Portia M partners with GLAMOUR for Mother’s Day Celebration Event

We’re thrilled to announce Portia M, a proudly South African brand rooted in the very spirit of motherhood, to our line-up of exceptional partners in our upcoming Celebration of Mothers Event, taking place at the enchanting Forest Hall, The Garden Venue in Johannesburg on 31 May 2025.

Portia M was born from a deeply personal experience; a mother discovering a solution for herself, and ultimately, for others. This partnership with GLAMOUR is a natural fit and grounded in shared values of empowerment, authenticity, and the celebration of women at every stage of life.

We chatted with Portia M to talk about all things motherhood, empowerment, and why this collaboration with GLAMOUR means so much to them.

What does the celebration of motherhood mean to your brand, and why did you choose to partner with GLAMOUR for this special event?

Motherhood is our core as a brand, as it is what birthed the Portia M brand. I discovered our first product, Marula Skin Oil, after giving birth to my first child. The oil became a solution to a problem I had with stretch marks, and today it is our best-selling product. After giving birth to my second born child, I had the courage to resign and be full-time in building the Portia M brand while also formulating our Pomegranate Range. With my last-born child, the Portia M Baby range was born. The partnership with Glamour magazine is fundamental to the brands identity, our association with such a remarkable magazine which believes in women empowerment, speaks to our core values and mission as a brand.

How does your brand support mothers or caregivers, whether through your products, services, or brand mission?

Our products are especially formulated to target skin care issues mostly experienced by mothers or caregivers. Through our products we have seen mothers experience solutions for their skin which had affected them for years. As a brand we pride ourselves in being the most interactive brand to our customers which speaks to our customer service. We value their input towards the innovation of solutions for their skin and hair. Through our Portia M Foundation, we are able to empower female entrepreneurs through mentorship and grants, this we believe speaks to our brand’s mission of women empowerment.

What message of celebration would you like to share with the women attending this event?

As a mother or caregiver, you are “home” to those you are mothering, make sure to make yourself a peaceful dwelling place for your children, take care of your mental and spiritual health and fill your cup. Celebrate yourself for the mere fact that you exist, your presence in the lives of those you impact on a daily basis can never be replaced.

Join us for a beautiful Mother’s Day celebration, 31 May at The Forest Hall, Johannesburg. Don't miss this unforgettable celebration!
