Marico South Africa Overview

About Us

Marico makes a difference

Marico South Africa (Pty) Ltd, a subsidiary of Marico Limited, is a leading FMCG company that develops and markets haircare, healthcare and baby products in South Africa. The company was established in October 2007 after Marico Limited acquired the Consumer Products Division of Enaleni Pharmaceuticals. The rest, they say, is history.

We are proud to bring you some of South Africa’s best-loved brands – from traditional brands that have been trusted for generations, to trend-setting brands that cater to our modern consumer needs.

Our mission is to make a difference and to help you do the same – by bringing you products that you can rely on, to help you look and feel great.
