About The Firefly

Welcome to The Firefly, where we're dedicated to creating natural, handcrafted skincare products that embrace the beauty of simplicity. We believe that taking care of your skin should be a joyful and wholesome experience. Our journey into the world of crafting natural soaps, lotion bars, lip balms, bath salts, shower steamers, and more began with a simple dream - the dream of living independently and sustainably.

Meet the Team

We are Werner and Riëtte de Beer, high school sweethearts who have been on a remarkable journey together for the past 20 years. Our journey as a couple has been filled with laughter, love, and the joy of raising two incredible children. It's these shared experiences and values that have led us to where we are today.

Our Vision

At The Firefly, we believe in the power of self-reliance and sustainability. Our dream is to live a life that is harmonious with nature, where we can reduce our ecological footprint and make choices that not only benefit our family but the planet we call home. Our ultimate goal is not just to live independently but to inspire others to do the same. We're passionate about showing that little by little, every day, we can take steps towards living our dreams and making a positive impact on our world.

Our Inspiration

Riëtte, co-founder of The Firefly, faces the daily challenge of chronic pain, which has taught her that some aspects of life are beyond our control. However, she firmly believes that we can take control of what we put on our skin. After all, the skin is the body's largest organ, and it deserves the very best care.

Join Our Journey

We invite you to embark on this journey with us. At The Firefly, we create products that are not only gentle on your skin but also kind to the environment. Each item is crafted with love, care, and a commitment to using the purest, most natural ingredients. We are excited to share our creations with you, and we hope you'll find joy in using them as much as we do in making them.

Together, we'll take small, deliberate steps towards living our dream, nurturing our planet, and embracing a more sustainable, self-reliant lifestyle. Thank you for being a part of our journey, and we look forward to supporting you on yours.

Warmly,

Werner and Riëtte de Beer Co-founders, The Firefly
