Black n Gold −
Inspired By You

Melissa Botha

The Black n Gold skincare line, was created after resoundingly positive results in development and testing stages, and specifically formulated for the dark, sultry African skin.

Sometimes, unexpected results end up being an even greater achievement, with even better design features, than initially intended.

As the formulator and founder of Black n Gold, I wanted to keep our product line as natural as possible, with natural additives instead of chemical variants or infusions that often times, do marvellous things in the short term, but wreak havoc for your health and Skin over time.

I wanted something natural. Something sustainable and sumptuous. Something that the African woman (and man) could be proud to share, even with the most loved people in their lives.

I wanted a product that reflected the gifts of Africa, the power of Africa, and of course the beauty of her people. A people, that for millennia, have harvested the gifts of the earth, to empower their healing, and creation of the most beautiful.

Queens and empresses have utilised the very ingredients we use in our products today, and the modern African woman has the advantage of cutting-edge technology, combined with tried and proven ancient extractions, infused and ready to be absorbed, with the convenience of a jar or bottle of Black n Gold magic.

Black n Gold products are excellent in intense nourishing treatments, penetrating deeply into the skin with concentrated ingredients, creating results that lighten, brighten, target pigmentation, and create pH balance within the skin. Once the pH balance of your skin has been maintained, your skin creates its own miracles.

Our treatment products are rich in Omega 6 fatty acids which stimulates skin cell growth, helping to regenerate and restructure skin cells to keep your skin feeling supple and firm.

The products can also be effective at helping to repair skin damage and scars.

Rich in antioxidants, vitamins A, C and E, Black n Gold naturally reduces inflammation, is hydrating and tightening with many of our clients feeling as though their skin has had a face lift.

Our signature and most popular products are simply a must have when wanting a bright, even, and healthy skin tone.

Our Day and Night Repair Creams are superb for fine lines and wrinkles, pigmentation, inflammation, acne and more.

Our Skin Repair Balm, originally formulated to fix cracked heels, renamed Skin Repair, is great for acne, scarring, fever blisters / cold sores, itchy bites, open wounds, eczema, psoriasis and more.

Our Eye Cream targets fine lines and wrinkles, dark circles, and puffiness.

Our Cleanser is a creamy formulation, gentle, yet effective, and cleanses deeply into the skin, maintaining the skin's balance. The Toner is applied after cleansing, as a secondary cleanse, and can double up as a make-up remover.

Our products are gentle, yet effective, with visible results, and ideal for all skin types, from oily to dry, to sensitive.

Give them a try, and watch the striking beauty of the African Queen, reveal herself in your mirror.

Cultivating with seeds of Hope in Recyclable Bags

Giving our plants the best start in life is always a cultivators top priority. When you are shopping for something to grow in a pot, something made of plastic springs to mind, but how nice does that really look?

Cultivating Harmoniously

We are truly blessed with the multitude of cannabis warriors fighting the battle for freedom of the plant, here in South Africa. Some having walked a treacherous path in pursuit of emancipation for both consumers, and the right of choice itself.

Botany Basics

We often forget about the basic botany that is applicable to growing all things. You may scratch deep in archives of your brain, searching for those basic boring plant cross sections you HAD to absorb & replicate in every biology exam from Grade 5 to grade 10 (for us oldy's, Standard 3 - 8).
