I got used to working with the Cape Soap Co. natural cleaning products. I like that they are non-toxic. And I like that they are unscented because I am sensitive to strong perfumes. They are so efficient you don’t need to use much, they last long and don’t take up space. My favourite is the Vinegar. The Washing Powder leaves the laundry soft for ironing. Thank you.

So glad to see more South African businesses offering natural beauty products that don’t cost the Earth. For me, the Cape Soap Co. stands out in its elegant simplicity: I love that every ingredient is truly local, and that nothing is superfluous. It is all you need. The Olive Emulsion does wonder to my hair, and my skin is addicted to the Olive & Honey Balm.

I just wanted to get in touch to say thank you so much for your amazing Olive Emulsion, and the clear instructions. I have been using it day and night: for nappy changes (little wipe with cotton wool after cleaning), for moisturising (me and baby) and for baby massage in the evenings. It’s so nourishing and yet light to apply with a gentle fragrance. Lula loves it too.
