Philosophy

Our logo says it all!

Looking for Australian made, plant derived skincare, handmade in small batches that contains organic essential oils AND active ingredients?  You’ve come to the right place.

Australian

Australian owned, Australian made and we support Australian suppliers and distributors where possible.

Plant Derived

Our products are natural and plant derived, this includes the preservatives we use.

We carefully select all ingredients and favour functional ingredients that also provide benefit to your skin (e.g. our emulsifiers).

There is no animal testing of our products.

No animal derived products (including beeswax) are included.

Artisan

Our products are all researched, formulated and handmade in small batches by Tracy, the founder who has a Masters in Biochemistry, and is a member of The Australian Society of Cosmetic Chemists (ASCC).

Organic Essential Oils

We use organic essential oils.

Actives

We use natural wherever possible, but as skincare performance and ingredient stability is a priority for us, we also incorporate stable, nature identical and synthetic actives in some products.

We only use actives that are either found in the body, or are converted to forms found in or used by the body, so we know they have a role to play!

For example, sodium hyaluroanate, coenzyme Q10, retinyl palmitate (vitamin A), ascorbyl tetraisopalmitate (vitamin C), niacinamide (vitamin B3), panthenol (pro-vitamin B5).

Packaging

Our packaging philosophy is simple, minimalist and as recyclable as possible.

We use amber glass for product longevity, reusable calico bags and minimal box use.  Plastic foaming bottles are used for some surfactant products for kitchen and bathroom use.
