Star Seed is a regenerative skincare brand born on the Kenyan coast, where co-founders Emilie and Ed first experienced the healing power of East African botanicals. Moved by the beauty and biodiversity of Kilifi, they created a skincare line rooted in regeneration aiming to leave the world more beautiful and biodiverse than they found it.

In partnership with The LEAF and Pwani University, Star Seed supports vital regeneration projects: planting indigenous and endangered trees, restoring mangroves, nurturing community nurseries, and diversifying income streams for smallholder farmers.

At the heart of this work are the people of Kilifi, the land’s stewards and the soul of Star Seed’s mission. Together, we are committed to planting 150,000 trees and improving 15,000 local livelihoods over the next five years.

To date, we have grown 8,729 indigenous trees and mangroves, with 10% of profits donated into land regeneration, from the soil to your skin.
