South African anti-aging ‘cosmetic superfruits’ skincare range to launch on national U.S. television

Published: 17 March 2015

For Immediate Release CONTACT: Jacqui Buchanan Tel: +1-650-888-7004 South African anti-aging ‘cosmetic superfruits’ skincare range to launch on national U.S. television Katavi Botanicals, an anti-aging, all-natural skincare range that draws on indigenous African extracts, is thrilled to announce it will debut its skincare range on EVINE Live’s television show Before and After Beauty™ Friday, March 20.

The show will air at 7:30pm EST and can also be watched worldwide online on your computer, tablet or smartphone. Based on the ‘Big 5 cosmetic superfruits’ native to Africa (Kigelia, Baobab, Marula, Mongongo, and Moringa), Katavi’s range of beauty creams harnesses the power of these natural wonders and targets the noticeable effects of environmental stress on skin.

“These remarkable plants thrive in harsh, dry climates under a relentless equatorial sun,” says Katavi CEO Gus Le Breton, an ethno-botanist. “They did this by evolving to develop natural, photo-protective abilities, unique compounds, potent phyto-chemicals and antioxidants.” Exposure to sunlight, smoke, and toxins from polluted air is a significant cause of premature aging, which can result in dull-looking skin with fine lines, deep wrinkles, dark spots and uneven skin tone¬—known as photo-aging.

“Our proprietary formulas are a carefully selected combination of plant extracts we consider to be ‘cosmetic superfruits’ because, when applied topically, these extracts can help keep our skin looking and feeling significantly younger,” Le Breton says.

Katavi’s Founding Story Katavi was founded by two Southern African friends, Janine Halsted, a certified beauty therapist, and Carolyn Berman. Halsted grew up in Zimbabwe where her father—a cosmetic scientist—became fascinated with the traditional extracts used by African healers and began experimenting with them for his own formulations.

“We’d spend weekends in local villages,” Halsted says, “and my father would come home with all kinds of strange plants, don his white coat and start mixing.” Carolyn Berman, a childhood friend of Halsted’s, was the first to try her father’s formulations.

“Her skin began looking absolutely radiant,” Halsted says. “When she admitted she’d been persuaded to try one of my father’s stinky creams, I immediately took it for clinical testing.” “We were the first to use Kigelia in a skincare range,” Berman says.

“Kigelia is an incredibly difficult ingredient when used at a high percentage. But through 25 years of patience and perseverance, we’ve not only identified ingredients that have a good synergy with Kigelia, we’ve also determined the perfect quantities to ensure each ingredient challenges the other to peak performance.”

Jacqui Buchanan, a partner and representative of Katavi, will join EVINE Live host Heather Hall to share Katavi’s story and product range on the live TV show.

“Katavi’s compelling story instantly caught my attention,” Buchanan says. “Growing up in South Africa I was outdoors much of the time under the harsh African sun,” she says. “After five years of using Katavi, my skin now constantly feels hydrated and looks much brighter and healthier.”

“I’m also impressed that their key ingredients are ethically harvested in a sustainable manner and rural African communities benefit from the process—particularly women.”

Hair Detangler School SA Reveals Good News For Women With Tangled Matted Hair

Published: 27 January 2015

Johannesburg, South Africa ( January 27, 2015) - Women with severely, matted and tangled hair can breathe a sigh of relief, following Hair Detangler School’s revelation of a new product they have been using to effectively treat hairs of this nature.

Hair Detangler School SA offers professional detangling service, unique to Africa, for those who want to get rid of tangles and mats in their hair without cutting their mane. 

The Take Down Remover cream is and American product and the only one that the professional’s at Hair Detangler School SA  use.  They do not use conditioner, glycerin, or water based products-as it makes severely matted/tangled hair worse.

Apart from effectively treating tangled, matted hair, the Take Down Remover Cream can be used in the detangling of dreadlocks, braids, sew-in weaves, twists and extensions.  It is also excellent option for the removal of bonding glue and keratin heat fusion bonds.

Senior Detangle Tech Trainers at Hair Detangler School SA state that "Most hairdressers just want to cut very matted tangled hair. They do not know about the Take Down Remover or the techniques needed to successfully detangle. Furthermore, they just can't be bothered with devoting a day or two days to detangling hair." Also they emphasize that "We do, however, train hairdressers who want to learn."

Improved Dreadlock Removal Process Developed

Published: 24 January 2015

23, January 2015 –Dreadlock Removal Process Now Made Easy with the Take Down® Remover 

The Take Down® Removers is the #1 Best Braid, Weave, Extension and Dreadlock Remover. This is a dry hair detangler which works fast in softening the hair.

The cream prevents any type of breakage during the process of detangling. It offers wonderful results on hair that has not been combed or brushed for a long period. Hair that has become extremely dry and matted can now be softened with the help of this excellent cream. The gentle cream penetrates through the hair and softens each and every strand as and when it is being combed.

Imagine the amount of time and effort it would take to remove the knots and clumps out of that matted and tangled hair. Take Down® Remover is definitely a great relief from pain as well as a feasible solution that offers excellent results.

The cream should be used directly on the matted hair before shampooing. Shampooing the matted hair would lead to more stubborn knots and clumps. It would also create masses of tangled matted hair. All that the users need here is this Detangler Cream, a wide tooth comb, a rat tail comb and of course lots of patience.

Users have to massage and soak the hair with the cream without wetting the hair. The knots, balls or clumps can be picked using the rat tail comb. The strands of hair can be slowly pulled out using the pin tip of the comb. If the hair to too tangled, users may wish to use extra cream – the more the better. This would weaken the matted knots and clumps.

The hair can be shampooed once it is completely detangled. A wide tooth comb can be used to remove all the knots and mats now. The hair can be conditioned with an excellent conditioner at the end.

Even the worst dreadlocks, twists, hair extensions and dread extensions can be detangled easily with the help of this dreadlock remover. Hair restoration is now easy and simple with this excellent product. It is time to say no to painful processes and those time taking sessions to detangle the extremely impossible tangled hair.
