Yael and Yoni live in Kibbutz Shamir, located in northern Israel. Their passion for natural products began during a life-changing journey to Australia, where they discovered the power of living in harmony with nature. It was there that they first opened a stand selling natural skincare products. Inspired by this experience, they returned to Israel with a renewed dedication to crafting natural goods. This led to the creation of Herbal Magic, a brand focused on hand-making soaps using only the purest natural ingredients. Their goal was simple: to create soaps that cleanse, soften, and nourish the skin. Today, Herbal Magic continues to embody their commitment to natural beauty and wellness.
