Botha, the owner of Le Naturel, was inspired<br />
by South Africa’s indigenous medicinal<br />
plants to create her range of luxury, natural<br />
products with these unique indigenous oils.<br />
Handcrafted in Franschhoek, Western<br />
Cape, Le Naturel products are rich blends<br />
of advanced natural skincare with organic<br />
and herbaceous ingredients used to craft<br />
everything from bath oil to shampoo.<br />
“I’ve been an entrepreneur at heart. I love<br />
empowering people, learning new skills<br />
and growing the community around me and<br />
sharing good vibes,” said Botha.<br />

Nomfundo Njibe<br />
Founder of Chick Cosmetics, Njibe, has always<br />
loved beauty from a young age. In her childhood,<br />
she enjoyed playing with her mother’s makeup and<br />
playing dress-up with her peers. She launched her<br />
brand in 2018 after having lost her makeup brand<br />
during a short visit to London. “I had to shop for new<br />
beauty essentials. Coming from South Africa, I had<br />
never seen so many beauty retailers selling all the<br />
affordable products from indie brands I knew from<br />
the internet and magazines. Being a curious cat at<br />
heart, I started researching and learning more about<br />
this independent beauty industry I wanted to be a<br />
part of. The rise of brands on Instagram fuelled my<br />
passion to start Chick Cosmetics,” she said in an<br />
interview with Digital Beauty.
