CELSUS Bio-Intelligence started in Boulder, Colorado with a friendship, a vision to benefit others, and a shared passion for business with integrity.
In the words of Co-founders Pieter Oosthuizen and Joshua Onysko (also founder of Pangea Organics): "We seeded our vision for a line of highly efficacious 'medi-organic' skin remedies on a 5,000-mile motorcycle ride across the Western United States. By the time we got back to Colorado, we were committed..."
Since leaving his native South Africa years before, Pieter had been contemplating ways in which he could ‘give back’ to the country that gave him so much. The question was how?
During their nights around the campfire, Pieter and Joshua drew on their shared expertise to create the plan for a sustainable venture that would fulfill their deep commitment to benefiting others and the environment.
By utilizing the powerfully regenerative botanicals and anti-oxidant rich oils of southern Africa, among others, CELSUS now promotes sustainable cultivation and harvesting and works to stimulate grass-roots economic development. And in the process, we create remedies that work exceptionally hard for you while being genuinely good for your skin.
