Overview

South Africa is an increasingly important global supplier of essential oils, and the region is a significant producer of lesser-known indigenous essential oils and botanicals, which are making their way into new cosmetic and cosmeceutical formulations. November, which is towards the end of spring in South Africa, is an ideal time to see the growing and processing of a wide range of essential oil crops. While traveling around this beautiful country, delegates will be able to see diverse environments, alongside magnificent scenery and a rich heritage of traditional music, dance, crafts, costumes and cuisines.
