Indie Paradiso— The Mineral Sunscreen for Sensitive Skins

Created for those who dislike the feel of traditional sunscreen, Indie Paradiso is a mineral SPF 50+ for sensitive skin designed to feel like skincare rather than a chore. Inspired by the founder's daughter, Indie, who has sensitive skin and a love for sun-soaked days, this fragrance-free and reef-safe formula was developed after a search for a gentle, non-nano, and effective mineral SPF proved fruitless. Made in Australia, the dermatologist-tested and non-comedogenic sunscreen melts into the skin without leaving a chalky residue or greasy finish, providing calm, conscious protection for a life filled with salty hair and sandy toes. It offers an alternative to sunscreens that are clinical or sticky, promising integrity and quality for you and the ocean.

Willow By The Sea— Here’s to the little moments

Driven by their search for pure, organic skincare for their daughter Willow, Luke and Corina founded Willow by the Sea in Newcastle, Australia. Inspired by family heritage and the gentle power of plants and essential oils, they craft 100% certified organic skincare for moms and little ones. Central to Willow by the Sea's identity was creating the core message: “Your story matters.” This is visually communicated through the packaging: each product features a single, framed illustration, elevating individual narratives. Inspired by the personal touch of instant photos, this design choice emphasises the uniqueness of each experience. The visual identity presents an authentic rawness, supported by a mature yet fresh colour palette that conveys a grounded sensibility. This thoughtful approach to packaging and visuals reinforces Willow by the Sea's core message: To celebrate every story is to honour the profound significance of motherhood.
