Meet The Team
Kim Guseli
Founder and Award-winning Cosmetic Chemist
If skincare brands had a heartbeat, Kim would be ours.
She’s the one in the lab coat, pipette in hand, looking way too excited about the viscosity of a new formula.
What makes Kim different from your average “skincare founder”?
-
She actually formulates every product herself (no outsourcing to faceless factories).
-
She’s an award-winning cosmetic chemist.
-
She designs each formula to answer real-world questions like:
-
“What’s the best 2-minute clay mask for people with zero spare time?”
-
“How can I reduce my bathroom waste without giving up beautiful skincare?”
-
Kim’s philosophy is equal parts luxury, science, and sustainability meaning you’ll never have to choose between feeling amazing and doing right by the planet.
When she’s not in the lab, you’ll find her:
-
Cooking with her impossibly handsome husband, Stefano.
-
Being outsmarted by her two dachshunds, Dexter and Lucia.
-
Drinking tea while pretending she doesn’t have a to-do list as long as her arm.
Dachshund IVDD Support
Here’s a bit of the behind-the-scenes about why we love and proudly support Dachshund IVDD Support Australia.
Through the education of Dachshund IVDD Support Australia we knew straight away what to do when our precious Lucia was suddenly struck with IVDD (Intervertebral Disc Disease) and was paralysed overnight in December 2018.
We were aware that 1 in 4 dachshunds will be diagnosed with a back condition during their lifetime so we did everything we could to avoid it. We have never allowed Dexter and Lucia jump on furniture, always used ramps, kept them healthy etc. But unfortunately, sometimes even though all precautions are taken, it still strikes.
If it hadn’t been for the ongoing awareness campaigns of Dachshund IVDD Support Australia we wouldn’t have been as prepared, and would have been lost without their support during the heart-wrenching time.
Through our social media pages we will be sharing more about Lucia’s journey and the support from the Dachshund IVDD Support Australia. We are grateful every day for their care, love and guidance.
Lucia and Dexter
