Embracing Equilibrium for Vitality and Wellbeing
Restoring the connection that binds us to the natural world fosters a sense of balance and renewal for both the mind and body.
Our Story
The Herbalist Bells Beach was founded by Kellie Blair, a local Surf Coast resident passionate about preserving our connection to the natural environment and optimizing health through clean, organic living. Kellie earned her BHSc in Western Herbal Medicine in 2009 and subsequently gained extensive experience in clinical settings and integrative pharmacy. Upon returning home to the Surf Coast, Kellie embarked on a more focused and personal journey, leading to the establishment of The Herbalist Bells Beach.
The Herbalist Bells Beach: Crafting Mindful Botanical Formulations
At The Herbalist Bells Beach, we have embarked on a journey to establish a truly transparent Australian-made skincare and wellbeing company. Each product in our range embodies the essence of botanicals in their purest form, meticulously formulated to deliver exceptional quality, purity, and effectiveness.
Our commitment extends beyond superior product quality; we prioritize formulations that are not only biodegradable post-use but also leave a minimal footprint on our precious land, ecosystems, and waterways. Free from synthetic fragrance oils and harsh chemical additives, our products epitomize the harmonious blend of science and nature.
Through the fusion of botanicals and scientific expertise, we meticulously craft pure and mindful formulations that nurture the mind, body, and soul. With every botanical skincare and wellbeing product we create, we do not simply produce items; we foster a profound connection with the natural world, embodying our ethos of mindfulness, sustainability, and reverence for nature.
Living Lightly
We actively source non-GMO organic botanicals. Organic farming practices ‘give back’ to the soil by providing it with the essential natural nutrients it requires to grow rich, healthy plant life.
Sustainable farming methods allow the soil time for regeneration between crops, helping to maintain the life of the soil for our future generations.
Harvest, Revitalise + Regenerate.
Responsible Practices
Our raw materials are sourced from Australian manufacturers, supporting the local economy, farmlands, and reducing global transport emissions.
We prioritize formulating with naturally biodegradable bio-sourced ingredients to ensure that our products are gentle on both our customers and the planet post-use. This commitment also allows us to uphold our values and maintain exceptional product quality by consciously excluding non-biodegradable synthetic fragrance oils, cheaper synthetic filler alternatives, and harsh chemical additives.
To preserve the optimal activity and efficacy of light-sensitive and active botanical ingredients, we package our formulas in light-deflective vessels made from either amber glass or high-quality PET. Our recycled/recyclable food-grade PET plastic bottles are produced through a circular process using 100% post-consumer waste. These bottles are manufactured locally and shipped directly.
Additionally, we provide aluminum twist tops that are 100% recyclable as an eco-friendly alternative to plastic closures.
All Body Duos, Hair Bundles, and Hand Care Sets are packaged to order in our premium French linen drawstring bags. These bags are Oeko-Tex certified, which is a globally recognized certification system for environmentally friendly and socially responsible production facilities in the textile industry.
