Our Latest Work

WE SOURCE OUR INGREDIENTS

Most of what goes into our bottles comes from people we deal with ourselves. We drive out, sit down with growers, agree a price and a harvest date, and collect.

PROJECT WITH DESCRIPTION EXAMPLE

Working with one grower has limits. When the fire season is bad, or the rain comes late, there is simply less fynbos and we make fewer bottles. We have chosen to live with that instead of buying from a broker who cannot tell us which hillside the plants came from. Customers sometimes wait a few weeks for a restock. Most say they would rather wait, which is not something we expected when we started out, and it has shaped how we plan. Restock dates go out by email, nothing more.

FAQs

How this can be done for me?

Fynbos for our face oil is grown on a smallholding outside Stellenbosch by a family who have farmed the slope since the nineties. They cut only what regrows, which means some seasons we get less than we asked for. We take the short harvest rath
