Our Story
We are Thomas and Angela, the founders of Treefoods Natural Skincare. Our journey began in 2019 when Thomas acquired a small farm in Nigeria to cultivate moringa. Angela, a BBC journalist, discovered extraordinary stories about moringa during her travels in Africa, producing several films and documentaries that spotlight the “Miracle Tree.” Years later, our paths intertwined through a shared passion for the moringa tree—celebrated for its incredible health benefits, skin-nourishing properties, and sustainable nature.
From our encounter, the vision for Treefoods Natural Skincare took shape: to share the power of this “Miracle Tree” with people around the globe.
Since then, our moringa community has flourished, and we feel honoured to empower individuals like you to harness the natural, nutrient-rich advantages of moringa.
Join us on this journey towards a healthier, more vibrant lifestyle, where the wisdom of nature meets modern skincare. Welcome to Treefoods Natural Skincare—a place where your well-being and the earth’s health go hand in hand.

Our Social Impact
Our commitment extends beyond just the products we offer; it encompasses the entire journey from farm to shelf. We believe in transparency and sustainability at every step of the process. By choosing our moringa products, you are not only nurturing your body but also supporting fair trade ethical farming practices and helping to uplift communities involved in the cultivation of this remarkable tree.
We are dedicated to sustainability and ethical sourcing, ensuring that each product we offer is of the highest quality while supporting the livelihoods of the communities we collaborate with.
As we cultivate our own moringa in Nigeria, we have a deep understanding of its origins. Our own farming background and personal connections enable us to source high-quality moringa. From its seeds, we cold-press our distinctive moringa seed oil right here in the UK. This oil is then transformed into our beautiful skincare products and soaps, which we make by hand. Additionally, we create our exceptional tea from moringa leaves.
We are proud to be recognised by BAFTS, The British Association for Fair Trade Shops and Suppliers, as a Fair Trade importer, wholesaler and retailer. We are dedicated to sourcing goods that are produced honestly, fairly, and ethically. This commitment extends to our own farm in Nigeria and our producer partners in East and West Africa, with whom we collaborate closely. Our goal is to ensure that they receive a fair wage throughout the entire year, not just during peak seasons. We prioritize safe and pleasant working conditions, enabling them to look forward to a brighter future.
We invite you to be part of our growing community, dedicated to holistic wellness and the betterment of our planet. Together, let's harness the power of nature to transform our lives and the world around us.

Moringa: The 'miracle tree'
Moringa has long been celebrated for its remarkable versatility and multitude of benefits. From its roots to its leaves, every part of the moringa tree offers something valuable. This incredible plant has been used for centuries in traditional medicine, and its potential continues to be explored in modern wellness and skincare industries.
The versatility of moringa makes it a perfect ingredient for a wide range of products. It can be incorporated into skincare routines to improve complexion and hydration, consumed as a nutritious tea to boost immunity and energy levels, or used in culinary dishes to enhance flavor and nutritional value. As the demand for natural and effective products continues to rise, moringa stands out as a beacon of hope, offering a path to healthier living and a more sustainable future.
Beyond personal health, moringa plays a vital role in environmental sustainability. Its ability to thrive in arid conditions without requiring extensive resources makes it an eco-friendly option for cultivation, supporting sustainable agricultural practices. Communities that engage in moringa farming benefit from economic empowerment, as it provides a renewable resource that can be harvested and utilized in various ways.
