Where Nature, Science, and Self-Care Collide in a One-of-a-Kind, Hands-On Experience
A New Era of Conscious Skincare
Healing Earth proudly unveiled its latest innovative concept - the Healing Earth Beauty Kitchen - during the inaugural Healing Earth & Fairlawns Boutique Hotel Transformative Wellness Retreat (28 to 30 March 2025).
Curated by Healing Earth founder and CEO Elisabeth Brandt, the Beauty Kitchen is more than a skincare experience - it’s a ritual of self-discovery, ingredient education, and emotional wellbeing. Guests were invited to explore, blend, and create tailor-made skincare formulations using Healing Earth’s award-winning, ethically sourced ingredients.
Every formulation crafted within the Beauty Kitchen honours the brand’s deep commitment to transparency. Each botanical oil, antioxidant, mineral, and active ingredient used is not only selected for its efficacy, but also for its origin story from Fair Trade-sourced African botanicals to sustainably harvested minerals, Healing Earth ensures every ingredient is kind to people, planet, and skin.
“We believe in sharing the ‘why’ behind every ingredient - what it does, where it comes from, and how it supports your skin, health, and the earth.” – says Elisabeth Brandt
Embodying Healing Earth’s Philosophy of Holistic Wellness
The Beauty Kitchen is rooted in the belief that wellness is not just what you put on your skin, it’s a collaboration between the mind, body, and soul. As guests engaged with ingredients through scent, texture, and purpose, they also explored the emotional connection between self-care and self-awareness.
This is the heart of Healing Earth’s advocacy for real beauty - skincare designed for real people, inspired by real stories, and crafted to meet the individual needs of each person’s skin and spirit.
The Rise of Neuroglow and Ritual-Based Wellness
In her keynote address, Brandt introduced the concept of Neuroglow - a growing global movement that blends mental wellbeing with skincare rituals. Neuroglow is about fostering a glow that radiates not just from healthy skin, but from within.
“The future of beauty is emotional,” she shared. “It’s about how you feel when you care for your skin. Our rituals are designed to reduce stress, create joy, and align inner calm with outer radiance.”
Healing Earth’s philosophy of new-age minimalism encourages fewer, but better products, expertly formulated with cutting-edge active ingredients, sustainable sourcing, and targeted efficacy. The Beauty Kitchen brings that philosophy to life, giving each guest the chance to co-create personal formulas and associated rituals that are as unique and dynamic as they are.
A Collaboration Rooted in Harmony
The launch was hosted at the serene Fairlawns Boutique Hotel & Spa in Johannesburg - a tranquil urban oasis known for its lush gardens, Balinese-style spa, and deep focus on holistic experiences. The alignment between Healing Earth and Fairlawns - in values, attention to detail, and celebration of mindful luxury resulted in the perfect partnership for this launch.

Throughout the weekend, the Beauty Kitchen was set against a backdrop of stillness, connection, and glorious nature, supported by the spa’s calming spaces, from the bamboo forest garden, to the open-air salas. Industry guests, including Les Nouvelles Esthétiques Editor-in-Chief Nadine De Freitas, attended and engaged daily with the sessions. The Beauty Kitchen will be featured in the upcoming issue of Les Nouvelles Esthétiques Magazine.

The successful debut of the Healing Earth Beauty Kitchen marks the beginning of a new chapter for the brand - one where education, personal empowerment, and ingredient integrity take centre stage.

- Ingredient transparency
- African-sourced botanical excellence
