A month ago I was in Mozambique with a very red face, sore, burning and didn’t know what to do. I couldn’t go out because the sun screen I used was making my face burn. The lady who ran the Spa told me about Africology, I went and she said to me, that my face was very, very sensitive. She cleansed, toned and put moisturizer on my face and it didn’t sting. I have used it every day since.
My problem hasn’t gone, I still put the cortisone cream on but nothing like I had been. This started 15 years ago I was told by my GP it was Rosacea, a dermatologist told me it was steroidal eczema. I have had, over the past 20 years had a lot of steroid injections in a very bad neck problem I have, I was told I could take antibiotics forever!
I am so sensitive that I reacted to antibiotic cream, eczema baby cream, even eye ointment, any cream that wasn’t steroid mixed with Astral cream.
Imagine my joy in Africa when even my Astral was stinging finding this cream called Africology was soothing, kind and nice to use which was a bonus. I am going to carry on using the cream and hope I will eventually not have to use the steroid cream at all. I think it is amazing cream.

Good day,
I purchased your products when I was on holiday at Zebula Spa in December and thank God my skin is youthfully glowing.

I've recently been on a course in SA. At the Hotel, I sampled the complimentary gel and was pleasantly surprised to have a good night's sleep.
It worked wonders as I cannot sleep in a strange environment.

Hi there,
My mom gave me a sachet of your sleep gel that she received in a hotel in SA about a year ago. I couldn't believe how well it worked on my daughter, who was about a year old at the time. Then my husband and I went to Bumi Hills Safari Lodge over the New Year's holidays, and I was thrilled to see that they use your product in their Spa. I couldn't wait to get a treatment, and I completely fell in love with your product. I didn't even want to wash my clothes as they still smelled of the massage oils and body butter. I cannot wait to go to South Africa, and I'm saving up to buy myself a heap load of your products to bring back with me. Thank you for the most amazing product ever. Nothing says Africa more than Africology, and getting a treatment with your product while watching the view over Kariba dam was just breath-taking.
- T. Pretorius
Thank you for the beautiful concept that you have. Africology is the best in all levels. You have captured my belief and vision of health and wellness exactly how I would want to do it. During the training last week I felt home and I had a sense of belonging.

Hi,
I reside in Arizona, USA. Last October/November I went on a two week trip to South Africa and Botswana. Needless to say, I loved it. Also, I enjoyed a couple of spa treatments, where they used your product. I purchased the "BODY BUTTER" and the "CONDITIONING BODY OIL". I was wanting the bottle of Marula Oil but they were out. Anyway, I am interested in more of your products, I am being quite frugal because I am afraid I can’t get any more. Everyone I come in contact with while wearing these products are WOW, what do you have on? The fragrance does something to my soul. I
would like to use it at least 5-7 days a week. Is it possible to get a brochure? Is your product anywhere in the US? If not, maybe it needs to be. When I believe in something, I am very good at promoting it.
Thank you,
C. A. Pierce
I recently won an Africology hamper by entering an sms competition in the Mercury Newspaper.
It contains the masque, exfoliator, sun care products , lip balm and rose balm.
What a gift! The fragrances and textures are just so luxurious and incredible. I love the feel on my skin and they truly do lift the senses.
This is a prize I would not have been able to buy for myself and I am most grateful to have been given the opportunity to try your products!
Having trained as a nurse and also having run a health shop, I by far prefer the use of natural products
Thank you once again for the wonderful gift!
Regards

Hello Eliana,
First let me state that I just returned from a trip to South Africa where I had the opportunity to experience the beautiful country, a Safari at Ivory Tree Lodge in Pilanasburg. It was at the spa at Ivory Tree where I enjoyed the Africology product during a facial. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and noticed a difference in my skin right away.
Thank you very much.
Sincerely,
LM. Reader
Renchia,

