About Us
Every day we have an opportunity to add to our life’s story.
Let’s make those opportunities count.
Where It All Began
Veronica has a passion for natural healthcare and is the founder of and entrepreneurial flair behind Fabulous Ferments and Be Natural products (which has now become My Essence) which she sells at the Bbos market and from her home. She and her husband Marc live in Franskraal where they moved to many years ago from Milnerton in Cape Town.
Veronica’s journey started when she decided to tackle the symptoms of psoriasis, which was causing her health to be jeopardised quite harshly, with natural remedies and to allow her body to recover naturally, rather than using conventional medication. She began researching different avenues of natural healing, including the importance of regular detoxification; the role of good bacteria in our intricate digestive systems; the “trigger foods” that cause flare ups and therefore the correct diet which would benefit rather than hinder; the important role of exercise; and last but definitely not least, the importance of letting go of things from the past that hinder spiritual growth and physical health, in order to move forward with a positive mindset of health and well-being.
Veronica also turned her attention to other aspects of healthcare, in particular, the harmful effects that chemicals and parabens (harmful preservatives) have on health, and so she decided to experiment with a range of lotions, body washes, face creams, oils, and more. Her product range has proven so successful that she decided it was time to start selling these products online.
Veronica is passionate about helping others. She plans to use her website as a platform where she can help others in whatever way she can. She would like to share little gems that she has found along her life’s journey of healing her own being, both inside and out, whether it be with knowledge she has gained or just a word of encouragement.
With this in mind, she has chosen to call her new website My Essence, with the slogan being, “caring for your whole being, inside and out”.
Enjoy this journey with Veronica and soon to be many friends, as we encourage one another, learn from one another, pray for one another and celebrate our life’s journeys together.
“Within each of us is an essence that is absolutely breathtaking – loaded with the life of God!”
What People are Saying
“I am so thankful that I met Veronica and her fantastic products. I just love all her skincare products. I have her Moisturising Day Cream and the Anti Ageing & Firming Oil. I use the oil as a moisturiser and to remove my make-up. “

“I have been using the face moisturizer from My Essence for about 2 years now and I cannot believe how it has improved my skin. This moisturizer is incredibly healing and works so well for my dry skin. I love it!”
Rose
“The moisturizer from My Essence is perfect for me as I am in the sun everyday as a professional body boarder. I find it so nourishing when the salt water tends to dry my face out. I especially love the ingredients and will continue to use this product.“
