Products

All questions regarding Healing Earth products.

Healing Earth is the pioneer of vinotherapy products and treatments in South Africa and utilises the essence of Africa’s richest ingredients to enhance the look, feel and function of the skin. Healing Earth products are dedicated to a long term partnership with your skin to promote the natural firming and healing abilities which lie more than skin deep.
As such, Healing Earth products are scientifically proven to:
  • Stimulate the natural process of skin renewal and regeneration to affect positive changes in the skin.
  • Generate a visible change in the condition of the skin
  • Penetrate at a cellular level for optimum delivery of active ingredients.
  • Healing Earth strictly omits the “nasties”, the entire range is free from:
  • DEA’s (Diethanolamine) and NDEA’s
  • Artificial colourants
  • Artificial fragrances
  • Harmful preservatives
  • SLS and other sodium sulphates
  • No animal testing
Differences in our products do not signify a compromise in the quality of the ingredients; rather, they underscore the inherent charm of a truly natural creation. Ingredients derived directly from nature, untouched by any chemical alterations, inevitably undergo fluctuations influenced by various factors such as yield, seasonal variations, temperature, and more.
Consider, for instance, two flowers plucked from the same Orange Blossom Tree; despite their common origin, subtle disparities emerge, be it in their brightness, size, or fragrance intensity. Similarly, the taste of two oranges, harvested at different times or from distinct trees, might exhibit even greater divergence. Factors such as sunlight exposure and growth conditions contribute to these natural variations.
The behavior of shea butter, akin to coconut oil, includes the tendency to soften or liquefy in warmer surroundings. Consequently, products featuring this ingredient may also experience a similar transition. It is important to note that this transformation does not compromise the quality or effectiveness of shea butter or the final product; rather, it serves as evidence of the raw and unprocessed nature of the shea butter we utilize. While we have the option to procure chemically 'refined' shea butter*, we consciously opt against it.
Although Healing Earth's products may not be entirely vegan, our ongoing commitment is to minimize the use of animal-derived ingredients whenever feasible. As technology continues to progress, we aim to gradually phase out the incorporation of such components. Some of our ingredients that might be sourced from animals include Lactic Acid, etc.
For individuals adhering to a vegan lifestyle, we strongly advise consulting the ingredient lists to identify any animal-derived components.
Yes, but of course use common sense. We recommend patch testing before first usage. If you experience any sensitivity or redness, discontinue use immediately.

To maintain the optimal quality of your products, we recommend storing them at room temperature in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid exposing them to extreme hot or cold conditions. While temperature variations do not directly impact product efficacy, they can influence texture; excessive heat may result in a slightly runnier consistency, while excessive cold can lead to thickening. Our goal is to ensure our creams and serums provide a smooth, silky application!
Store your products in a cool, shaded area, and prevent them from getting wet. Keep a close eye on them, and if you observe any changes in texture, colour, or scent, it's advisable to discard the product immediately. When in doubt, err on the side of caution.
If you experience irritation, redness, or itchiness, discontinue use and inform us promptly. Your satisfaction and well-being are our priorities!
Yes, we do offer pregnancy-safe products in our range. However, it's important to note that not all of our products are recommended for use during pregnancy.
