Our Story
Le Naturel is Africa's first regenerative skincare house, born from a simple but radical idea: what if beauty could actively restore the earth?
Founded in 2017, we've spent years quietly perfecting our formulations while building a different kind of beauty company—one where commerce nourishes the earth rather than depleting it. While the industry chased trends, we returned to the source: the ancient fynbos biome of the Cape Floristic Region, one of Earth's most biodiverse yet threatened landscapes.
We've learned that sustainability isn't enough. Maintaining the status quo while ecosystems decline isn't a victory—it's slow surrender. That's why we've evolved from natural skincare to regenerative skincare. This isn't a rebrand; it's the formal embrace of what we've always been building.
Our Regenerative Promise
Land as Partner, Not Resource
We don't "source ingredients"—we partner with the fynbos biome. Every plant is either cultivated through regenerative practices, ethically wild-harvested, or paired with active habitat restoration.
The 1% for Fynbos Pledge
We commit 1% of all revenue to the Wild & Wise Earth Trust, an independent organization dedicated to fynbos restoration, community-led conservation, and preserving indigenous plant knowledge.
Traceability as Transparency
We're building a system where you can trace every product back to its landscape, the stewards who cultivated it, and the restoration projects it supports. No vague claims—just verifiable impact.
The Future We're Building
By 2035, we envision Le Naturel as:
-
A living case study proving commerce and ecology can thrive together
-
A replicable model for indigenous bio-economies across Africa
-
A permanent legacy structured to outlive its founders while staying true to its regenerative soul
The Vision Statement
We are building a world where the most desirable, luxurious, and technologically advanced products on Earth are the ones that actively and verifiably make the Earth healthier.
Le Naturel is the proof-of-concept. We are demonstrating that the future of luxury is not just sustainable; it is generative. It doesn't just avoid harm; it creates a net-positive, beautiful, and thriving world.
We are for the new pioneers—the artists, the engineers, the mothers, the investors—who understand that the ultimate status symbol is no longer a private jet, but a personal legacy of regeneration.
This is no longer just about returning to our natural state. This is about evolving into our natural destiny: as healers, as stewards, as a symbiotic force on this planet.
