Our story
From a small spring, a steady flow.
Umthombo means a spring, a fountain a source of renewal and flow.
What began as a creative outlet has grown into a soulful offering of handcrafted products that bring warmth and intention into your space.
We began in 2020in Cape Town, pouring candles by hand and following the scent wherever it led into soaps, balms, scrubs, diffusers and mists. Everything is made in small batches, with ingredients we’d happily use ourselves.
The name Umthombo means a spring or fountain: a source of renewal and flow. It’s the idea behind everything we make small rituals that bring warmth and intention into your space.
Made with love and inspired by nature. We’d love for you to make it your own.
