About Annique

This Is How The Annique Story Began

Annique’s Rooibos story started in 1968 Dr Annique Theron stumbled across the natural healing powers of the South African herb, Rooibos, when she warmed Lorinda, her allergic baby’s bottle with warm Rooibos tea. For the first time since birth, Lorinda slept through the night and her allergic reactions to even mother’s milk calmed down.

The Founding Mother of Rooibos: Dr Annique Theron

Dr Theron considered that the Rooibos tea she had given her daughter could be the only factor to have caused this change and so she began to investigate her theory. Despite facing many challenges as a woman trying to prove her findings, she set out with a vision to create life-changing opportunities for all.

In 1971 Annekie Theron Ondernemings (Pty) Ltd was established. Dr Annique’s desire to help others is evident from her first product – the Annique Wonder Slim or as it is now known, the Annique Rooibos Lifestyle Shake formula. In 1973, Dr Annique launched her first three skincare products, with the star product being the Annique Revitalising Cream, which is still a bestseller to this day.
