Product Reviews by Experts


What stood out to me most was the beautiful blend of botanical oils and how luxurious the serum felt on my skin. Despite containing so many nourishing ingredients, it absorbed surprisingly well without feeling heavy or greasy. I also appreciated that it is waterless and highly concentrated, so a few drops go a long way. The addition of frankincense was a real highlight for me, and the overall formula felt rich, restorative and thoughtfully crafted. I was particularly impressed by the brand’s genuine commitment to supporting mental health within its local community. Providing meaningful employment opportunities to young women facing mental health challenges is such a practical and impactful way to make a difference. I also admire their transparency around ingredients, small-batch production, and focus on reducing plastic through glass and bamboo packaging. It feels like a brand that is quietly living its values rather than simply talking about them.


Margaret River magic! I was blown away by the dewy glow this gave my skin, and continued to deliver as the day went on. With over 70% linoleic fatty acids to support the skin barrier this felt smooth and dreamy to apply. Layered well with makeup or straight to cleansed skin for a pre-bedtime treat. Wake up and glow! Love the small batch vibes made with love and intention that I believe you can feel in the end product. Love their dedication to giving back by working with those navigating mental health challenges by offering meaningful work within this small business. Their ethos resonates with me on a deeply personal level.


What I loved most about this face serum was how beautifully it left my skin feeling. It absorbed well, gave my skin a healthy glow, and left my skin feeling soft, smooth, and hydrated. The ingredient selection was a real standout and aligned well with the kind of clean, low tox skincare I enjoy using. While the aroma reflected the beautiful botanical ingredients, I personally found the ylang ylang a little too overpowering for my preference. That said, the performance of the serum itself was lovely and left my skin looking healthy and radiant. What impressed me most was how genuine and personal the brand’s commitment to sustainability and social responsibility feels. I really appreciated the focus on small batch production, glass and bamboo packaging, concentrated botanical formulations, and reducing waste wherever possible. It’s clear that every decision has been made with both people and the planet in mind. I was especially moved by the brand’s commitment to supporting young people experiencing mental health challenges and giving back to the local community. Knowing their values are shaped by personal experience makes their mission feel authentic, and it’s inspiring to see a business creating products that care for both people and the environment.
