Meet Stacey-Jane Smith, a creative, innovator, entrepreneur and Founder of African Secret and the founder of Connections Network.
African Secret is a South African natural personal care and wellness products brand based in Cape Town. Our range includes superior plant-powered ingredients used by our ancestors to uplift wellbeing and help relieve common ailments.
Connections network brings together entrepreneurs and inspiring individuals, to connect, collab and share resources.
Stacey-Jane is inspirational.
She strives to be a beacon of South African heritage, blending tradition with innovation (and a splash of art) to create a unique array of products that resonate with both locals and visitors alike.
Her interest in how plants can help repair our bodies and improve our well-being, led her to study Phytomedicine & Natural Products, and partake in Cosmetic Formulation training. She’s done independent R&D on indigenous plants for use in cosmeceuticals, personal care products and skincare. She aims to be a vital link in the bioprospecting and natural products ecosystem.
Her African Secret products are phenomenal and for today (9th August 2024) she has 30% off her online store for Women’s day.
