For 55 years, Annique Rooibos has remained a proudly South African pioneer in the beauty and wellness industry, transforming the power of rooibos into trusted skincare and health solutions. Founded in 1971 by Dr. Annique Theron, the brand was born from her remarkable discovery of rooibos’ soothing and anti-allergic properties while caring for her baby daughter. What started as a mother’s search for relief evolved into a globally recognised skincare and wellness brand built on innovation, science and natural beauty.
Over the decades, Annique Rooibos has become synonymous with antioxidant-rich skincare designed to nourish, protect and support healthy, youthful-looking skin. The company was the first in the world to harness rooibos in beauty and health products, helping to showcase one of South Africa’s most treasured indigenous plants to the world.
As Annique celebrates this incredible 55-year milestone, the brand continues to honour its legacy of empowering women, promoting wellness and creating innovative rooibos-based products that generations of families have grown to trust. Rooted in heritage yet driven by innovation, Annique Rooibos remains committed to helping people look and feel their best naturally.Top of Form

For women looking to maintain radiant, youthful-looking skin, Annique Rooibos has become a trusted name in natural anti-ageing skincare. Rooted in the power of South Africa’s indigenous rooibos plant, Annique has spent decades developing skincare products that combine nature and science to support mature skin through every stage of ageing.
Rooibos is naturally rich in antioxidants, which play a major role in protecting the skin against free radicals. Free radicals are unstable molecules caused by pollution, stress, UV exposure and environmental toxins that accelerate skin ageing by damaging collagen and elastin. When collagen breaks down, the skin begins to lose firmness, elasticity and moisture, leading to wrinkles, fine lines and sagging. According to Annique, the antioxidants found in rooibos help neutralise these free radicals, slowing the visible signs of ageing while supporting healthier skin cells.
One of the reasons mature skin responds so well to rooibos-based skincare is its gentle yet effective nature. Unlike some harsh anti-ageing ingredients that can irritate or dry the skin, rooibos is naturally soothing and hypoallergenic. This makes it ideal for mature skin, which often becomes thinner, drier and more sensitive with age. Rooibos also contains flavonoids and minerals that help calm inflammation and improve overall skin health.
Among Annique’s most popular products for mature skin is the Forever Young Revitalising Cream. This flagship anti-ageing cream is designed to restore moisture, improve elasticity and encourage faster cell renewal. The formula combines rooibos extract with advanced ingredients such as VNA10+, Vitamin E and D-Panthenol to nourish and visibly rejuvenate ageing skin. Independent user trials reported improvements in skin texture, hydration and firmness after regular use. Many users also noticed plumper, more youthful-looking skin over time.
Another standout product is the Q10 Therapy cream, which targets loss of firmness and tired-looking skin. Co-enzyme Q10 is known for energising skin cells and supporting collagen production, while green rooibos provides even higher antioxidant protection than traditional fermented rooibos. This combination helps mature skin appear firmer, smoother and more revitalised.
Hydration is another key factor in anti-ageing skincare, and Annique addresses this with products like the Rooibos Skin Moisturiser. Mature skin often struggles to retain moisture, causing dullness and deeper-looking wrinkles. The moisturiser uses rooibos and green rooibos extracts to defend against environmental stress while maintaining hydration and strengthening the skin barrier. Lightweight yet nourishing, it helps the skin feel softer, calmer and more radiant.
What makes Annique unique is its long-standing commitment to rooibos innovation. The company was the first in the world to introduce rooibos into health and beauty products, earning international recognition for its pioneering work. Today, the brand continues to build its skincare philosophy around the healing and protective qualities of this indigenous South African plant.
Skincare experts and beauty communities also agree that anti-ageing products work best when used consistently and preventatively. Mature skin benefits from routines focused on hydration, antioxidant protection and collagen support — all areas where rooibos-based skincare excels.
Ultimately, Annique Rooibos products offer more than just cosmetic benefits. They provide a holistic skincare approach that nourishes, protects and supports ageing skin naturally. For women embracing mature skin, rooibos-infused skincare delivers gentle care, deep hydration and antioxidant protection that help the skin maintain a healthy, youthful glow. By combining nature’s healing properties with scientifically developed formulations, Annique continues to help women age beautifully and confidently.
