My entire life, I have been playing around with skincare and make up.
As a little girl I would pop myself up on the bathroom bench and watch my mum apply her skincare and make up, blow dry her beautiful Farah Fawcett locks. Seriously she was a glamour-puss, and at 72, still is!
Early in my career, I qualified in beauty therapy and makeup artistry while studying and working in business and accounting.
Two polar opposites, right? Honestly, it was difficult to settle 100% on either one and I blame this battle between my artistic spirit always wanting to create and my nerdy brain that's chanting ‘come on, accounting can be fun too - you know!'
It wasn’t until I started making skincare for myself at home, I felt that butterfly feeling bubble up from the bottom of my stomach. It whispered ‘hey look what we have here – a magical blend of artistry mixed in with of all things chemistry.'
So, out came the textbooks and beakers and I began my journey studying Cosmetic Science. You may be forgiven for thinking formulating is all about the nerdy ‘sciencesy’ stuff but seriously you’ve got to be creative, prepared to innovate, willing to push boundaries (seriously I’m good at this one, just ask the hubby) and ready for the unexpected – the good, the bad and the MOFO moments.
So, how do those two brains…. blend?
Fast forward a few years later I proudly qualified as a Cosmetic Formulator while still working part-time in accounts, being a mum to two pretty amazing kids, a not-so Stepford wife, and a farm hand on our beautiful property in a small town called Beverley, in WA’s Wheatbelt.
Best of both worlds right? Absolutely, I say ❤
I’ve built my brand with an immense passion to being 100% Australian owned and made.
Using ingredients directly from farmers and sourcing international ingredients from Australian importers keeps my brand right where I want it to be, home grown. It’s like I’ve created this little Aussie eco system that’s unique, and that’s one of the reasons my customers love Wild Fusion Skincare.
It’s been such a pleasure to align the brand with suppliers who have the same ethos – sustainability, cultural awareness, and charitable endeavours. We may be small but every month we donate to WomenCan, an organization that fundraises for ANZGOG research on gynaecological cancers and improving the lives of diagnosed women in Australia.
Thank you, beautiful human.
It’s no easy feat to be found in this massive pond of ‘natural skincare’ brands, so kudos to you, beautiful human - I’m totally honoured you’ve found us! I appreciate it can feel confusing and how quickly misguided you can become when trying to find a brand that you’re willing to give a go, so if you’re ready to invest in Wild Fusion Skincare, let me pay that back to you tenfold.
