Organic Touch By Miss Gates Seeks To Use Organic Ingredients For Its Skincare Products. Organic Touch by Miss Gates is a Cosmetics Beauty Brand under Miss Gates Global Projects Pty Ltd which was founded by Seipati Masango in 2016, it is a brand specialising in skin care with a touch of organic ingredients. “Well it all started when I was still employed as an HR Officer. I always loved everything that has to do with beauty and I used to mix my own facial mask and facial treatments. Then a friend of mine suggested that I should sell my mixes and make some extra cash on the side and the rest is history.” Masango told Zkhiphani.
Organic Touch mainly focuses on creating a skin care range for body and facial products, using natural and organic ingredients that are safe, effective and good for all skin types. It uses ingredients such as Shea Butter, Coconut Oil, Olive Oil and 100% Essential Oils. These ingredients have proven to heal cracked heels, skin peeling, eczema, dry skin, and remove dead skin cells. They have anti-ageing benefits as well as improved skin elasticity. The brand’s ingredients are carefully selected to leave the skin extremely soft and luxurious as it restores the skin’s natural texture. At the current moment, all products are handmade and it hopes to grow and employ people once the production and sales increase. She also told Zkhiphani that, “My products are organic and use 100% essential oils and carrier oils, the ingredients have healing quantities for the skin and they’re very effective from the first day of use. Most teenagers do experience a lot of skin problems, and at times that usually kills their self-esteem, therefore trying my products would be beneficial to them.”
