Skin Renewal CSI

'May we be reminded of the blessings our lives are filled with, understanding that the very things we take for granted, someone, somewhere is praying for'. The Merchants of Light

At Skin Renewal, our commitment to Corporate Social Investment (CSI) is woven into the very fabric of our ethos. For over 20 years, we have embraced the responsibility of giving back to the communities we serve, partnering with multiple charities that align with our values. We believe that true beauty extends beyond aesthetics; it encompasses compassion, support, and a commitment to uplift those in need.

Over the years, we have supported a multitude of charities working with animals, children and those without homes. We have worked with organisations that assist persons living with AIDS and cancer, as well as victims of rape and crime, and we have been involved in sustainable and environmental efforts.

More recently, we have shone the light on women and worked with organisations that empower and educate women in underserved communities. One notable project is our support of ILoveBoobies, which raises awareness about breast cancer and provides critical screenings for women in underserved areas. We also support Komani, which provides reusable sanitary pads to women, ensuring that women not only feel empowered but also confident and supported. Both organisations not only empower but also educate women, which we believe truly aligns with the essence of Skin Renewal, as knowledge is the foundation for making meaningful and sustainable change.

We feel blessed to have a voice in the digital space and to be able to educate our patients and followers on pertinent issues, while also supporting charities in highlighting their work. Each Skin Renewal branch is also a space where we can assist our chosen charities in collecting much-needed items and provide a platform for patients who wish to dedicate more time to each project.

In addition to the work we do for women, we collaborate closely with the Merchants of Light to bring about change. Addressing daily humanitarian challenges. And pouring light into the darkest corners of forgotten communities.

Join us in our mission to make a difference. Together, we can create a ripple effect of kindness and support that extends far beyond our branches. Let’s work together to build a brighter future for everyone.

ILoveBoobies

Skin Renewal proudly supports ILoveBoobies by raising awareness about the charity’s mission and selling ILoveBoobies socks at all Skin Renewal branches. In addition to ongoing in-store support, Skin Renewal is actively involved in South Africa’s biggest virtual sports event each August, amplifying breast cancer awareness across the country.

Komani

Every young woman deserves the confidence to pursue her dreams without the interruption of unmet basic needs. Yet for too many girls in South Africa, the monthly barrier of period poverty forces them to miss school, shy away from community life, and lose a sense of dignity. By championing sustainable menstrual health solutions and education, Skin Renewal proudly partners with Komani, a trailblazing social enterprise dedicated to breaking this cycle. Through affordable, reusable pads and vital health training, we are not only keeping girls in the classroom but also igniting hope, reducing environmental waste, and fostering economic opportunity. Read on to discover how our collaboration is transforming lives through sustainable menstrual health.

Khulisa Social Solutions

For many years, Skin Renewal has supported Khulisa through the Kliptown community outreach program by collaborating on holistic development initiatives that empower vulnerable youth and families, helping build resilient skills and sustainable futures within marginalised communities. The Skin Renewal team has assisted in setting up a vegetable garden that feeds over 15 families, in addition to facilitating the first second-hand clothing shop and the very first community library.

Over and above this, Skin Renewal CEO Victor Snyders is a passionate soccer (football) fan and supports the Kliptown community soccer team with their needs from kit to tournament entry fees. 

Khulisa's Streetscapes Project

Skin Renewal works closely with Streetscapes, a Cape Town-based non-profit dedicated to ending homelessness by providing meaningful job opportunities and holistic support to individuals living on the streets. Through initiatives like inner-city urban gardens, Streetscapes empowers the homeless by offering work, psychosocial support, and pathways to stable housing. Skin Renewal actively supports these programs, helping transform lives and foster dignity and independence among vulnerable communities in the city.
