Cape May is found in our Serum.

Cape May (Coleonema album) is sourced from the coastal and mountainous fynbos regions in the Western and Eastern Cape, South Africa.

During the flowering season the small white petals cover the ground like confetti after a wedding, hence the colloquial name -‘confetti bush’. Cape May can also be used as an insect repellent and a deodoriser.

THE FLORAL KINGDOM
Of the world’s six Floral Kingdoms The Fynbos Kingdom is the smallest, yet contains the most diversity per area unit. The extremely high diversity of fynbos plants is unique to this relatively dry area: over 9,000 species of plants can be found here, and roughly 6,200 of these are not found anywhere else in the world. Although the Fynbos comprises only 6% of Southern Africa’s land, it is home to half the species on the subcontinent, and nearly 20% of all plant species in Africa.
