This little mini packs a punch! Since Bakuchiol started trending internationally in the natural skincare houses, we’ve been wanting to add it to our product range, so we are particularly excited about this one. It’s your inbetweener skin correcter that contains Bakuchiol – the new natural alternative to retinol (pronounced ba-koo-heel).

If my Dad hadn’t been diagnosed with skin cancer, I probably wouldn’t have pursued my five-year dream and burning desire to create an after-care serum from pomegranate seed oil to soothe and moisturise dry skin.
After chemotherapy treatments, my Dad was struggling with thinning skin and also had ‘sunburnt’ patches from the radiation treatments. Being a world-acclaimed winemaker that was in the spotlight often, I picked up that he became very self-conscious about his skin. If you’ve ever had a loved one going through the journey of cancer, you would know that you would do anything to help that person cope with a diagnosis. READ MORE
One of the great things about markets, expos and trade shows is that we get to interact with you, our clients. I love finding out what people are interested in when it comes to skincare and also the specific questions you have about the use of oils as part of a skincare routine.
And one of the questions we always get is why pomegranate seed oil, so we went straight to the source. In her own words, this is what founder Izette Dreyer has to say:
It was an absolute honour to be selected by the Cosmetic Export Council of South Africa (CECOSA) to travel to Morocco to attend the CBHExpo in Casablanca. The CBHExpo is a trade show that represents the cosmetics and hygiene supply chain. Argan oil, which is produced from the kernels of the argan tree, is endemic to Morocco and a well-known and respected skincare oil. To say it was fascinating to visit the “country of beauty oil” is an understatement.
We’ve known for years that the early bird catches the worm, but lately the interwebs seem fixated on morning rituals, with plenty of advice, tips and ideas for super-sizing your morning to set the right tone for the day.
The well-deserved indulgence of the Festive Season often sees us frantically making elaborate health and beauty resolutions. Of course, the intention is admirable, but by Valentine’s Day we haven’t exfoliated our faces once, gone to sleep without removing makeup at least twice, and feel a general sense of despair about ageing ungracefully.
Stop right there and rethink the resolutions. I’ve got four super easy ones.
Stick with these and you’ll thank me in 20 years.
Love
Izette
Our Pomegranate Pamper Packs were such a hit at KAMERS/Makers 2018 Stellenbosch that we’re giving you another chance to order the Royale SA x Sammy Sheppard Art gift pack.
When you put action behind a dream, miracles start happening. This is what Izette Dreyer, founder and owner of Royale Afrique du Sud, South Africa’s foremost producer of Pomegranate Seed Oil, not only believes to be true, but is proof of.
Natural skincare isn’t just some here-today-gone-tomorrow trend, it’s a lifestyle choice with far-reaching health, beauty and wellness benefits that’s more than just skin deep.
The revamped Royalesa.com was about a year in the making. For refreshing our corporate identity to doing a lifestyle and product shoot to overhauling the entire website – it’s done and we couldn’t be more delighted!
