How The Love For Mother Nature Led Wayne And Olivia Nel To Establish Matsimela Home Spa. Matsimela Home Spa is an authentic South African brand which started out as a home-grown business by husband-and-wife team, Wayne and Olivia Nel.
Living on a 45-acre property in Gauteng with an array of indigenous game and 2 beautiful rivers running through it, allows Wayne and Olivia to truly connect to nature, thereby allowing them to appreciate the beautiful elements of their surroundings.
Their love for mother nature and all the good inherent qualities of South Africa gave rise to a distinctly African brand with a distinctly African name. Matsimela is an Indigenous word meaning “roots” and originates from the African language, Sotho, ‘We are returning to our roots in all that we do to enrich you with our African heritage’. Empowering men and women to be self-sustainable is the company’s goal, it also seeks to allow its staff to nurture and grow in their respective positions.
The company’s philosophy is to create a unique and ever-evolving product range that incorporates the finest natural ingredients selected for their beneficial properties. It endeavours to source & obtain its raw materials through Southern African based companies that in turn support local farms that produce the beautiful African Ubuntu oils & extracts. Its suppliers source oils from over 30 farmers throughout Africa and surrounding islands.
Matsimela’s product ranges makes use of materials, raws and packaging that are kind to people and the planet, which complements Matsimela’s focus on plant-derived cosmetic ingredients which support sustainable products, fair trade and the global trend towards organic and safe products. The company’s products are not tested on animals and are cruelty free. It strictly stays away from harsh preservatives and can proudly state that its products are paraben free.
