About FaithBuilt
We never planned on FaithBuilt. But looking back, it was always where we were heading.
John and Arlene met in school — a connection that would quietly shape everything that followed.
Over two decades of marriage, two sons, a small farm, countless lessons learned the hard way, and careers built on real-world experience have formed the foundation of who FaithBuilt is today.
Built on Faith. Backed by Experience
John spent more than 25 years working across multiple industries
From manufacturing and retail to corporate sales and the bulk food ingredients space.
He has managed teams, built national sales portfolios, travelled to meet world-class manufacturers in China, and navigated the kind of setbacks that either break you or build you.
More often than not, they built him.
His career was never a straight line — it was a series of dominoes being placed, one by one, without either of them fully realising a bigger plan was at work.
Arlene brings a completely different and equally vital perspective.
Internationally qualified in health and beauty, she spent years managing salons before building and running her own.
When their oldest son was born, she and John made a deliberate decision together — family first.
That season of stepping back from her career never dimmed her passion for health, wellness, and helping people feel confident and cared for.
If anything, it deepened it.
Together, John and Arlene bring something rare to FaithBuilt — a combination of industry knowledge, sourcing experience, business acumen, and a genuine understanding of what it means to pursue health as a family, not just as a concept.
FaithBuilt isn’t a corporate brand. It’s a family brand — built by two people who have lived the journey of trying to do better, be healthier, and make choices that actually mean something. Every product we carry has been considered through that lens.
Does it fulfill a clear purpose?
Will the person using it genuinely benefit?
Would we use it ourselves?
If the answer isn’t yes to all three, it doesn’t make the cut.
We are based in the Eastern Cape, South Africa, and we are passionate about bringing world-class, scientifically backed health and wellness products to people who deserve better than guesswork.
Welcome to FaithBuilt. We’re glad you’re here.
