Although still a new face on the local cosmetic scene, Tamarind Nott is a name that’s going to be remembered. Having launched her range of products at the Namibian Expo in June this year and walking away with N$35 000 to support her endeavour, she is well on her way to becoming a local pioneer.

Tammy uses Namibian myrrh Commiphora wildii essential oils to produce the best-smelling and smoothest textured products out there. Says Tammy: “The story of Himba women and Namibian myrrh was my real inspiration, and this is the core of my business.”
