Fynbos
We distil buchu and wild rosemary from a farm down the road. It gives our oils their clean, green smell.
Mixed by hand in Stanford, Western Cape
Skincare made from the hills outside our door
Cleansers, oils and creams made with buchu, rooibos and kaolin clay. We mix sixty jars at a time and post them within two days.
What people reorder
The four jars that go out most often, usually with a note asking us to never change them.
Find what you need
Four shelves, from first wash to last thing at night.
In every jar
Four ingredients we know by name
Most of what we use grows within a day's drive of the workroom. These four turn up again and again.
Rooibos
Brewed strong and cooled, it replaces plain water in our cleansers and toner.
Kaolin clay
A soft white clay that lifts oil without leaving your face tight. It is the base of our weekly mask.
Marula oil
Cold-pressed in Limpopo by a women's co-operative. Light enough to wear under make-up.
A simple routine01 02 03 04
Three minutes in the morning, three at night
You do not need ten steps. Start with these and add more only if your skin asks for it.
Cleanse
Massage the milk cleanser into dry skin for a minute, then wipe it off with a warm cloth.
Treat
Press three drops of face oil into damp skin. Use the night oil after dark.
Moisturise
A pea-sized amount of cream is plenty. Warm it between your fingers first.
Once a week, mask
Mix the clay with a little water, leave it for ten minutes and rinse before it dries hard.

Every product we make, all mixed in the same small workroom.

Why we stay smallBatch size Made in Tested on
We would rather sell out than let a jar sit on a shelf for a year
Fresh batches mean we can use fewer preservatives, and every jar carries the date it was made.
Sixty jars at most

Good to know
If your question is not here, write to us. We answer every message ourselves.
How long does a jar last once opened?
Use it within six months of opening. The date it was made is printed on the base of every jar and bottle.
I have sensitive skin. Where should I start?
Try the milk cleanser and the gel cream first, and test a little on your inner arm for a day. Ask for a free sample with your order if you want to be sure.
Are your products vegan?
All of them except the body butter, which contains beeswax from a beekeeper in Napier.
How do refills work?
Post or drop off five empty jars or bottles. We clean and reuse them, and take R50 off your next order.
When will my order arrive?
We pack orders within two working days. Delivery takes two to four days to cities and up to six to smaller towns.
Can I give a set as a gift?
Yes. Reply to your order email to say it is a gift and we wrap the parcel in paper and leave the price off the slip.
