Pure Indigenous

Born from curiosity and a deep love for South Africa’s flora, Pure Indigenous was founded by Tahnia Hook in 2015 under her company, Indigo Trading. What began as one product and a spark of inspiration has blossomed into a collection that celebrates the healing power of indigenous plants and the wisdom of traditional knowledge.

Rooted in South Africa’s soil, spirit, and ancestral knowledge, every blend carries the essence of home: wild, honest, and healing.

Guided by the belief that “plants and foods from your immediate region are the most potent healers,” the brand works closely with small-scale farmers. By working hand in hand with farmers and distillers, she ensures that every ingredient reflects the integrity of the land it comes from.

Purity here is not a claim — it’s a principle. Every bottle is crafted with love, mindful energy, and authenticity, reminding us that healing begins close to home, in the scents, textures, and rituals that reconnect us to nature.

Indigenous Essential Oils

Healing South African botanicals distilled for their true character and healing essence. each Pure Indigenous oil carries ancestral knowledge and the untamed energy of our land. Use in diffusers, inhalations, or well-diluted in massage and bath blends for mood, focus, and routine wellness rituals.

Essential Oils Blends

Pre-blended aromatherapy blends that make it effortless to set the tone of your day: Happiness, Tranquillity, Love, Night, Luck, and Abundance. Add a few drops to a diffuser or tissue, or dilute into a roller or bath for targeted, portable aromatics without the guesswork.

Bath Indulgence & Soaks

Mineral-rich bath salts infused with matching mood themes like Calm, Night, Tranquil, Happy, and Love, turning any bath into a mini spa session. Benefits include relaxed muscles, aromatic stress relief, and an easy, end-of-day reset. Sprinkle into warm water, stir, breathe deep, and soak.

Body Care & Balms

Ready-to-use body treats that bring the aromatherapy into your daily routine. Reach for lightweight Massage Oils (Calm, Love) to melt stress and add easy glide; apply “Gogga” Anti-Itch Balm for bites; and keep Lip or Heel Balm for quick softening on the go. For beards, use Beard Oil, Balm and After-Shave for comfort. Apply after a shower, knead into tight shoulders, dot where needed.
