“Upon opening the jar, I instantly loved the smell and really love the handwritten batch notes, nice to know it is small scale! The texture of the balm is beautiful on the skin. Labelling and packaging is very stylish- great that it is in a glass jar! The clear labelling of organic ingredients is awesome to see.

Sigourney Cantelo - Recovery Body Balm
★★★★★
“This is a sensory reset. The scent unfolds beautifully: starting with crisp citrus, it gradually reveals deeper, grounding notes of blue cypress, fir, and patchouli that linger subtly on the skin and in the air. I love that it cleanses gently yet thoroughly, thanks to its aloe-based formulation and natural surfactants. There’s a feeling of balance after using it- like stepping into fresh air after a bush walk. A calming, aromatic ritual for both body and mind. mL Botanics exemplifies slow beauty at its best: small-batch with ethically sourced, wild-harvested and organic botanicals. I’m impressed by their deep integrity: from their use of Miron glass to their rewards program for packaging returns and ongoing support for environmental and Indigenous justice organisations. Their transparent ingredient glossary and commitment to holistic wellness, even within hospital settings, shows a brand that genuinely lives its values.”

Emma Freeman - Recovery Body Balm
★★★★★
“This beautiful room mist is the perfect balance of citrus, wood and smoke- a scent that both uplifts and grounds. It instantly transports me to the healing depths of nature. I love the fine misting mechanism and the recyclable glass bottle. This brand’s commitment to ethical sourcing and natural ingredients shines. Everything is made in small batches, with ingredients wild harvested or sourced from organic farms where possible. Packaging is low-impact- from recyclable glass and compostable mailers to eco-friendly inks and recycled paper stock. I’m also impressed by their support of charities like the Bob Brown Foundation and encouragement of recycling in-store.”
- EMMA FREEMAN, Clean + Conscious Awards 2025.
Neha Hobson - Cypress Blue Room Mist
★★★★★
“This mist instantly transported me to a day spa. The scent is crisp, fresh and uplifting, yet clean and soothing, reminiscent of a beautiful facial experience. I used it in my home office, on linens and throughout my space and it completely transformed the atmosphere. The packaging is refined and matches the calm, restorative mood it creates. I’ve always valued boutique, small-batch brands. To me, that is true luxury and specialty, unlike mass-produced prestige products that feel generic and overly accessible. This brand feels very personal and crafted with care. I was deeply impressed by the level of care taken in sourcing ingredients, especially their commitment to avoiding child or forced labour, animal cruelty and unsustainable farming practices. Their stance on protecting endangered botanicals like frankincense shows real integrity. I also appreciate their transparency in noting which products contain beeswax, honey, or lanolin and that they specify these are sustainably sourced from bee-friendly hives or post-shearing wool. The honesty they offer is rare in the industry. Their use of Miron glass, eco cotton bags and compostable shipping materials reflects a well-rounded, thoughtful approach to sustainability. The fact that their products are used in hospital settings, including with children, speaks volumes about their gentleness and quality.”

Liz Claire - Recovery Body Balm
★★★★★
“I used this for my neck hickey, and it worked so well! Speeds the healing process and works like a charm. Very soothing, and I’m excited to try it for an actual sport-related injury. It is important that the quality of each ingredient and formulation is never compromised – I feel like lots of companies rush the process if it means it’s cheaper or faster, so this impressed me about this brand!”
- LIZ CLAIRE, Clean + Conscious Awards 2025.
Georgia Nides - Recovery Body Balm
★★★★★
“I love that this product comes in a glass jar to reduce plastic waste while also maintaining the integrity of the product. The branding and presentation of this product was also beautiful- and set this product apart from the other products in this category. I loved the smell of it and that it is non-oily. I think the fact that this product is made in small batches by hand and made with premium ingredients that come from organic and biodynamic farms is impressive and adds a beautiful feel to this product. Whilst it’s a muscle support product it feels very luxurious to use which is a reflection of the packaging and branding!”
- GEORGIA NIDES, Clean + Conscious Awards 2025.

Zeynep - Ambrosia Honey Balm
★★★★★
“I absolutely love this luxurious, natural balm made with honey and orange for dry and damaged skin. The rich, creamy texture feels incredibly indulgent, providing immediate relief and deep hydration to my parched skin. The honey works wonders with its soothing and healing properties, while the orange adds a refreshing, invigorating scent that lifts my spirits every time I use it. This balm not only restores my skins softness and suppleness but also leaves a subtle fragrance that lingers throughout the day. Lots the perfect blend of natures best ingredients, delivering both nourishment and a touch of luxury. I used it on my own dry sensitive skin and eczema patches on my son. Very nourishing, hydrating and helped heal those areas within a few weeks.
I also appreciate the brands complete Australian ownership and manufacturing. They have carefully selected minimal yet highly beneficial natural ingredients. Their packaging is recycled glass, which is both eco-friendly and aesthetically appealing. As a former emergency nurse, I’m extremely impressed to see this brand being used in hospital settings. We need more locally owned and natural products committed to using low-tax, chemical-free, and synthetic-free ingredients, utilised in our Australian healthcare settings, especially for our vulnerable populations!”
