Umhlanga’s Oyster Box Spa has just notched up three firsts: it has been named “Country Winner: Best Luxury Wellness Spa” in the World Luxury Spa Awards, “Country Winner: Luxury Hotel” in the World Luxury Hotel Awards (WLHA) .
It has just launched a unique range of body care products and professional spa treatments that combines indigenous African plant extracts with the health properties of the sea.
Named B Africa, after Bea Tollman, founder and president of the Red Carnation hotel group which owns the Oyster Box, the spa products are being used in Red Carnation properties around the country. Active ingredients include baobab tree oil, marula oil, avocado butter, honey, rooibos, Mongongo nut, Ximenia kernel oil and West Coast Atlantic sea salts.
The range uses sustainable harvesting practices, renewable indigenous species, no synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, and is not tested on animals.
All the natural product suppliers support organic certification, sustainability and Fair Trade.
B Africa treatment packages, like B Together, claim to ease emotional imbalance, B Purified uses the healing properties of water in a salt scrub, steam session and body massage, and B Harmonised targets stressed areas of the body.
