OUR BRAND STORY

With over 30 years in the beauty industry, founder Lisa Barker created Hale Botanicals to bring balance back to the skin — naturally.

After working with leading brands like Ella Baché and Thalgo, Lisa developed a range of Australian-made, natural skincare designed to support the skin’s microbiome and strengthen even the most sensitive skin.

Hale Botanicals offers simple, effective, and microbiome-friendly skincare that works with your skin for a healthy, confident glow — the natural way.

BEHIND THE BOTTLE

A look inside the Hale workflow - where ingredients are researched carefully, formulas are refined slowly, and products are tested properly before meeting the world.

SKIN SPEAKS FIRST

A problem that keeps showing up, asking to be solved properly.

1

RESEARCH & REALITY

Exploring what already exists and where it falls short, so we can do it differently - and better.

2

HOW IT LIVES ON SKIN

Deciding whether the formula is best as a serum, lotion, cream or balm - based on texture, function, and how it needs to behave on skin.

3

INGREDIENT MAP

Studying the skin concern, then mapping ingredients to it - selecting botanicals and nutrients that work together, not against each other.

4

FIRST FORMULA

The first physical version of the product comes to life.

5

REFINE & ADJUST

Assessing texture, scent, absorption, and skin feel.

6

REAL USE, REAL INSIGHT

Observing how the formula performs over weeks & months.

7

COMMUNITY INPUT

Gathering insights from trusted users and reworking the formula until it meets expectations.

8

STABILITY TESTING

Ensuring the product remains stable and effective over time.

9

THE RIGHT VESSEL

Choosing the right jar, bottle or tube so the product performs well, dispenses properly, and feels aligned with the formula and its intended ritual.

10

SETTING THE SCENE

Introducing the product through imagery that reflects how it is meant to be used and experienced.

11

OUT INTO THE WORLD

This is the moment it leaves the studio and enters real routines where it continues to prove itself, gather feedback, and stay responsive to real skin needs.
