“I spent a long time studying longevity cultures in the East, where populations are known globally for their clear, healthy complexions. What stood out to me was their focus on supporting the body rather than forcing external change,” says Carroll. “I then focused on sourcing ingredients that were both pure and effective. The cherry blossom extract from Japan was especially important because of its long history in skin health and its antioxidant properties. When combined with rose bud extract and vegan L Cysteine, the goal was to create something that supports the skin at a cellular level, rather than relying on quick fixes.”

“The shift we are seeing is not just about product preference. It’s about a fundamentally different relationship between the consumer and the category. South Africans have become genuinely ingredient-literate. They are approaching skincare the way they approach health; with questions, with scepticism, and with high expectations.”

Many children are misdiagnosed at first, told it’s just eczema or a fungal infection. But with psoriasis, proper diagnosis is key — as well as emotional support.

Imagine you ask yourself, “How should we treat others?” The response you receive is, “There are no others.” What would this mean to you? How would you interpret it? At first glance, the response might seem perplexing or even contradictory. How can there be “no others” when you’re surrounded by people every day?
