The Healing Earth event on August 27th was not only a celebration of sisterhood, friendship, collaboration, leadership and empowerment, but a culmination of two decades of dedication to creating true African Excellence through beauty and wellness.
Elisabeth Brandt has devoted her life’s work to creating a world-class skincare and wellness brand that is kind and gentle to both people and the planet, taking the very best of nature, fused with the latest in skincare innovation, and backed by the latest research and clinical trials.
The launch was nothing short of a sensory extravaganza. Upon arrival at the stately and elegant Forum Embassy Hill, Constantia, guests were greeted by a heavenly bouquet of neroli, orange blossom, and geranium and invited to indulge in a hand-washing ritual, further releasing the divine aromatherapy fragrances and setting the tone for the event. The weather did not disappoint, with blue skies and spring sunshine adding sparkle as guests sipped on champagne in Constantia Nek.
As guests made their way into the light-filled dining area, to take their places at exquisitely laid tables, with thoughtfully crafted, breathtaking, fragrant floral arrangements, they were enveloped in the mysterious resonance of sound healing – an ancient wellness practice drawing on vibrations from singing bowls to produce notes which relax, balance and heal body, mind and soul.
In keeping with Healing Earth’s “soil to skin” ethos, a delicious, nourishing and generous lunch was then served, farm-to-table style, encouraging community, unity and family.
The eagerly anticipated main event, of course, was the revelation of a breakthrough anti-ageing product – Healing Earth’s latest Bokuchiol range; touted as nature’s retinol, Bakuchiol can help to diminish fine lines, revive and brighten the skin, but since it’s much gentler, it can be used in higher concentrations than retinol. Healing Earth’s offering contains 4%, so we’re talking POWERFUL, VISIBLE TRANSFORMATION with better skin tolerance.
Products on offer:
Bakuchiol Glow Drops 30ml – a potent lightweight serum to visibly improve skin texture, firmness, and radiance.
Bakuchiol Eye Elixir 15ml – A gentle eye cream, yet effective, that targets fine lines, dark circles, and puffiness around the delicate eye area.
Bakuchiol Radiance & Renewal Overnight Mask 100ml – An intensive, moisture-rich overnight treatment mask designed to support the skin’s natural renewal process while you sleep.
Bakuchiol Power Glow Day & Night Cream 50ml – A daily nourishing moisturiser that deeply hydrates, revitalises, and firms the skin for a smoother, plumper, and more radiant appearance.
Brimming with the excitement of possibility and the promise of rejuvenation, guests were offered yet another opportunity for renewal in the form of the Healing Journeys Women’s Leadership Initiative, pioneered by Elisabeth Brandt and Samatha Petersen. Attendees were invited to participate in a collaborative, conscious, and multi-generational leadership initiative and program designed to mentor, grow, and lead young women. “This is an opportunity to share knowledge and experience, leave behind a precious legacy and give back,” says Elisabeth.
One of our collaborative partners is Samantha Petersen, a businesswoman and entrepreneur who strongly believes that true leadership begins with inner alignment.
“The Women's Leadership Initiative is not just a programme but a movement of wholeness, legacy and empowerment. It's an intergenerational conscious collaboration of powerful women making a meaningful contribution to the lives of young women, “ she says,
"It is our duty as women to nourish the soil in which young women can rise with purpose, passion, and power."
Elisabeth also shared the exciting progression and future expansion plans of Healing Earth into Europe, as they recently opened an office in Italy in July 2025. The day was a beautiful reflection of connection, innovation, and the shared vision of advancing holistic, conscious luxury together.
The energy in the room was contagious and transformative as guests enjoyed the holistic sensory offerings, sharing, unwrapping, touching, and discovering the products. They immersed themselves in the sound bath, enjoyed the delicious farm-to-table lunch, and were buoyed by the willingness to connect and assist with our mentoring initiative.
“Whilst the growth and expansion of Healing Earth pushes industry standards, I’m also immensely blessed to have such an amazing team assisting me; each of them was utterly selfless, kind and warm, and I couldn’t be more proud. With a lot of excitement and passion, we can’t wait to reveal what is still in store for the near future,” says Elisabeth.
