Beaucience  supplies unique and exceptional ranges of anti-ageing skin care products for the entire body.

All products contain a breakthrough botanical called PROTEASYL and this special ingredient (which, as a South African manufacturer, is unique to Beaucience) works naturally with the skin to create a more younger looking countenance. From infancy, our skin is at an equilibrium where it is broken down and rebuilt on a continuous basis but as we age, due to slower metabolism and external factors, our skins break down at a more faster rate than that at which it is rebuilt.

Proteasyl (created from the extraction and purification of the pea) restores this equilibrium. The dermal proteins are therefore protected, cell metabolism (the production of collagen and elastin) is stimulated, dermal proteins are repaired and the skin is kept hydrated.

Not only do all products contain Proteasyl, they also contain many other well researched superior ingredients.

We have made use of natural oils and innovative botanicals to ensure healthy, young, glowing skin.

Hemporium is a South African hemp company that was founded in 1996.  They are committed to showcasing all that hemp has to offer by providing quality products made from this eco-friendly and versatile plant. Hemporium is actively lobbying for a legislation change in order to allow farmers to grow this beneficial resource so that we can source all our products, from seed to shirt, locally.

Our hemp cosmetics are truly unique because only hemp oil contains the full complement of all 8 essential fatty acids and in the exact ratio the body needs to absorb them efficiently leaving no residue.  Containing a high percentage of nourishing, super-moisturising hemp-seed oil ensures our hemp cosmetics out-perform even the most expensive beauty creams and hair conditioning masques.  

Hemp cosmetics such as face and body lotions also soothe skin with their natural anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties, thus, reducing redness and healing dry or infected skin.  Frequent use of hemp cosmetics is an excellent way to protect against further infection and significantly reduce the symptoms of eczema, acne or psoriasis.

The story of African Extracts began in 2000 when Cape Town entrepreneur Rob Tiffin developed a Rooibos-based skin-care range for the European market. His company – Scentpac – manufactures a wide range of private label skin-care ranges and gift sets for leading retail stores. With the support of his journalist wife and former beauty editor Sarah Hetherington, the marketing of this uniquely South African skin-care range began.
