WHO IS BEAUTIFULLY AUTHENTIC?

About Beautifully Authentic

Hello Beautiful Soul,

I'm Nicola Benson, the heart and soul behind Beautifully Authentic. Our journey began in 2019 with a mission born out of love and necessity. As a stay-at-home mum faced with my child's incredibly reactive, itchy, dry, and sensitive skin, I embarked on a profound challenge. With a background in Beauty Therapy and Environmental Science, I knew I had to find a solution when nothing else worked. I discarded all my previous formulation knowledge and started from scratch. The result was the Deluxe, our first product: a Concentrated Moisturizing Lotion Bar that is anti-inflammatory and antioxidant-rich.

This life-changing creation didn’t just transform my child's skin; it ignited a ripple effect. Friends and family saw the miraculous results and soon requested the same for their children and themselves. Beautifully Authentic was born from this wave of love and trust.

Beautifully Authentic is more than a skincare brand. It’s a testament to the power of love, nature, and dedication. Each product is lovingly handmade in South Australia with intention, using the purest plant-based ingredients to nourish and repair all skin types. We are committed to zero waste, ensuring that our love for your skin extends to our planet as well.

At Beautifully Authentic, our passion for healthy skin and a healthy earth drives everything we do. We are not just creating skincare; we are crafting life-changing, industry-disrupting solutions. Our products are meticulously handmade with love and the highest quality ingredients sourced from nature. Our commitment to clean, sustainable skincare is unwavering, and we strive to innovate, grow, and deliver exceptional results.

As a formulator, there is nothing more rewarding than witnessing the transformations our products bring. The confidence and joy our skincare instills in you and your loved ones motivates us every day. We are driven by a deep passion for healthy skin and a healthy earth. Our mission is to create skincare that not only transforms your skin but also uplifts your spirit. With every product, we bring you a piece of our heart, a touch of nature's magic, and a promise of genuine care.

Much Love,
Nicola xox

Award Winning

In 2022 the Queen Concentrated Moisturising Lotion Bar was formulated, and spontaneously it was entered into the the Organic Beauty Awards.

We were completely taken aback when we found out that it had not only won an Award for Best Deep Hydration Cream, but also won an Award for Best Clean Palm Oil Free Body Care with a key attribute of being Perfectly Balanced.

In 2023 we entered the Deluxe and Opulent Concentrated Moisturising Lotion Bars into the Clean and Conscious Awards. The Deluxe came out with a Silver award in Zero Waste Body Care, and the Opulent was a finalist in the Zero Waste Beauty category. We are immensely proud being up against much larger more established brands, and being recognised as a contender.

In 2024 our new Royal Bakuchiol 1% Natural Retinol Alternative Concentrated Moisturising Lotion Bar was a finalist out of over 600 entrants to the SheCom Awards, so that was pretty cool!

Packaging

We have chosen our packaging to be minimalist and have the least impact on the planet that packaging can possibly have.

ALL of our packaging is compostable.

From our mailers to our boxes to our labels; You won't find one bit of plastic anywhere.

Want to feed your soil? Just tear up the boxes into small pieces and put them in your compost.

Palm & Coconut Free

We have chosen to avoid coconut and palm oil and derivatives because of we believe that they have a devasting impact on natural habitats, ecosystems and local communities when commercial grown and farmed, especially palm oil.

Coconut oil is also not great for the skin, as it sits on top and doesn't allow the skins natural defense system to work naturally and efficiently, which can create more skin sensitivities. Many people are actually very allergic to Coconut and find it difficult to discover natural products without it. Beautifully Authentic want to be that beacon of trust for those that do suffer with coconut allergies.

Every Purchase Plants A Tree

We are committed to keeping this Earth of ours taken care of, and therefore plant 2 trees and save 20g CO2 for every purchase made here at Beautifully Authentic.

You can glow inside and out knowing that each purchase you make from Beautifully Authentic benefits not only your skin, but also the planet.

Beautifully Authentic skincare is so pure that it is safe to use even in your natural environment, including a shower, a waterfall, or a swim in the ocean.

What Makes Our Moisturisers So Amazing?

  • Our Moisturiser Bars are concentrated nourishment; there are no fillers, bulkers, texturizers, and nothing that can inflame, irritate or clog pores. Therefore you don't need additional oils or other layers, and you don't need harsh cleansers to wash them off.
