I never cleansed my face and I thought the more money you spent on skincare products, the more effective they were. This all changed in April 2020 when I was sitting on my steps trying to take a photo of my daughter and I was horrified with how old and dry my skin looked and how deep my wrinkles had become.
Coincidentally, or more perhaps fate, at this time I had also learnt the skincare I was using at the time was not cruelty free. This took me by complete shock, and as I started researching more ethical brands, I started learning the importance of using natural ingredients… and how expensive skincare with natural ingredients could be.
For most people, skincare doesn’t have to be complicated – all you really need is to cleanse, hydrate and moisturise – but it needs to be done everyday. If you are like me and choosing skincare on the basis the more it costs, the better it must be, then you might be like me and using sparingly so it doesn’t run out as fast. This approach is ineffective and I might as well have been tipping my products (and / or money) down the drain. It is essential to develop your routine and do it everyday.
As a confession, the first photo of my daughter and I below was at the start of the pandemic when I was enjoying quite a bit of wine daily. While this was likely taking its toll on my skin, it also catapulted me into doing something. And, it wasn’t giving up the wine. I started to experiment in creating natural hydrating masks which overtime, led to my creation of GeeGee Skin.
Hydration, routine and natural ingredients are what I have learnt, the most effective for creating flawless, glowing and ageless skin.
I have created GeeGee Skin as an affordable, high quality skin care brand that uses natural ingredients sourced from some of Australia’s most potent natives that help brighten, tighten and hydrate skin.
I believe in what I have created and I am determined to keep GeeGee Skin:
1. Affordable and accessible
2. Toxic free and vegan using organic ingredients where possible
3. Australian made & owned with locally sourced ingredients
4. Ethical with sustainable packaging
5. Animal cruelty free
6. As a holistic – wellbeing approach

With natural ingredients, GeeGee Skin products can be applied to any skin type without causing irritation. Ditch the makeup and be confident in your own skin, naturally.
Australian made and owned
We are proudly an Australian business. Our products are made in Australia with ingredients sourced locally. Australia is fortunate to be home to some powerful native plants that are high in antioxidants, vitamins and other nutrients that nourish and help the regeneration of skin cells providing you a youthful glow.
Natural and organic ingredients
Our products do not contain artificial colours and fragrances, mineral oil, lanolin, S.D. alcohol, parabens, microplastics, ethoxylates, propylene glycol, petrochemical cleansers, phthalates and DEA and artificial colours – all of the nasties that have no place in skincare. We use natural ingredients and organic ingredients where possible.
Vegan and no animal testing
This is a must in any products we buy. We do not believe in the use of animals in any beauty product. We look forward to the day we no longer have to state this and the use of animals in the beauty industry is banned worldwide.
We are incredibly proud of our indigenous cultural heritage. It has been around for over 65,000 years passed down from generation to generation through Traditional Owners. It is rich and unique and one that needs to be protected. We proudly support organisations that work to improve the lives of our indigenous communities and protect their traditions.
Sustainable packaging
How we can minimise our footprint has been a critical component in all of our packaging design. This is why:
