Sydney Botanical Beauty
Hand-poured rose clay soap bar with native botanicals

Natural Beauty, Hand-Poured in Sydney

Cruelty-free, small-batch skincare crafted with sustainably harvested native botanicals.

Our Story

Founded in a Surry Hills loft in 2018, Sydney Botanical Beauty began with a single batch of rose-clay soap poured by founder Alana Rivers. Her vision was simple: blend traditional soap-making techniques with the healing power of native plants. Today, every bar, balm, and serum is still handcrafted in small runs so we can stay true to our roots—and yours.

Our mission is to fuse potent botanicals such as Kakadu plum and blue gum honey with proven dermal science, creating gentle yet effective formulations that celebrate Australia's biodiversity.

From Farm to Face

1. Sourcing

Ingredients gathered within a 400 km radius to minimise transport emissions.

Botanicals steep slowly to preserve vitamins and antioxidants.

3. Curing

Soap bars rest for 6 weeks to reach optimal pH and hardness.

4. Packaging

Finished goods wrapped in recycled paper printed with soy ink.

Kakadu Plum – Vitamin C Powerhouse

Harvested ethically in Arnhem Land, Kakadu plum contains the world’s highest natural concentration of vitamin C, boosting collagen synthesis while scavenging free radicals (Aust. J. Botany, 2021).

Macadamia Oil – Skin Barrier Support

Cold-pressed from Queensland macadamias, this oil mirrors the skin’s own sebum profile, delivering deep, non-greasy hydration.

Blue Gum Honey – Gentle Antimicrobial

Sourced from certified organic apiaries west of the Great Dividing Range, our honey’s low water activity helps keep blemish-causing bacteria at bay.
