Embark on a journey that celebrates the essence of nature's abundance, sourced directly from the biodiverse forests of Ethiopia. At Chakka Origins, we take pride in crafting premium, natural ingredients sustainably sourced and processed from the heart of Africa's biosphere reserves.
Regenerative Natural Ingredients
Chakka Origins is more than just a supplier of natural ingredients, we are on a mission to lead the way in regenerative practices.

Our commitment to sourcing from indigenous plants grown through regenerative practices sets us apart as a premium player in the industry. Our name "Chakka" is derived from the Amharic language of Ethiopia, a symbol of our deep-rooted connection to the source of the forest.
