L’abeille was chosen as being a “Perfect example of locally developed and innovative products using MERCK Actives”. The South African stand displaying some of the L'abeille products won 2nd place in this global meeting.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:20.4pt;background:white;overflow-wrap: break-word;white-space:pre-wrap'><span style='font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif'>The key ingredient, Renoumer, is one of the revolutionary ingredients that has set L’abeille apart from the rest. “There are not many products available globally yet that contain Renoumer – this is an incredible achievement”, added a representative for MERCK, one of the oldest and most trusted cosmetic raw material suppliers in the world. L’abeille offers a unique packaging concept – Miron Violet Glass, which serves as part of its preservation system. This makes it possible for us to use natural preservative systems and escape the need of parabens or formaldehyde releasing preservatives. We are the only South African brand using this type of glass as part of this concept. We are very proud of the ethics we carry through all of our decisions relating to the choices and manufacturing of the L’abeille Skincare Range.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center;line-height:0%;background:white'><span style='font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><h2 align=right style='margin-top:0in;text-align:right;line-height:14.4pt;background:white;white-space:pre-wrap'><em><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:windowtext'>“The floral extracts and honey used in L’abeille would not be possible without our bee colonies, which are so important for the sustainable existence of all our beautiful flowers, hence the use of L’abeille as our brand name.”</span></em><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:windowtext'><o:p></o:p></span></h2><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center;line-height:0%;background:white'><span style='font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center;line-height:0%;background:white'><span style='font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:20.4pt;line-height:20.4pt;background:white;overflow-wrap: break-word;white-space:pre-wrap'><strong><span style='font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif'>Tell us a little about your team</span></strong><span style='font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:20.4pt;line-height:20.4pt;background:white;overflow-wrap: break-word;white-space:pre-wrap'><span style='font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif'>For now, it is only me, a few amazing and inspiring women, and my family that continue to stand behind me, but I plan to grow the business to include more South African contractors and to employ workers with the same passion for the brand and this type of business as me.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:20.4pt;line-height:20.4pt;background:white;overflow-wrap: break-word;white-space:pre-wrap'><strong><span style='font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif'>Share a little about your entrepreneurial journey.

After seeing a gap in the market for natural, yet high performance skincare, and after studying further in anti-aging formulations skills and advanced cosmetic science, L'abeille took shape. After much trial, error and testing, it was launched in 2017.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:20.4pt;line-height:20.4pt;background:white;overflow-wrap: break-word;white-space:pre-wrap'><span style='font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif'>L’abeille is a story of my heritage and my home country. Having French descent, but being born and raised in South Africa, I decided to combine my love for both. In the L’abeille range I have combined exquisite African oils with some outstanding high-performance actives, some being harvested off the breathtakingly beautiful coastline of Brittany, France. The floral extracts and honey used in L’abeille would not be possible without our bee colonies, which are so important for the sustainable existence of all our beautiful flowers, hence the use of L’abeille as our brand name.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:20.4pt;line-height:20.4pt;background:white;overflow-wrap: break-word;white-space:pre-wrap'><strong><span style='font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif'>What are your future plans and aspirations for your company?</span></strong><span style='font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:20.4pt;line-height:20.4pt;background:white;overflow-wrap: break-word;white-space:pre-wrap'><span style='font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif'>My vision is to grow L’abeille into a household name in Luxury Skincare, and to make it available worldwide.
