POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

The last few days, while my sister and I have been building our little corner at KAMERS, I’ve been thinking a lot about the word maker.

For us, it really does mean making.

We source our ingredients. We formulate. We mix, pour, test and tweak. I test our products on set, in the real world, before they ever reach you. We label, pack, carry boxes, build displays — and, apparently, climb ladders and hang hessian too.

There are so many hands-on hours behind every little Sōji and IRO product you see on that shelf.

It’s exhausting, slightly chaotic and very much a labour of love — but standing back and looking at what we’ve built, I’m incredibly proud that it is genuinely ours, from beginning to end.

Made by us. Tested by us. Built by us.

And now, finally, ready for you.

Cape Town, you said it better than we ever could.

Brilliant. Magnificent. Amazing.
And apparently, according to one Waterfront pigeon… pKah!

This Heritage Day, we’re celebrating the people, cultures, characters and wonderfully unexpected moments that make the V&A Waterfront, and our home city, what it is.

And yes, it turns out they were talking about us.

Sōji Skincare.
Award-winning skincare, formulated and made in Cape Town.

Happy Heritage Day, South Africa.

A little behind the scenes with the incredible Minki van der Westhuizen.

There’s something I love about those completely unscripted moments on set…

“Oeh, dit ruik lekker.” 🤍

That was Minki’s first reaction to our Sōji Body Butter as I applied it to her skin. Rich and nourishing, with subtle light-reflecting particles that help soften the appearance of redness and give the skin that beautiful, luminous, more youthful-looking finish.

And her verdict once she saw it?

“Oh wow… amazing.”

For the finishing touch, I used IRO Multi-Stick in Burnt Honey on her lips to create that gorgeous warm, softly defined 90s lip. And honestly, she looks incredible.

From glowing skin to that Burnt Honey lip, a little Sōji behind the scenes with a South African icon.

✨ THE MIDLIFE EDIT ✨

A morning for women who are ready to understand what’s happening to their bodies — and embrace this next chapter with confidence.

Perimenopause and menopause can bring changes to so much more than your periods. Your hormones, body composition, skin, energy, nutrition, pelvic health, confidence and the way you feel in your own skin can all shift.

And you don’t have to navigate it alone. 🤍

Join four women’s health experts for a morning of honest conversation, practical advice and expert insight into the changes that come with midlife.

✨ Nutrition & women’s health
✨ Hormones & the changing body
✨ Skin, beauty & confidence
✨ Pelvic & women’s health
✨ Real conversations about what nobody tells you

Come with your questions. Leave feeling informed, empowered and more at home in your body.

📅 19 September 2026
⏰ 9am – 1pm
📍 Huppelland Clubhouse, Varsity Street, Tamboerskloof, Cape Town

🎟️ Tickets available via Quicket.

Because midlife isn’t something to get through.

It’s a chapter worth stepping into fully. 🤍

Everybody keeps pointing in the same direction.

“Sōji is this way.”
“Sōji is over there.”
“Sōji? Just keep walking.”

So we asked people around the Waterfront where Sōji is.

Apparently, everybody knows.

Now all that’s left is for you to find us.

The gloss your boyfriend approves of. A sheer pink tint, a soft shine, and lips that look like you’ve been drinking water, minding your business, and winning at life.

IRO Gloss.

Proceed with caution.

Wabi-Sabi

A Japanese philosophy that finds beauty in authenticity, simplicity, and the marks left by time and human hands.

It reminds us that nothing is perfect, nothing lasts forever, and nothing needs to.

Back on set.
And yes — the products I created for models are the same ones sitting on my kit today.

Sōji skincare preps the skin.
IRO brings the colour back in.

The best part? They were never designed for a bathroom shelf first. They were designed for long shoot days, harsh lighting, tired skin, quick touch-ups and real faces in front of a camera.

Tested on set.
Made in Cape Town.
Used daily by me.

Some things get better with use.
Like leather jackets, cast iron pans… and apparently this gloss.

The more it lives in your handbag, the richer the tint looks in the tube, a little evidence of all the good stuff inside settling into itself. The shine, feel and finish on the lips? Still the same soft wash of colour. IRO by Sōji. Handmade things tend to develop character.
