About Thulisa Naturals

Woman-owned self-car business creating small batch plant-based bath and body products

Hi, I’m Anusha

From a small town on the east coast of South Africa, I grew up surrounded by majestic mountains and lush landscapes. I became so aware of the power of nature to evoke a sense of peace and calm in our bodies and minds and learned to find comfort and resilience in the way nature speaks to us through our sight, touch, smell and taste.

Far removed from my native landscape, I wanted to bring those feelings to you, through Thulisa Naturals.

Our mantra

Natural ingredients, everyday rituals

All our products have been meticulously crafted with natural ingredients to nourish your skin, to support you in creating your own meaningful rituals, and to prioritize your physical and mental wellbeing.

Rituals you can easily incorporate into your everyday life and routines. A ritual where you can care for yourself as much as you do those around you, and move forward feeling calm, replenished, and able to carry that sense of balance and restoration in everything else you do, too.

my story

After I became a mom, I struggled with postpartum depression, exhaustion and anxiety. I knew I needed to create a safe space for myself, to replenish myself, experience peace and enjoy a few moments alone.

My daily bath or shower was the only time I got to do that, and it quickly became my time of sanctuary, where I could retreat into my bathroom to physically and emotionally prepare myself for the next day.

While I savored this time as if it were a delicious glass of wine, I knew I wanted to find a way to elevate it even more. To create more peace and relaxation without extending the clock on my self-care practice.

I started digging in to essential oils, and that’s where this all really started. I became obsessed with their individual properties and the impact they had within a formulation. I started making a few of my own products and quickly realized they helped improve the look and feel of my skin and helped me feel more grounded and uplifted.

And I had a feeling you needed that too. So I founded Thulisa Naturals in 2017, to share not just the amazing, all-natural and safe products, but to support you in establishing your very own replenishing rituals that you can infuse into your every day routine.
