients such as salt and charcoal powder.
