About Us
Beauty That Begins With Purpose
Earthly by Rito & Co is more than a beauty brand. We are building a movement around natural living, conscious wellness, and sustainable African enterprise.
Founded by Rito Madingana, Earthly was born from a desire to create a premium, African-owned wellness brand that brings together natural beauty, thoughtful living, and long-term sustainability.
Our approach is simple: create products with purpose, make wellness accessible, and build a brand that can grow without losing sight of the people and values at its heart.
From our roots in South Africa, we are building toward a future where African natural beauty is not simply part of the conversation - it leads it.
Our Story
From a Dream of Ownership to a Vision for African Wellness
Earthly by Rito & Co began with a dream: to build something meaningful, independent, and lasting.
Founder Rito Madingana recognised an opportunity to create a wellness brand that challenged conventional ideas about beauty and placed greater emphasis on natural ingredients, conscious consumption, and holistic living.
The journey has not always been easy. Building consumer trust, navigating an evolving wellness market, and creating a sustainable business model have all required resilience and adaptability.
But every challenge strengthened the vision.
Today, Earthly continues to grow as a proudly African brand with ambitions that reach far beyond skincare.
We're not just building products. We're building ownership, opportunity, and a legacy.

Sustainability
Growing With the Earth in Mind
Sustainability is central to our vision.
We are committed to exploring plant-based formulations, responsible production practices, conscious consumption, and long-term investments that create stability for the business and the communities around it.
Our ambition to acquire land is about more than property ownership. It represents our vision for permanence - a place where Earthly can manufacture, educate, innovate, create employment, and develop a lasting wellness ecosystem.
We don't want to simply grow. We want to grow responsibly.
Empowering African Enterprise
Creating Opportunity Through Wellness
Earthly by Rito & Co believes entrepreneurship can be a powerful force for transformation.
As we grow, we aim to create opportunities through employment, skills development, wellness education, partnerships, and participation in the wider African economy.
We are particularly passionate about creating pathways for young people and women to participate in the growing beauty and wellness sector.
Our success will ultimately be measured not only by the products we create, but by the opportunities those products help create.
Our Vision
Our ambition is bold.
We want to build a leading African-owned premium natural beauty and wellness brand recognised for quality, authenticity, sustainability, and innovation.
Our future includes:
- Acquiring land for a permanent Earthly wellness hub
- Expanding production capacity
- Developing new natural beauty and wellness products
- Entering the organic food market
- Creating holistic wellness services and experiences
- Expanding into local and international markets
- Building strategic retail and wellness partnerships
- Creating sustainable employment opportunities
- Establishing a lasting African-owned wellness legacy
The vision is local in its roots, African in its identity, and global in its ambition.
From a South African Brand to a Global African Wellness Name
Why Earthly?
Because Beauty Should Mean More.
The Earthly Difference
We're Building More Than a Beauty Brand.
Many brands focus on what is inside the bottle.
At Earthly, we're thinking about what comes after the sale.
Our ambition is to build a sustainable enterprise supported by responsible growth, land ownership, expanded production, wellness experiences, and community empowerment.
That means creating a brand that can:
Create products → Build trust → Create jobs → Develop communities → Own assets → Expand globally
Our long-term vision is to create a permanent, eco-conscious wellness hub where production, education, wellness, and entrepreneurship can thrive together.
This is beauty with a bigger purpose.
