My Introduction
My Venture
I PLUS ZG
Established in 2022, I PLUS ZG is a South African natural cosmetics brand based in Gqeberha, Eastern Cape, born directly from my personal struggle as a founder with highly sensitive skin and low-density hair. Unable to find products that met my expectations without being prohibitively expensive, I created the brand to bridge this gap by offering high-quality, accessible solutions. While some of our core products are already SABS-certified and validated by the University of Limpopo, the business is still actively scaling up and finding its feet in the market, utilizing local reseller networks and emerging global e-commerce platforms to grow.
