Subtle Energies

Farida Irani founded Subtle Energies in Sydney in 1993, drawing on her work in clinical aromatherapy and Ayurveda. The family-owned business makes skincare, body care and fragrances in Australia. Its range includes oils and botanical blends with ingredients such as Mogra, Tulasi and Kakadu plum. If you enjoy a fragrant skincare routine, the maker's product pages are a useful place to compare the ingredients and scents before you choose.

Subtle Energies describes its products as formulated and manufactured in Australia to GMP standards. It also publishes information about its cruelty-free policy and its approach to sourcing. The brand makes products for both home use and spa treatments, so a product you discover during a visit may also be available for your own bathroom. Its skincare and body-care options vary in texture and fragrance; check the individual label if you have an allergy or prefer to avoid an essential oil.

The maker also describes its packaging and batch-production choices on its website. As with any skincare range, it is worth looking at a specific product's ingredients and directions rather than assuming every formula is alike.
