About
In the desolate winter of 1693, Pieter “Den Deen” Erasmus took a brave journey from the Netherlands to settle in the Cape. On 28 February 1699, Governor Willem Adriaan van der Stel would grant Erasmus the farm De Groenenbergh in Wagenmakersvallei, part of the sub-district of Drakenstein – better known today as Paarl. He married Maria Elizabeth Joosten who then joined him and subsequently gave birth to their son, Rasmus – the first of nine children. Until his death in 1731, Erasmus paved the way for what today thrives as green-stretching vineyards. As the progenitor of the Erasmus family of South Africa, his legacy continues to thrive in his descendants who are still crafting wine in this region to this very day.

Oil take care of this
The people of Morocco call the Argan Tree, 'The Tree of Life' because it makes everything from goat feed, to excellent charcoal and even oil. That oil is as useful in a fragrant serving of couscous as it is on your skin. Swiss Army knives get a lot of good PR for having many uses, but you'd never put one of them in a lovely summer salad, would you?
That's not all, either. It turns out that it's fantastic for your hair. We think if you'd told one of the nomadic tribesmen of the Moroccan desert plains 200 years ago that this humble fruit would be the key ingredient that would leave millions of people around the world with salon-quality hair at affordable prices, they'd probably say 'Imken' - which means 'Maybe' in Tamazight.
Anyway, our main deal today is GoCare Argan Oil shampoo & conditioner, which will leave your hair looking like a million bucks. Which is a pretty impressive return considering it only costs R299.
