Rain Africa is a South African bath and body company that creates beautifully crafted handmade products using natural ingredients and local inspiration.

Some inspiration from their website :

“In Africa, rain gives life and life depends on it. The cycle of the season is born into all living things, young and old. Rain is the gift that brings simple wealth to the plains, villages and mountains. Rain is refreshing in the still heat of the day; it cools the thirsty land, awakens the senses and sharpens the aromas of the bush. The dry wind brings the gift that African people can smell, a gift that is a cause for celebration. The Sotho people use the words ‘Khotso Pula Nala’ meaning peace, rain and abundance as their traditional greeting.”

 

(these are real khoi fish soaps with a saffron tangerine fragrance)
