Introducing Lelive Skincare

Lelive, a clean, conscious, and community-driven skincare brand, has recently launched in the UK, introducing its high-performance formulations designed for all skin types, tones, and textures.

Founded in 2021 by South African actress, model, and entrepreneur Amanda Du-Pont, Lelive (pronounced leh-lee-veh) takes its name from her Swazi name, Langalelive, meaning ‘light of the world’. Du-Pont’s vision was to create results-driven skincare inspired by Africa’s natural beauty, blending the continent’s most powerful botanicals with scientific actives.

Lelive’s formulas feature antioxidant-rich superfoods and potent plant actives designed to supercharge skincare. Over 95% naturally derived, they include ingredients such as green rooibos, shea butter, marula, moringa, aloe, bakuchiol, and fruit-derived exfoliating acids. These are combined with dermatologist-approved, scientifically backed ingredients such as niacinamide, salicylic acid, vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, and peptides to maximise efficacy.

Each Lelive product is designed for simplicity and efficiency, addressing multiple skincare concerns in a single effective solution. Avoiding complex routines and confusing beauty buzzwords, Lelive creates products that work seamlessly together, delivering maximum results with minimal effort. The result is a streamlined approach to skincare that never compromises on results.

From its inception, Lelive has been a community-driven brand, shaped by direct input from focus groups and customers to ensure every detail—from packaging to performance—resonates with and benefits real users. As a Greenpeace ambassador, Du-Pont’s commitment to sustainability is also a core focus for the brand. Locally sourced and made in South Africa, all Lelive products are reef-safe, cruelty-free, and vegan, formulated without sulphates, parabens, formaldehydes, silicones, or other ingredients the brand deems harmful. Committed to reducing environmental impact, Lelive prioritises eco-conscious packaging, using glass and aluminium to cut plastic waste while actively working to remove plastic from the environment and support local communities.

Lelive’s bestsellers include All The Shade SPF 30 Sheer-Tinted Moisturiser, The Drip Setting Mist, and All Glow’d Up Serum.

All The Shade SPF 30 Sheer-Tinted Moisturiser is a lightweight formula that provides daily sun protection without leaving a white cast. Infused with mineral zinc, vitamin E, and nourishing marula, argan, and moringa oils, it nourishes and protects, while hyaluronic acid and panthenol plump and replenish the skin.

The multitasking Drip Setting Mist functions as both a mist and a toner, delivering a radiant glow with each spritz. Deep-sea biotics energise, niacinamide and African malachite brighten, and cucumber and ginkgo extract tone. Ideal for setting makeup, this lightweight mist also provides antioxidant protection and long-lasting hydration throughout the day.

All Glow’d Up Serum is formulated for a healthy, all-over glow, featuring vitamin C, turmeric, and liquorice extract to brighten and even out skin tone, while bakuchiol and niacinamide clarify and prevent breakouts. Hyaluronic acid, panthenol, and aloe deeply hydrate and soothe, leaving skin refreshed and balanced.

Lelive products are now available online at lelive.uk, with prices ranging from £25 to £34. A US launch has yet to be announced.