Hello,
Just need to share something with you...last week a Canadian Volunteer came for her day off to Zebula and treatment at your SPA. She also bought herself a few things, amongst them this lotion cream..... Africology Body Butter.
Now, yesterday I took Brenda up with me to the release site where we rehabilitated 27 Monkeys at Safarilands in Marken....and although all of the Monkeys made no contact to us or other Humans since we opened up their release cages 2. January 2010.....yesterday some males walked pass us, stopping to take a closer "smell" from Brenda's legs.....this happened a few times.....so I started smelling the product...and thought of Marula...and Monkeys loving Marulas like crazy...it made all sense now....that I checked the label of the product.....
So, just thought I have to share this story with you.....seems to be a 'magnet' for Vervet Monkey Males.......smile
Brenda was kind enough to let me try the product and I must admit it feels great.....and all my babies [we have 8 Pinkfaces here] are loving me even more and don't want to get off any longer.....smile
Lots of Monkey Luvies from Bambelela,
Silke
I was visiting South Africa this past Nov.
It was the best trip I have ever taken.
I was introduced to your product line while staying at the Cape Grace Hotel in Cape Town. I must say I am so impressed with your company and products.
I would like to know the minimum purchase you require for a wholesale account and if I can open one.
I live in Southampton NY and Aspen Co. USA.
I look forward to hearing from you,
Kindly,
Rachel
I was at Sabi Sabi and had massages with your products. I brought back with me to London many bottles. My cellulite is disappearing like a miracle. I'm so proud of my skin using your products. Where can I get your products in London? I have run out and am so afraid not to lose touch with my 2nd skin- which is what I call your products.
I dont mind ordering on line and you posting them out to me.
I am a pharmacist and into medical projects management company which I have been running as my company under the name Kiwi medical Services ltd, UK in London since 2007 for the 'emerging' countries. I primarily now work in Trinidad, Ghana, Botswana, Nigeria and Uganda.
If you dont have an agency in the UK, I am prepared to take this one and open a shop for your products. As I have benefitted immersely from your products, I feel 'selfish' if your products are not MADE KNOWN to the rest of the WORLD and I mean it. I hope your marketing team are putting this in place for the good of mankind.
I sincerely wish you well and a huge success beyond your own dreams. I said this years ago about Body Shop when we worked together in Switzerland and it happened.
Your range of product is MORE REAL than any other, SO THE SKY IS THE LIMIT. Please be kind to us all and let your product range be available in every continent. DONT BE SHY, the products speak for itself. The taste of the pudding is in its eating. I was reluctant to use it at Sabi sabi, and thank goodness for that african lady who encouraged me that I will never regret it. SHE IS SO CORRECT. The only regret that may be is IF I DONT GET TO STOCK UP ON THE PRODUCTS. Please help me to stock up in London, I am on my last few drops.
Best wishes and good luck.
YOUR CONVERT.

Hi
I recently got a tub of Africology Body Balm from a friend of mine after complaining to her about my eczema problem.
I have more friends with eczema issues and so far this is really the best product I've used - it DOES work!
Is there any place in Cape Town that stocks these products?
Many Thanks
L. Moodley
I live in Zimbabwe, and recently received two of your Sleep Gel sachets from my folks - I think they got it from a hotel they stayed in. It works wonders for my 9 month old, and since I've been using it on her before her bed time she's been sleeping through the night. Thank you!!! I was wondering where I could purchase more of this amazing gel, and how much it is. Please could you let me know urgently, as my dad will be in South Africa next week, and I'm hoping that he'd be able to get me some while he's there.
Thank you,
Tessa
Hi Renchia,
I have recently been at a Health Spa and took a sample of your sleep gel. It is working wonders for me and would like to find out from you where I can buy this gel.
Your assistance is greatly appreciated.
Best regards
Marie
Dear Renchia.
I truly admire your product and what you have done for organic and holistic Skin Care in South Africa.
I'm a Health and Skin Care Therapist myself, and Africology has truly inspired me.
After reading up about the treatments and product philosophy, I fell totally in-love with therapy once more.
Even though I don't work with the product everyday, I have bought some home products, and I find myself recommending it anyway!
I love that being a Skin Care therapist doesn't just have to be about beauty, but that one can incorporate Reiki or healing techniques into every treatment.
I have been working in this manner for years, but never knew there was a product range and philosophy out there that actually encouraged it.
I have also always used crystals and aromatherapy, and here you have created a product with organic essential oils, and crystal charging! All from Mother Africa!
How wonderful!!
Congratulations and may you prosper even further.
May you have a lovely day.
Light & love.
Warm regards,
R. Engelbrecht.

Our Vision
We have a passion for the healing essence of plant life and the restorative power of essential oils. We blend this insight with our respect for the wisdom of traditional healers. Our aim is to share this overarching wisdom with all.
How we Formulate
Where possible we use only organic ingredients. Our products are free of toxic chemicals, including dangerous preservatives. Our focus is on capturing the intelligence of nature in the restorative process. Knowing that the essence of nature can synergistically interact with your energy system forms the basis of our creations.
Safety in Skin Care
Product packaging plays an important role in health care, glass being the safest, and aluminium containers being amongst the most toxic.
Heavenly Aromas
Aromatherapy has been used for centuries for spiritual and medicinal purposes. The ancients incorporated it into their prayer practice, and for healing. Today it is also used to clear oppressive atmospheres.
Botanicals
Africology strives to use energetic elements of plants in our formulating practices. The use of radionics to transfer energetic patterns to our products is another special way of keeping our products constantly alive, ready to energetically interact with your energy field, to restore and balance the skin’s immunity.
Home Care
Africology products have been developed so naturally that it grants you the freedom to custom-blend and change your daily routine to accomodate your changing body and skin. Throughout a single month our bodies go through various processes that effect appearance, oil secretions, redness and hydration levels and many more functions of the skin. We have discovered and learnt that if we treat the skin on a dalily/weekly basis we are able to give the skin what it requires, thus assisting the body's natural processes and ensuring great results.
The Essence of Holistic Skin Care
Your body is an energy field, transforming and intelligent. By knowing this, you will begin to experience it as a flexible, dynamic bundle of consciousness, rather than as a fixed material thing.
