Our Why

We care for you, your skin & the Planet

The most brilliant chemist we know is that of Mother Nature.

There is simply no human (or robot) on this planet capable of replicating the complexities of the compound combinations found in nature.

We believe Mother Nature deserves not only our respect but also our cooperation, protection & support.

All Natural, Organic, Waterless and Nutrient Dense Skincare hand made in small batches - Oasis Black Organic Botanical Skincare featuring Black Seeds

As opposed to unstable lab/man synthesised imitations of natural compounds, our bodies (and skin) spent millennia evolving to know how to best utilise those produced by Mother Nature.

Unlike most mainstream cosmetics companies, we honour and utilise the superior qualities of naturally formed compounds in simple, stable & effective nutrient dense formulations made from minimally processed, natural & organic ingredients.

We then deliver them to you in earth conscious packaging, and support initiatives & charities aligned with our goals and values.

Premium Natural & Organic

Ingredients

We source the highest quality and organically farmed natural ingredients. These ingredients are then combined in small, hand made batches in our solar powered lab based in the Byron Bay Hinterland.

This ensures our products are as nutrient dense as possible, whilst also avoiding exposure to harmful pesticides, or contributing to the unnecessary waste of resources that results from over-processing and needless handling of ingredients.

MINIMALLY PROCESSED

Processing techniques like solvent extraction, heat extraction, deodorising, bleaching & heavy refining are wasteful and unnecessary processes that contaminate, strip away and destroy the most beneficial components of the natural oils & ingredients... leaving them nutrient poor.

Because of this, we seek only lightly filtered (Virgin) COLD PRESSED Carrier Oils, STEAM DISTILLED Essential Oils, and dried botanical superfood powders. This ensure the full spectrum of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and essential fatty acids that the parent nut/seed/plant offers are available for your skin through our products.

Multi-Purpose

Products

As skinimalists, we wanted to do away with the expensive & time consuming 10+ step routines that encourage you to buy and apply 10+ ineffective, single purpose products.

Instead, we knew that with the right combination of nutrient dense, active ingredients (in their most stable natural form wihout unnecessary/cheap fillers) we could create a few simple multi-purpose products that would not only do all the work for you, but also help you to:

simplify your routine
save time
save money
minimise the waste you create
declutter your bathroom cabinet
travel lighter

After all, to function at optimal health, both Men's & Women's as well as the skin on your hands, arms, belly, legs, feet etc. requires the same love & nutrients as the skin on your face.

All our products are made to water-free formulas, which are not only better for your skin, but also eliminate the need for harmful preservatives & remove the requirement for bulky containers that are unnecessarily expensive to transport.

We choose QUALITY OVER QUANTITY. Our products are full of high quality active ingredients rather than high volumes of cheap nutrient poor, inactive or damaging filler ingredients.

Deliberately, we have also chosen to make our products FREE FROM:

Animal Cruelty
Animal Products (making them Vegan friendly)
Pore Clogging Coconut Oil
Palm Oil
Petroleum derived products like Mineral Oil
Synthetic Ingredients - like parabens, fragrances, preservatives etc
Cheap Filler Ingredients - like water, liquid micro-plastics, emulsifiers, stabilisers, silicones etc

Earth Conscious

Packaging

To protect our Oils we choose to house them in non-leaching, UV-filtering & curb-side recyclable amber glass bottles, fitted with pump caps... LEARN MORE

Our Cleansers are packaged in plastic free & home-compostable cellophane (made from FSC certified renewable wood pulp) then sealed with paper biodegradable labels making them completely ZERO WASTE.

Our Mud Masks are housed in either recyclable/reusable glass jars fitted with natural cork caps, or the same Zero Waste packaging as our cleansers.

Our information flyers and cards are printed on 100% recycled stock, and are 100% recyclable.

And, to protect our products whilst they’re in transit to you, we use sustainably made paper-based ‘bubble wrap’, tissue paper, paper stickers and shipping envelopes made from 100% post consumer recycled wastepaper... All of which can be recycled or composted.

Ultimately, this means our products can not only help give you healthy glowing skin, but they can also help you reduce the amount of waste that you send to landfill (or that could accidentally end up in our waterways or natural environment), helping you to help protect this beautiful plant.

future goals

Though we're truly proud of our packaging efforts to date, and we love that we have shown that it is possible to use earth-conscious packaging for cosmetics and skincare... we're not yet 100% satisfied with all our packaging.

We're working on a plastic free freshness/tamper evident seals for our Oils and Mud Mask jars.

Plus, we're also continuously on the lookout for a plastic free (or more environmentally friendly) Pump cap for our Oil bottles.

We'd also love to be able to gain certifications and recognition for all of our efforts with both our products and packaging. Though certifications don't come cheap and there are a lot we could qualify for. Though with your support and increased sales, we know this will be possible.

Whilst our founder Melaney currently volunteers her own personal time to support her local community, charities and events aligned with our values, we are working hard to improve sales to enable us to financially assist even more value aligned charities & organisations.

So whilst we work hard towards our certification, packaging and charitable goals, we hope you can rest easier knowing we are doing our best to deliver products to you that are good for both you and the planet.
