What we do
Nature’s finest ingredients,
traced from Kenyan soil
We grow and produce natural ingredients for the world’s fragrance, beauty, wellness and health brands. Every batch can be traced back to the field it came from, and we shape each ingredient together with the companies that will use it.
Great fragrance and skincare start long before the lab. They start with soil, sunlight, altitude and the people who tend the crop. At Vepris Ardhi, we believe the best ingredients come from knowing exactly where, how and by whom they were made.
That’s why we look after every step ourselves, from choosing the plant to testing the finished oil. And rather than growing first and looking for buyers later, we work with our customers from day one, so each ingredient is made to match what they really need.
What we’re growing
Fragrance & beauty
Rose geranium, sweet basil, lemon basil, lavender and lavandin essential oils for perfumes and cosmetics.
Health, wellness & personal care
African basil essential oil and Devil’s Claw root extract for health and supplement brands; jojoba oil and aloe vera extract for skincare.
Only from Kenya
Frankincense and myrrh resins, Leleshwa leaf oil and other botanicals native to East Africa.
Quality you can trace
Every batch is recorded from field to finished product and checked with advanced laboratory testing.
Our approach
How we create an ingredient

- Carefully chosen plant

- Refined with perfumers
