About Us
Nathi was born from a shared love of simple rituals, natural ingredients, and creative expression. Now, after months of dreaming, planning, and experimenting, we’ve created a skincare range that feels just right; gentle, honest, and rooted in nature.
This story starts with us,
Two childhood best-friends, farmers’ daughters, and creative dreamers with a little courage and plenty curiosity. Our childhood memories are filled with laughter, wild imagination and adventures in nature.
Who could have guessed life would one day lead us here- creating Nathi, a Macadamia-oil based skincare brand rooted in joy, creativity, and the desire to make people feel good.
For us, Nathi is more than skincare...
It's an expression of creative connection. From the packaging to the formula - designed to brighten your day, bring beauty into the ordinary, and remind us that care can be both simple and joyful.
But why macadamias?
Macadamia nuts produce an oil that is deeply restorative for all skin types. Naturally rich in Omega 3,6 & 9, Squalene, Linoleic and Oleic acid, it reduces inflammation, irritation and moisture loss whilst, promoting skin cell regeneration. It’s lightweight and non-comogenic, leaving your skin soft and smooth without heaviness.
Beyond their skincare benefits, we’re passionate about the industry itself. South Africa is the world’s largest producer of macadamias, and this crop sustains thousands of livelihoods. By choosing macadamia oil, we’re not only creating a product we believe in, we’re also shining a light on an industry that supports so many South Africans.
Why ‘Nathi’?
In isiZulu, ‘Nathi’ translates to “with us”. Born on the macadamia fields of Zululand, our brand carries this name as a reflection of its roots and as an invitation to our community
The cosmetics industry can feel overwhelming, filled with noise and complexity. Nathi chooses a different path: skincare that is simple, clean, sustainable, and intentional.
So, we invite you to learn with us, grow with us, and glow with us. This is just the beginning of our story and we’re so glad you’re part of it.
