The proudly South African beauty brand marks its 18th birthday with two locally made additions for face and body, arriving just in time for summer.
Cape Town, September 2026. What started in a South African mother’s kitchen 18 years ago has grown into homegrown skincare brand Naturals Beauty, which is marking its 18th birthday with two new launches: the Re-Gen Peptide Power Serum and Botanical Body Oil.
Both are made in South Africa and arrive just ahead of summer, extending the brand’s approach to uncomplicated skincare from face to body. The Re-Gen Peptide Power Serum introduces more targeted facial care, while the Botanical Body Oil draws on plant oils including Sweet Almond, Jojoba and Baobab to nourish dry skin.
“Eighteen years ago, Naturals Beauty started because I wanted products I felt comfortable using on my own family. That belief in effective, uncomplicated skincare has never changed,” says du Bois. “With these two launches, we wanted to create products that people can easily bring into their day-to-day lives. Re-Gen gives the face more targeted care, while the Botanical Body Oil brings that same attention to the rest of the body.”
Re-Gen Peptide Power Serum: Not just another peptide
Peptides may be familiar territory in skincare, but Naturals Beauty’s new Re-Gen Peptide Power Serum gives the category a fresh point of difference. At the heart of the formula is a 2% biotechnology-derived peptide active, produced using plant-based biotechnology rather than simply following the conventional peptide playbook. This makes the serum more than just another peptide product on the shelf; it brings a science-led, skin-supporting approach to smoother, firmer-looking and more resilient skin.
The formula pairs this next-generation peptide active with Copper Tripeptide-1, known for its skin-conditioning benefits, and mineral-derived Malachite Extract, valued for its antioxidant properties. Yet despite the advanced thinking behind the serum, Re-Gen remains easy to use: apply it to clean skin before moisturiser and sunscreen in the morning, or layer it into an evening routine. Its lightweight, fragrance-free texture makes it simple to use under other skincare products and makeup.
Designed for all skin types, including sensitive skin, Re-Gen is made for anyone wanting to introduce more targeted care into their routine, whether they are choosing their first serum or looking to upgrade an existing skincare ritual with a peptide formula that does things differently.
Botanical Body Oil: natural nourishment from neck to toe
Naturals Beauty’s second launch focuses on the body, combining botanical oils to nourish dry skin without leaving a heavy or greasy feel. The Botanical Body Oil blends Sweet Almond, Jojoba and Baobab oils with Neroli, Rose Geranium and Sweet Orange essential oils.
Sweet Almond Oil helps soften and nourish dry-feeling skin, while lightweight Jojoba Oil helps maintain moisture and softness. Baobab Oil adds further nourishment, while Neroli, Rose Geranium and Sweet Orange give the oil a subtle citrus-floral scent. The silky, fast-absorbing formula leaves skin feeling soft and smooth with a natural-looking glow.
It is particularly suited to summer, when swimming, shaving, sun exposure and air conditioning can leave skin feeling dry or tight. Massage it into slightly damp skin after a bath or shower to help lock in moisture, or use it whenever skin needs a little extra nourishment.
18 years of South African skincare
Naturals Beauty began 18 years ago in du Bois’ kitchen when, as a mother, she went looking for products she felt comfortable using on her family and struggled to find what she wanted on South African shelves.
So, she started making her own.
Today, Naturals Beauty has grown into a proudly South African skincare business, but its focus on naturally inspired ingredients, local manufacturing and uncomplicated products remains central to the brand.
“We’ve learnt so much over 18 years, but I still come back to the same question when we develop something new: does this product have a genuine place in someone’s routine?” says du Bois. “Beauty can become incredibly complicated. We want Naturals Beauty to be the opposite of that. Good ingredients, considered formulations and products that people actually enjoy using.”
The Re-Gen Peptide Power Serum and Botanical Body Oil launched on 23 August 2026 and are available from the Naturals Beauty online store and selected stockists nationwide.
