Humble Beginnings
Our Story
My late mother Elvy is the inspiration behind this wonderful range of completely natural skincare. She came from a long family tradition of using all-natural herbal remedies to aid in the healing process of many ailments. Both of her great grandmothers were well known in their time, for their incredible healing remedies.
Following in their footsteps, Elvy began making healing creams for her family and friends which lovingly became known as "Nanna's creams". Elvy knew first-hand the healing benefits of herbs. She overcame Diabetes type II after three months of being diagnosed due largely to the healing properties within her herbal natural remedies. Three years later she was diagnosed with breast cancer and once again she relied on her herbal remedies to help her fight the ailments that were plaguing her.
Fed up with the harsh synthetic chemicals that exist in the world we now live in, and with the solid belief that it should be possible for everyone to be able to care for their skin in an organic and harmonious way, she began creating healing remedies in the form of a skin care range and thus ENVISAGE was born!
Many years later, Elvy was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and finally succumbed to her ailments after an incredibly brave fight. But her legacy lives on. Living up to a deathbed vow, her son Johan and his wife Kentley have revitalised her entire range of skincare, bringing all the wonderful richness that Elvy embodied in her creams with new and exciting active ingredients and extracts and bound them together with love and tenderness as Elvy always did. The final touch was to rename the brand.
We’re so proud to introduce our wonderful range of skincare and to present “Elvy” the new old name in organic and natural skincare.
