Meet Marion

Nealie - New South Wales

My name is Marion and I am the founder of Nealie. 2 years ago, I created Nealie after being initiated and trained by an aromatherapist (Sarah). Thanks to Sarah I have been introduced to the benefits of natural and organic ingredients and how to formulate meaningful and respectful skincare. After moving to Australia my skin was struggling to adapt to the different environment, so I found relief creating my own skincare to look after and protect my skin. I then wanted to share it with people. I believe everyone should have access to respectful & trustworthy skincare to look after their skin.

I wanted to give people a sensory experience that helps to connect with their bodies and feel grounded, through their senses of touch and delicate scents.

With Nealie I make organic ritual moisturizer/massage therapy balm using native Australian and Mediterranean plants.

While creating I bring lots of care and love to my products. I use a low-heat fabrication process to preserve the quality of the ingredients and benefits on the skin & it contains at least 98% organic ingredients. It's Handmade on the Northern Beaches in Sydney.

The jars are in glass and the lid is made from bamboo. For shipping, I use Heapsgood Packaging who provide recycled box shipping and environment-friendly honeycomb wrapping.

I started Nealie after an injury in my wrist, I used to work in hospitality but my body is not supporting it anymore and I keep hurting myself, I am slowly moving to another field but it's still currently not stable for me I don't have a secure job. I hope to develop my network and sales with Nealie, seeing my business growing and expanding and being profitable.
