From kitchen to shelf

We made what we couldn't find

Mondli and Ndo are a husband-and-wife team and parents of two. Like so many South African families, they struggled to find skin and hair care that was affordable, gentle and actually made for melanin-rich skin and Afro-textured hair.

So they made their own. Ndo, a trained chemist and formulator, began creating products in the family kitchen with African oils, butters and plant extracts. Friends asked for them, then their friends did. That kitchen project grew into a national brand stocked in over 100 stores.

"From township to top shelf. We're proof that Black excellence can lead and win."
