HUMBLE BEGINNINGS, FOUNDED ON SOLID GROUND
The company grew from very humble beginnings, when founder Elma McKenzie launched the Placecol brand over 40 years ago in 1980! Her extensive research at that time resulted in the formulation of a range of products using African ingredients, which she determined were extremely beneficial to the skin, especially Manketti Nut oil.
Over the years, the range continued to develop, incorporating various additional innovative active ingredients to transform the skin, but Elma’s legacy and South African heritage provided the firm foundation from which the company was able to grow from strength to strength.
From the humble beginnings of just one salon and 3 products, i-BLOOM today consists of many professional franchised and independent beauty salons nationally and 3 beautiful, award-winning and innovative skin care brands, all proudly manufactured in South Africa.
