We are based in Stanford, South Africa, surrounded by the pristine natural beauty of the Cape along the Southern tip of Africa. Kudu, our name and brand inspired by the majestic antelope, a kind, gentle and beautiful creature. Like the Kudu we intend to do no harm when creating our products. Rather we aim to create and deliver high quality eco-friendly skincare products with only gentle ingredients for balanced beautiful skin.

Equally, we have an obligation to our entire production chain to ensure fairness to all prevails from the small local Moringa or Marula farmer growing and planting trees supporting local communities to the products arrive at your home or local retailer. We remain steadfast and dedicated in maintaining transperency, quality, decency and fairness to all along this path we travel.

NATURAL, GENTLE & KIND TO YOUR SKIN

‘Less is more’, our formulations are designed to give you all the best skincare ingredients with none of the harsh additives for healthy, glowing skin.

Our thoughtful packaging and amber glass bottles are created to protect our antioxidant-rich skincare solutions from UV light and oxidation. This ensures the stability and effectiveness of our clean beauty products, giving your skin the care it deserves.

Our products are EU and UK compliant in accordance with Regulation (EU) No.1223/2009).

SUSTAINABLE & ETHICAL PRACTICE

We focus strongly on social responsibility. Whenever possible we source locally and support local small businesses. We like to support small African businesses that cultivate and harvest organically in a sustainable manner. Projects include our Moringa oil which is produced from seeds grown by smallholders in rural parts of Malawi who manage and harvest crops from donated Moringa trees.

Our sustainable packaging initiatives are ongoing and include boxes made with post-consumer recycled materials, printing with eco-friendly ink, and exclusively using recyclable glass bottles.

NO ANIMAL TESTING

Our products are 100% cruelty free. We do not and will never carry out animal testing and we do not source ingredients from any companies that test on animals.
