Inspired by the mighty Baobab, the "African Tree of Life", KAIBAE is on a mission to preserve biodiversity by revaluing wild plants once considered lost crops and share their exceptional regenerative benefits for wellness, social good, and the environment. The work of KAIBAE’s founders Dr. Luc Maes and Humanitarian/Botanist Thomas Cole is deeply rooted in science and the benefits of rewilding the microbiome as well as in a commitment to improving the livelihoods of indigenous communities and protecting important biodiversity. By championing the value of—and creating an ethical and regenerative supply chain for—the incredible wild plants used in its potent formulas, KAIBAE ensures that these natural resources are preserved and protected from deforestation, and entire communities are supported in the process. KAIBAE is a supplier of high quality Organic certified African ingredients including Baobab Fruit Powder, Baobab Seed Oil and Baobab Leaf Tea for the food, beverage and cosmetic industries. The KAIBAE Wellness retail line works to “rewild” the microbiome inside and out, taking it back to its original state of resilience, replenishing what is lost living the modern life, which is increasingly disconnected from what nature provides.
