Letters from our
Happy customers
"Kaja really listened and understood me as a client. She took the time and effort to look at me through a holistic lens and unpacked what I need for my skin. Once my products arrived my skin has never felt so happy and calm."
Emma - Consultation
“I have been researching Australian skincare brands for years trying to find something that uses natural herbal ingredients, comes in glass packaging, isn't loaded with essential oils and is actually transparent about where their ingredients are sourced. I was beginning to think it was impossible until I stumbled upon your brand! I'm thrilled to support a small business that shares my values. Thank you so much for what you do.”
Alana - Calendula & Lemon Balm Face Oil
"I have very reactive skin with rosacea and a history of eczema as well as acne. Even straight jojoba oil sets off huge flares for me. Kaja made such a beautiful custom blend of oil cleanser, it feels just so lovely on my skin and is great for cleansing as well as removing makeup without upsetting my sensitive skin."
Sarina - Calendula & St John's Wort Cleansing Oil
"Fantastic ultra light cream - my first time of using! The cream has such a different feel to mass produced face creams which all feel thick and cloying in comparison. It is extremely light to apply and feels to be absorbed immediately but without any requirement to apply more. I am 70 and my skin looks brighter and feels more hydrated with this cream. I love the gentle natural perfume - all round a massive winner!"
Eleanor - Yarrow, Calendula & Hibiscus Face Cream
"So much more than an exfoliator – [The Skin Treat] is a cleanser, mask and a true experience in a little pot. From the beautiful packaging to the stunning natural ingredients inside, this is a well thought out brand. A beauty ritual and sensory experience, my skin is visibly smoother after use. Love the brand’s small batch ethos and visible love and commitment in each product."
Amy - Wattle Seeds & Marshmallow Skin Treat

EXTRACTS
We hand-craft all of our extracts following the traditional ways of Western herbalism. Their rich palette of colours is an important sign that they are loaded with medicinal constituents such as polyphenols, carotenoids, polysaccharides, vitamins and minerals that our skin needs to thrive. They are crafted in small batches from seasonal plants without additional preservatives, thickeners and fillers.

“We are passionate about finding local and particularly native alternatives to imported exotic herbs and ingredients.”
Our Founder
KAROLINA (KAJA) SKRASKOVA
Although my formal training is strongly based in science (pharmacy and chemistry) my life-long love of medicinal plants and herbs allows me to tap into the gentler, energetic form of herbal medicine. While I always craft our extracts and formulate our remedies with plants' chemical constituents in mind, I let the plants guide me to create the framework for our herbal offerings. A new formula always emerges as a strike of lightning in my heart and the brain work typically provides the final touches.
