Company Updates
Stabilising Our Product Offering
Over the past few months, we’ve been diligently working on stabilizing our product offering and sourcing suppliers to ensure our products remain organic and affordable. We are also focused on shortening lead times with our suppliers to get our products to you faster.
Branding and Packaging Challenges
Our biggest challenge has been achieving consistency with our branding and packaging. However, our commitment to supporting local businesses remains strong. We are proud to say that we have now established solid relationships with suppliers who align with our values and can help us maintain our standards.
Community Support and Feedback
Since we started trading at the Hermanus Country Market, the support from both local and international communities has been overwhelming. We are incredibly grateful for your continued encouragement and enthusiasm.
Product Feedback
We have received fantastic feedback on our product formulations, and we’re delighted that you love the results.
Our Vitamin A-lternative serum has been the star product this quarter. This naturally derived vitamin A offers all the benefits of synthetic Retinol without sensitizing the skin or promoting pigmentation.
A close runner up was the Foaming Oat Milk Bath which provides a luxurious and nourishing bathing experience without leaving your skin oily. Immerse yourself in a fragrant oasis of relaxation as the soothing scents of rosemary and lemongrass essential oils transport you to a state of serenity.
Herbal Tea Success
The La-Femme herbal tea has garnered a lot of love for its delightful taste and health benefits. With winter in full force, we plan to invest more into this product line, so stay tuned for exciting updates!

Looking Ahead
Winter Skincare Regime
As the seasons change, so should your skincare routine. Here’s a simple yet effective winter skincare routine to keep your skin glowing. Don’t worry if you do not have every product in this guideline… simply use what you have…
Evening Routine:
- Oil-To-Milk Cleanser: Protect your skin’s barrier with this gentle, nourishing cleanser. Since it does not contain any surfactants it will not strip your skin of it’s essential lipids.
- Floral Face Mist: The anti-oxidant complex in this mist offers superb skin regeneration benefits. It will continue working while you sleep.
- Serum Application: Apply 2 drops each of 2% Salicylic Acid Serum 4, Radiant Glow Serum 5, and Vitamin A-lternative Serum 3. For more advanced results, and a powerful collagen boost, alternate with the Vitamin C Polishing serum twice a week.
- Night Balm: Seal in moisture with our nourishing night balm.
Morning Routine:
- Rinse with Lukewarm Water only: No need to strip the skin from its own lipids.
- Floral Face Mist: Spritz throughout the day to calm and hydrate your skin.
- Serum Application: Apply 1 pump of our Vitamin B3 Serum 2 for a radiant start and deep hydration.
- Hydrating Day Balm: Finish with our protective day cream.
This is the routine that we personally use and you have all seen the results…
