About Us

Salt & Honey – Skin fed by Nature was founded by Catherine Rowe.  Originally from Australia she has lived in Johannesburg for over 15 years and now proudly calls South Africa home. Catherine’s vision was to create a range of premium, quality, highly effective, 100% natural skincare that particularly targets the effects of the South African climate on our skin.  She envisaged helping people feel confident in their own skin while promoting clean, non-toxic ingredients and sustainable packaging.  Catherine formulates and produces all Salt & Honey Skin products at our boutique store situated in Birdhaven, Johannesburg.

The fundamental principle behind our range is simple, honest, natural skincare that works.

Simple.  Simple routines lead to constant routines, the easier your skincare routine is the more likely you are to stick to it.  We believe that skincare doesn’t need to be complicated,  and that our simple, pure skincare allows the skin to breathe and regulate its natural processes resulting in healthier and more balanced skin.

Honest.  We pride ourselves on valuing the well-being of our clients and prioritise transparency, we use only genuine, premium plant-based ingredients without any harmful chemicals and additives.  By providing accurate information about our products we empower our clients to make informed choices about their skincare routine in turn fostering a trustworthy and authentic relationship with our customers. 

Natural.  We use 100% natural ingredients in all our formulations avoiding all synthetic chemicals and toxic ingredients which reduces the risk of irritation and adverse reactions, providing a gentle, holistic approach that promotes healthier and more radiant skin.

Skincare that works.  Our products are all formulated with premium natural ingredients that specifically target our harsh climate.  We utilise beneficial properties sourced from nature, such as antioxidants, vitamins and botanical extracts, which are gentle on the skin, effectively nourish and hydrate, and help restore the natural balance resulting in healthier, more vibrant looking skin.
