Angelica Wessel, founder of Kudu Cosmetica

Hello, I'm Angelica,

I started Kudu Cosmetica with a modest range and big dreams. At the beginning I had no idea how absorbing the journey of building a small brand would be.

It has been both exciting and deeply rewarding, and I’m incredibly grateful for the engagement and support from our wonderful team and loyal customers.

The Story of Kudu

If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.

I truly believe that. Through the ups and downs, having good people around me has made all the difference. I’m proud of what we have achieved so far and excited about the next chapter in our evolution.

I’m originally from Stockholm and have spent many years travelling and living between Europe and Africa. One of the places closest to my heart is the beautiful island of Ilha de Moçambique off the east coast of Africa.

In Sweden, some of my happiest times were spent on the remote yet vibrant island of Gotland.

Eventually I planted my feet in the Western Cape of South Africa. I loved the energy of Cape Town before moving to the countryside to raise my three wonderful boys.

Life here has given me a slower rhythm and constant inspiration in the warmth and spirit of the people around me.

Long walks by the ocean and yoga each morning bring calmness and focus. More importantly, happiness and joy in doing what I love, creating skincare!

Now we are enerting a new chapter. A refined range. A new expression of the brand. I’m incredibly excited for what lies ahead.

Thank you for being part of this journey.
