Why We Only Stock South African Products
Kloom was founded on a simple belief: South Africa's extraordinary botanical heritage deserves to be celebrated, preserved, and shared with our own people first.
We carefully curate products that are formulated and manufactured right here in South Africa by local producers. We've made a deliberate choice not to stock imported products or source from overseas suppliers. This isn't just a business decision. It's a commitment to our country, our communities, and our planet.
"When you shop with Kloom, you're not just buying quality skincare. You're investing in South African jobs, South African innovation, and a more sustainable future for all of us."
Supporting Our Local Economy
Every Rand you spend with Kloom stays in South Africa, creating a ripple effect of economic benefit throughout our communities.
South African Jobs
The products we stock are made in local manufacturing facilities that employ South African workers. From lab technicians to packaging teams, every person involved is earning a fair, living wage right here at home.
Local Suppliers
The brands we partner with source their botanical ingredients from South African farmers and suppliers. Marula oil from Limpopo, Rooibos from the Cederberg, Kalahari melon from the Northern Cape. All locally sourced.
Economic Multiplier
Studies show that money spent with local businesses recirculates in the community up to 3x more than money spent with international corporations. Your purchase genuinely makes a difference.
Community Investment
Many of the brands we stock invest a portion of their sales back into the communities where their ingredients are harvested, supporting education, healthcare, and sustainable farming initiatives.
Our Carbon-Conscious Commitment
Here's a truth the global beauty industry doesn't want you to think about: that imported moisturiser on your bathroom shelf has probably travelled further than you have this year.
Why We Only Deliver Within South Africa
Shorter delivery routes compared to imported products
International air freight or ocean shipping
Local courier partners supporting SA businesses
We made a conscious decision to limit our delivery to South Africa. Yes, we've had requests to ship internationally. Yes, it would be more profitable. But we believe that true sustainability means making hard choices.
By keeping our entire supply chain within South Africa, from locally manufactured products to final delivery, we minimise our carbon footprint at every stage. No products sitting in shipping containers for weeks. No air freight burning jet fuel across continents. Just straightforward, low-impact delivery from local producers to your door.
Why We Don't Stock Imported Products
You won't find any internationally manufactured products in our range. This is a deliberate choice that reflects our core values.
Environmental Integrity
Stocking imported products would undermine everything we stand for. The carbon cost of shipping skincare from Europe, Asia, or America simply cannot be justified when world-class products are manufactured right here.
Economic Principle
Every imported product is a missed opportunity to support South African jobs and businesses. We'd rather champion local producers than send our Rands overseas.
Quality Confidence
By partnering exclusively with local manufacturers, we can visit their facilities, verify their processes, and know exactly what goes into each product. We stand behind every item we stock.
Botanical Authenticity
The products we stock feature genuine African botanicals sourced from their native environments. Why would we sell synthetic versions of ingredients that grow abundantly in our own backyard?
