Rooibos and honeybush in our formulas

Honeybush is the softer of the two, slightly sweet smelling, and it goes into the Overnight Honeybush Sleep Mask for comfort more than anything else. Buying both locally means shorter supply chains and growers we can actually speak to. That matters to us as much as what the extracts do on skin.

Both plants grow in the Cape and almost nowhere else. Rooibos comes from the Cederberg, honeybush from the mountains further east. We use rooibos extract in the Rooibos Renewal Serum because it is rich in antioxidants and sits well on skin that reacts easily to stronger actives.
