In an industry often dazzled by foreign formulas and imported prestige, one South African skincare house asked a defining question: why not us? The result was a luxurious, science-backed skincare range that has not only held its own in the global space but has set a new benchmark for what South African beauty brands can achieve.

Rooted in the heart of Stellenbosch’s wine country, TheraVine emerged with a focused vision: to create high-performance skincare that blends scientific innovation with the natural potency of local ingredients. The brand’s inspiration stemmed from the antioxidant-rich properties of grape derivatives—specifically those found in Pinotage grapes. Recognizing the potential in these by-products, the development process became a meticulous collaboration of science and sustainability.
Freeze-dried wine extracts—fluffy, candyfloss-like powders created by removing alcohol—form the foundation of many TheraVine products. The biggest challenge in working with these powerful grape-derived ingredients was stabilizing them and preventing oxidation. Through rigorous research and development, those challenges were met with groundbreaking success.
Launched in 2004, TheraVine introduced a full line of skin and body care products that are now synonymous with visible results and sensory delight. What began as a niche offering has evolved into one of South Africa’s most respected cosmeceutical brands, now found in luxury spas, boutique wellness destinations, and select retailers both locally and internationally.
With a product catalog that spans more than 250 items, TheraVine’s skincare solutions cater to a wide range of needs—anti-aging, hydration, rejuvenation, and relaxation—without compromising on quality or purity. Every formulation reflects a clear standard: clinically effective yet luxurious to use. The brand’s approach balances high-strength active ingredients with the kind of sensorial experience expected from premium skincare.
TheraVine is also deeply embedded in professional environments. Spa partners value not only the efficacy of the products but also the training and protocol systems that accompany them. Each treatment is rooted in both science and experience, offering a unique fusion of therapeutic function and indulgent ritual.
What continues to set TheraVine apart is its commitment to combining nature’s most powerful antioxidants with the latest advancements in global cosmetic technology. This fusion creates products that are not just trend-driven but timeless—designed to work, feel good, and endure.
