CRAFTED COSMETICS
Crafted Cosmetics creates simple, wholesome skincare products with the minimum of additives.
The focus is beauty without cruelty and developing moisturizers, soaps and shampoo that do not
harm customers or the planet. Crafted Cosmetics don’t believe in false promises and the hype that
drives the beauty industry, but rather in the power of nature to protect, heal and beautify.
Indigenous and more commonly used natural botanicals are used to create products that restore skin health
and a feeling of wellbeing. The recipes and ideas behind many of the products were inherited from mothers
and grandmothers and the company grew from an enduring interest (generation after generation) in plants
and their capacity to heal and improve health. Consumers are becoming more discerning and are beginning
to ask the right questions – about the origin and sustainability of the beauty products they use and about the
possible long-term effects of some skin care ingredients that are used to improve the ‘look’ of a product and
its shelf life. Crafted Cosmetics offers viable, cost-effective alternatives to mainstream and mass-produced
skincare lines. To this purpose, they retain a cottage industry ethos, the boutique factory ‘feel’ because they
believe that when there is emotional investment, when love and dedication goes into the making of a product,
the result is a truly ‘feel-good’ product.
EARTHLY
Earthly is an environmentally-friendly brand that aims to become the largest online platform of
eco-friendly and sustainably sourced personal hygiene products in South Africa.
Earthly also manufactures Toothbits, which is a natural and locally produced toothpaste in tablet
form. Earthly developed and manufactures their trademarked Toothbits from their facility in Somerset West and
has to date prevented more than 45 000 toothpaste tubes from ending up in a South African landfill. Although
this is a very good start, the aim is to raise this number to 45 million within the next few years.
Toothbits is designed to serve more than one objective by replacing plastic packaging as well as reducing water
during the production process. Earthly is limiting plastic usage by using degradable packaging and recyclable
aluminium tins rather than a plastic toothpaste tube. Toothbits are in tablet form and, unlike traditional
toothpaste, does not require water for production.
Toothbits not only reduces plastic and water consumption but is also diabetic and vegan friendly as well as
cruelty free. Earthly also provides funds for Non Profit Organisations that clean up beaches, rivers and other
places that are affected by the overuse of single use plastic.
