The business of beauty and self-care

Connie Ferguson’s influence extends far beyond television screens; she is a recognised authority in the South African beauty and personal care sector.

In 2013, she partnered with marketing executive Groovin Nchabeleng to launch Koni Multinational Brands. The company's flagship Connie Brands line was developed specifically for African consumers, focusing on body lotions, facial products, and nutritional supplements formulated to combat the harsh local climate.

As a former brand ambassador for Garnier, the first South African celebrity to ever hold that title, Ferguson deeply understands the mechanics of beauty messaging.

When she speaks of recalibrating, it seamlessly resonates with her brand’s core message: self-care is a daily necessity, not an occasional luxury. A new hairstyle serves as a physical manifestation of this internal care.
