Acne isn't just about pimples – it's an inflammatory condition where bacteria, excess oil, and dead skin cells clog pores, leading to those frustrating breakouts.
But the real damage? It goes way deeper than the skin.
“7 in 10 teens say acne affects their self-esteem"
Many girls skip social events, hide from cameras, and lose confidence during these critical years. And what's worse? The harsh chemical treatments they're turning to could be making everything worse.
Traditional acne treatments often contain harsh chemicals like benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid that can strip, irritate, and age young skin – creating a vicious cycle of damage and dependency.
But Mother Nature has a better answer...

"I’m noticing I can wear less foundation makeup now . Lip gloss and minimal amount of makeup. The less chemicals I can put on my skin the better. My daughter and others are asking why my skin looks so good! I use them mornings and nights and it’s working wonders for my skin."

"I love Australiana products, especially the Fragonia face cream and the Lemon Myrtle and Lavender serum which I use everyday. I have super fair and sensitive skin and have to be careful with skin care. But these are wonderful. And smell heavenly."

Think of your skin barrier like a brick wall:
• The 'bricks' are skin cells
• The 'mortar' is natural lipids and proteins
• Together, they form a protective shield
But harsh chemicals can damage this delicate structure, leading to:
- Moisture loss
- Bacterial imbalance
- Increased sensitivity
- More breakouts
Our natural formula doesn't just tackle acne –
it rebuilds and strengthens the skin's natural barrier:
Kakadu Plum:
• Strengthens cell membranes with vitamin C
• Supports ceramide production
• Reinforces tight junctions between cells
• Result: Stronger 'brick wall' structure
Lemon Myrtle:
• Provides essential fatty acids
• Supports lipid barrier repair
• Maintains healthy moisture levels
• Result: Protected skin barrier
Nerolina:
• Regulates sebum composition
• Supports natural moisturizing factors (NMFs)
• Balances skin flora
• Result: Restored barrier function
Lemon Aspen:
• Maintains optimal pH balance (5.5)
• Supports natural exfoliation without disruption
• Preserves beneficial bacteria
• Result: Balanced skin microbiome
Manuka:
• Creates breathable protective layer
• Supports natural healing processes
• Maintains optimal hydration
• Result: Enhanced barrier recovery

Case study: Young 16 year old
From this to this in 30 days
This young woman was really suffering from her acne. Her self-esteem took a real dive and was so unhappy. Her mother tried many remedies including doctor visits. Nothing was really working. She heard about Australiana Botanicals and called us and asked some questions. Having tried many remedies she decided to give us a try. She felt she had nothing to lose. The improvement was almost overnight. Her daughters redness and inflammation settled down very quickly. Each week she has improved and is a different person. So much happier now. The mother is now also using Australiana skin care products for herself and loves them. Happy mother and happy daughter.
An abridged message from her Mum to you:
“To all the mums out there with teenage daughters experiencing acne.
My 16-year-old had beautiful flawless skin. Literally overnight, her skin turned with full-on acne nodules and cysts. She went from a carefree, confident young woman to lacking confidence, self-conscious and low self-esteem. We tried many different products over six months. All failed.
The medical profession wanted to put her on contraceptive pills to alter her hormones. To me, this is crazy.
Another option was using Benzoyl Peroxide. Again, a chemical solution that may fix one problem only to cause others.
I decided to see what natural solutions I could find. I came across Australiana Botanicals – thank god! I contacted the company and spoke to the owner. I purchased the 3 suggested products. The results were amazing! Within the first week our whole family commented that the inflammation had noticeably decreased. We were all surprised due to the short time span.
As a mother I saw the pain my daughter went through. Physical and emotional. It was heart wrenching. I would do anything to fix it. Australiana has made such a positive change to her overall happiness. It is the best thing ever! I couldn’t recommend this product enough. We documented the journey with pictures and looking back I had forgotten how bad her skin was and to see the comparison is SO SO AMAZING!!"

