About Matcha Glow

Hi, I’m Geneke van Niekerk — the founder, formulator, and heart behind Matcha Glow.

My journey into matcha-powered skincare wasn’t planned — it began with frustration. Years of dull, stressed skin left me searching for a solution. I tried it all: high-end serums, trending ingredients, dermatologist-recommended treatments — yet nothing delivered lasting results.

Then I discovered ceremonial-grade matcha — a centuries-old green tea treasured for its detoxifying, renewing, and antioxidant-rich properties. When I incorporated it into my skincare routine, the change was undeniable. My skin glowed, texture improved, and inflammation calmed. It felt like I had unlocked a secret — one too good to keep to myself.

And so, Matcha Glow was born.

Every product we craft is a careful blend of ancient Japanese matcha traditions and modern, clean skincare science. Each formulation uses 100% pure, organic matcha powder paired with thoughtfully chosen botanicals to restore balance, radiance, and calm to your skin.

We’re proud to be South Africa’s first matcha-based skincare brand, created with love, intention, and a belief that true beauty begins with balance — inside and out.

Pure. Plant-based. Purposeful.
Glow naturally. Glow intentionally. Glow the matcha way.
