A label that is proof of high quality products that are locally produced by a company that subscribes to environmentally friendly and fair labour practices.
Over the years, we have continued to innovate and refine our production processes.
Today, one of the methods we devised is patented and the hallmark of our range remains the consistently high level of plant-based content in the form of top quality Aloe ferox raw products, bitter and non-bitter. The percentage of aloe active ingredients in our skincare and wellness products is calculated to approach up to 80% of the ingredients present in fresh aloe leaf gel.
In this area, Aloe ferox or the Cape Aloe grows wild on many farms – free from pesticides and artificial fertilisers, and with the highest concentration of beneficial substances in the country.
The ancient art of harvesting remains unchanged.
The bottom few sets of leaves are cut at regular intervals, encouraging vigorous growth in the plant and ensuring its survival. It’s also labour-intensive, so provides a livelihood for unskilled, independent tappers.
