At the heart of FIGGI is Green Rooibos Extract, derived from Aspalathus linearis — a rare South African botanical that grows naturally in a small region of the Cederberg Mountains.

Green Rooibos is naturally rich in distinctive polyphenols, including aspalathin and nothofagin. Research on Rooibos has explored its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antifungal activity, as well as its relevance to oxidative stress, inflammatory signalling, environmental reactivity, and skin barrier support.

In plain terms, this means Green Rooibos Extract is especially interesting for skin that looks stressed, feels reactive, or becomes easily unsettled by modern environmental exposure.

FIGGI uses a COSMOS-approved, plant-derived Green Rooibos Extract, responsibly sourced from South Africa and cultivated under Soil Association certified farming standards.

In FIGGI formulas, Green Rooibos Extract is not a decorative botanical — it is the core antioxidant active behind our barrier-first approach to calm, resilient-looking skin.
