EKASINOMICS: From Home Remedy to Global Skincare Brand: The Angela Care Story

Loading player...
Guest: Koketso Ramatlho, Founder of Angela Care

What starts as a mother’s desperation often becomes a breakthrough and for Koketso Ramatlho, it sparked a global vision. When her young son battled severe eczema and traditional prescriptions failed, Koketso turned to African botanicals in search of relief. Guided by her daughter Angela’s simple but powerful suggestion “why not try Moringa?” a homemade remedy transformed her son’s skin and ignited the birth of what is now Angela Care.

Today, Angela Care is one of South Africa’s most inspiring wellness brands, rooted in indigenous ingredients like Baobab, Moringa and Turmeric. From kitchen experiments in Centurion to an emerging African exporter with international footprints and growing demand in markets like Saudi Arabia, Somalia, China and soon the UAE, Koketso has built a purpose-driven brand grounded in science, heritage and compassion.
