About Us
People have used natural remedies and compounds, including CBD, for thousands of years for personal care. These ancient knowledge and skills have mostly been lost to us and replaced with synthetic chemicals in the modern world.
Most products that we use daily, including body and hair care products, contain chemicals that are harmful to your body and bad for the environment.
Lemvia Strydom is one of our founders. She is passionate about nature and cares deeply for the natural world. For many years she has been concerned about the effects of every-day personal care products on our own bodies, and the environment. Many of these commercial products contain chemicals that are dangerous to our bodies and outright toxic to the environment.
As a result, Lemvia researched natural alternatives for hair and body care products. She developed our 100% natural personal care range that is healthy, affordable, chemical-free and sustainable. She carefully tested and chose each ingredient for optimal results.
Our products are manufactured by hand in Cape Town and we use only the purest natural ingredients, sourced locally from sustainable producers. Independent parties extensively test every formulation and product.
