The best Perth skin and haircare brands
Show your skin and luscious locks some TLC with these local brands.
With everything from everyday SPFs to super-luxe serums, there’s plenty of excellent Perth-based skincare providers to choose from.
Heartwood
It just takes one step into Heartwood‘s dreamy Cottesloe space… Suddenly, we feel relaxed, soothed and transformed. As well as their luxe facials and massages (we can attest: heavenly), they stock a huge range of clean beauty products – including their own perfumes, incense and face oils. Their hero ingredient is Indian Sandalwood, seen in just about all of their products and sustainably grown, harvested and distilled by Heartwood at their farm in the Kimberley.

Etto
From the bush to the bathroom, West Australian skincare brand ETTO is harnessing the power of eucalyptus and tea tree oil. The result is a curated lineup of whole-body products that merge beauty with first aid – whether you’re a farmer or a facialist. This lineup includes a whipped cleansing foam that will soothe everything from flaky scalps to itchy feet, plus a no-muss-no-fuss spray that combines pure tea tree and eucalyptus oil – the same oils that ANZACs carried in their kits. Self-dissolving micro-dart acne patches deliver pure tea tree oil, hyaluronate and salicylic acid to spots, while a kaolin clay and tea tree mask clears pores, calms redness and reduces dryness.

Sodashi
Not just about skin, Sodashi seeks to nourish the mind, body and spirit with their natural and artisanal products. Now stocked in spas in over 25 countries, their focus is on radiance and unique beauty, utilising natural botanical extracts.
Bread Beauty Supply
This absolute powerhouse haircare brand counts little ol’ Perth as home! Launching in 2020, you’ll now see cult-favourite Bread locally on the shelves of Sephora, as well as globally in Sephora, spaceNK, Ulta, Selfridges and on ASOS. The mission is simple: to make haircare fun and easy – especially for hair types that have been traditionally overlooked by mainstream beauty brands. We love to see it!
About Time We Met
Harness the power of sandalwood with About Time We Met’s range of ethical and sustainably-made skincare. Responsibly harvested from parent company Quintis Sandalwood’s vast Indian sandalwood plantation that spans 12,000 hectares across northern Australia and boasts nearly six million trees (the largest in the world), the “liquid gold” has been proven to be a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory, as well as a powerful ingredient in combating acne, signs of aging, blue light pollution and more.
The Secret Skincare
Founded by Dr. Clara Hurst, owner of luxe Cottesloe skin clinic Blanc, and Dr. Deb Cohen-Jones, perhaps Perth’s most glamorous GP; The Secret is the mysterious, magical answer to your skincare prayers. Specially formulated for hard-to-treat conditions like melasma, products are made to order to improve the efficacy of the active ingredients. You just need to check out those before and afters to be convinced.
Mother SPF
The most important step in your skincare routine? SPF! You gotta slip, slop, slap! We’re passionate about being sunsafe, and Mother has been created by some even more passionate locals.
