A note from the founder
LILAS was created with a passion to empower women on their aging journey. With trust and transparency at its core, it aims to promote health and wellbeing through real products that are rooted firmly in nature's wisdom, cutting out the stress of the overwhelming industry of beauty.
I have been actively involved in the beauty and health and wellness industry for almost two decades. With a background in cosmetology, my deep interest in skincare has taken me around the world. I left my small town in the countryside of Canada to study and work in some of the most prestigious beauty spas, with a focus on cosmetic ingredients. I eventually settled in Australia, which I have called home for the last 11 years.
My interest in Australian native plants stemmed from my old-fashioned upbringing on a farm in rural Canada. This background instilled in me a deep trust in the power of plants and respect for their wisdom. From this experience, an ethos grew at LILAS: less is more. We believe in giving our skin the space to function naturally without suppression from synthetic products. The less we interfere with our natural rhythms, the more we allow for our systems to work in synergy as they were always meant to.
Harnessing nature's wisdom has become essential in creating purpose-driven skincare products focused on health, wellbeing, inner beauty, and promoting trust in ourselves and Mother Nature. When we care for our skin holistically, listening to its unique language, we restore balance not just within ourselves, but also all living things connected through this beautiful earth. This drives me every day towards authenticity and helping shape realism and respect for the natural ageing process.