Why OTC medications are not a good solution
There are many "over the counter" anti-acne preparations on the market. They may seem to work for a while, but then may make the situation worse. They tend to significantly dry out skin, or cause irritation when first used, and can even cause flare-ups.
Of greater concern most use Benzoyl Peroxide (BPO), a powerful chemical which decomposes into benzene which is a proven carcinogen. Benzoyl Peroxide is banned in Europe for this reason. While the US FDA currently approves use under 2 PPM (parts per million) manufacturers are using concentrations up to 12 times the allowed PPM.
The US FDA recommends benzene not be used in the manufacturing of any portion of a drug product due to its known carcinogenic properties. Banned in Europe for this reason.
More seriously, tests have found that time and temperature causes acne preparations with BPO to produce benzene many times greater than at the time of manufacture and many times above any suggested “safe” limit. Benzene is absorbed through skin. This is a major health concern and the subject of many currently active lawsuits filed against acne preparation providers. There is a formal recommendation to the US FDA for market withdrawal of BPO, filed by medical research organizations.
There are also common side effects such as rashes, irritation, skin dryness, burning/stinging, initial outbreaks and dry, flaky skin.
No side effects have been reported from Australiana Botanicals products. In the unlikely event an individual has a specific allergy to some natural plant any effect would probably be temporary redness. Australiana uses no ingredients that are considered harmful or a health risk. All ingredients are botanical and work though natural antibacterial, cleansing and nourishing properties. They provide intense levels of nutrition (vitamin C, anti-oxidants, minerals and complex nutrients) which help to promote a healthy environment that is conducive to natural body healing. It does not dry out skin, repairs dryness and flakiness and promotes hydration, which in turn allows for a positive environment for natural healing and resiliency to take place.
Important Notes:
The World Health Organization and International Agency for Research on Cancer describe benzene as “carcinogenic to humans”. The United States Department of Health and Human Services also identifies benzene as cancer-causing, linking it to acute lymphocytic leukemia, chronic lymphocyticleukemia, multiple myeloma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
Benzene can enter the human body through the eyes, skin, respiratory system, blood, central nervous system and bone marrow, according to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health and Centers for Disease Control. Benzene then causes cells to not work properly and interferes with red blood cell production while also changing blood levels and interfering with white blood cell levels, one lawsuit says.

According to Dermatology Times, a leading professional medical publication:
High levels of the cancer-causing chemical benzene were found in various benzoyl peroxide (BPO) acne products from major brands, including Proactiv, Clinique, Clearasil, and more.1
Valisure LLC, an US independent testing laboratory, filed a petition with the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently, requesting a recall of treatments affected by elevated levels of the carcinogen in order to allow regulators to investigate.2 Valisure tested 66 BPO products, including creams, lotions, gels, and washes that are available over the counter from main retailers or in prescription form. Currently, FDA guidelines allow up to 2 parts per million of benzene, and Valisure found acne products that contain up to 12 times the allowed amount.
What do the essential oils do?
Nerolina is a more gentle variety of Melaleuca (Tea Tree) and offers multiple benefits to acne sufferers. It has antibacterial, antiseptic, and anti-inflammatory properties and nourishes the skin for a softer and smoother appearance. It is also a powerful emollient providing moisture and softness.
Being anti-inflammatory Nerolina oil can help reduce redness, swelling, and irritation.
It is high in linalool which encourages the production of vitamin E and used to improve the appearance and healing of scar tissue.
Nerolina oil has aromatherapy properties that relax the body and soothe away stress. As an uplifting oil it can heighten self-esteem, bring clarity and self-awareness.
Makuka
You have likely heard of Manuka Honey. Miracle healing honey from the pollen of the New Zealand Manuka tree. Manuka oil, from the same tree, and more potent, can be used topically to help with acne without causing the irritation and dryness that can come from chemical acne treatments. Many people who suffer from cystic, hormonal acne swear by its antimicrobial properties for wiping away their redness, dry patches, or oily pores. Manuka oil has been scientifically shown to have even more antibacterial properties than regular tea tree oil.
Manuka oil contains triketones, which have antimicrobial properties that can help kill bacteria that cause acne and can help soothe and calm irritated skin.
Manuka oil is a light, non-greasy oil that's rich in fatty acids, which can help hydrate and nourish the skin. It is known for its wound-healing properties and can help clear infections. Manuka oil has a pleasant, earthy scent that can help you relax and soothe your mind.

Yes, absolutely! All of the ingredients are botanical, and while powerful they are gentle and suitable for the most sensitive skin. As with all active ingredients, we recommend a small patch test if you have a history of allergies to some plants.
We specialize in Australian native super-fruits and essential oils as our powerhouse ingredients that deliver the amazing results you can expect. These fruits have been scientifically tested and make up some of the most powerful on earth. We also use traditional favorites such as Aloe. Our ingredients are certified organic except for some of the Outback ingredients which are wild harvested from remote areas and unable to be officially certified.
Examples of the Aussie native plants and essential oils we use:
Kakadu Plum
Quandong
Lilly Pilly
Lemon Aspen
Lemon Myrtle essential oil
Australian Sandalwood Seed oil
Fragonia esential oil
Many native Aussie plants are the richest on earth with ultra-high levels of vitamins (especially C), anti-oxidants and phyto-nutrients.
Three things, really:
1) The special Australian native ingredients already described. These have unique compounds in elevated levels that are highly beneficial for skin and body care.
2) No harmful ingredients. All botanical. Our philosophy for healthy, glowing skin care is high level nutrition from Mother Nature and NOT chemicals. We recommend using minimal product.
3) We use the latest scientific manufacturing techniques that allow us to produce fruit extracts at the cellular level. This means no degradation of the extract retaining 100% of natures potency. It also means no residual processing chemicals. Our products are subsequently very "clean" and can be properly called "all natural".
Yes, absolutely! In fact we recommend twice daily - morning and night - for best results. It is not possible to "overdose" your skin with our products. You will find you only need to use very small amounts of each product. In most cases "pea" size is all. A jar lasts a long time.
