Introduction

Centra Pharm cc was formed by a dedicated team of businessmen and African traditional doctors with the aim of researching, manufacturing and distributing a range of effective cosmetic products based on African medicinal plants. 

South Africa alone has over 10% of the world's flora and is rich in the knowledge of their use. To a degree, African medicinal plants form an integral part of human heritage and should therefore be available to all who wish to draw from them.

African medicinal plants and its uses date back many centuries and have therefore been as "tried and tested" as many of the scientific medicines, which, are often more harmful and with a higher degree of side-effects. The use of herbal remedies is generally less invasive or aggressive than the scientific preponderance of scheduled drugs and frequent surgery.  

Centra Pharm cc offers the distinct advantage of tried and tested herbal products backed by research and ethno-botanical data. The company does not copy existing formulas but develops new ones, which we believe, are superior in their efficacy, quality and results.

In order to protect trade secrets and due to non-disclosure agreements that our consulting traditional Doctors have with research institutions, Centra Pharm cc may not disclose more information about research on certain plant species and their properties other than the information contained within its website and manuals.

T/Drs J Ngome, A Chambale and R de Carvalho are our consulting African herbalists and in conjunction with research institutions have developed the formulas for our products .
