25.01.2022 When evenings are balmy and mornings are warm. When you want freshness and the delicate aroma of greenery and warm wood with the cool clarity of Clary Sage. Body Wash Gel for when seasons change and so do desires. #bodywash #freshbodywash #naturalbodywash

24.01.2022 Coming in store isn’t just looking and smelling.......it’s also feeling, the absolute best part. I’m sure many of you have had Kathy make your visit memorable.

24.01.2022 Tools of my trade. This is actually quite an antique and hand blown. Back in the day when that was the norm. #handmadeskincare #healthyskincare #watchusgrow

24.01.2022 On a dark cold night someone was alone within their own walls. They wandered there lit by a single small flame and deeply drew air into their body weighted with spices and scents of other lands and other peoples, other times and other mysteries beyond their own. We’ll take you somewhere with our Woods Raw Incense. Found under Gifts in the shop of our website.

24.01.2022 Our very large Body Cream. Thick and dense with a velvet finish. When your skin needs oils but also moisture. Citrus scented mellowed with orange florals. Softening and hydrating a body cream that does more while still being a pleasure to wear. Exactly what you’d expect from us #naturalbodycreams #healthyskinforlife #savantapothecary

24.01.2022 May your day end with you warm, clean and fragrant. #naturalmilkcleanser #healthyskinforlife #savantapothecary

23.01.2022 The Perfect Bath Have time! Water temp about 48C Ingredients (salts and Body Oil) Something to do (body scrub, face mask, face oil)... Something you don’t often allow yourself (alcohol? Chocolate? Cigarette?) Low light A great bath temp is hot enough that it’s hot but you feel like you can just stay in. As it cools you are sufficiently warmed that you don’t become cold. We have for the last ten years or so had an old cast iron bath outside that connects to our portable gas heater and the hose. This bath has followed us around a couple of homes (and even comes camping) but it is an important part of our quality time together where we discuss our day, dreams, concerns and ideas. Sometimes we barely talk and just lay back and look up at the sky. I love oils in a bath as they coat and hydrate your skin so beautifully and the scent of the flowers, leaves and barks they come from immediately takes you away from your day that was. I often take a while to really relax and need something to do for the first while so a body scrub, face cleanse/mask and face oil is in order. Extended time in a bath, particularly if hot, will deplete your skin of oils and fats. Putting a good oil on prevents this, making it packed full of vitamins is even better. Once this is completed I’m ready to lie back and be still or engage in conversation unrelated to work . And candles! Must have candles or a fire pit burning close by . Sigh.I need to go camping.

23.01.2022 Red Clay Body Scrub is more fun when shared #naturalscrubs #bodyscrubs #savantapothecary

23.01.2022 Sometimes you just need to say All the hot water’s mine and disappear for the evening. #weknowbathtime #luxuriousskincare #savantapothecary

22.01.2022 Finally it’s here! It’s been a big week for me and today feels like a load off with some tasks/hurdles/doors......it feels like all three finally opening. Happy weekend everyone!!

22.01.2022 Hush little baby, mama needs to rest. Sleep well tonight. Sleep Balm is skin contact ready for all ages. Sleep Blend is pure Essential Oil and good for baths, burners and diffusers. Sleep Blend must be diluted for skin contact. Sleep Balm does not. This needs needs to have Chamomile, Marjoram, Lavender to fulfill expectations and we’ve masked their heavy scent with fresh Lemon and others to make this smell delightful. Enjoy #sleepbalm #sleepblend #savantapothecary

21.01.2022 We make emulsion type cleansers and gel type cleansers. Emulsion type cleansers are for skin areas that can get dry and like to be cleansed with waters and oils. Gel type cleansers are for areas that like to be cleaned more with water and soaps. Areas that need to have sweat and solutes dissolved and rinsed away with no residue. Both have their place and purpose, both natural made and both a pleasure to use. Enjoy

21.01.2022 Soaps from this week. Main image is our goats milk soap from our post a couple of days ago. We’ve run low on soaps as we cope with our normal production but we dived in this week and got heaps done. Goats Milk is at both stores but others are at Kotara still. Will have them at Junction store tomorrow. Have a great weekend x

21.01.2022 Clears the air when all your efforts cannot. Helps a family who’s under the weather with colds and invites you into a room with fresh intriguing scents of conifers and eucalypts, lemons and mints and soft green ground herbs. Made for Oil Burners and Diffusers, also good in a shower and a drop or two in a bath.

18.01.2022 Her Saturday.........

18.01.2022 Sometimes you do, sometimes you don’t. When I think about what a product will be it’s not just a biological question of what it will do on your skin, it’s a thought I have about you. How are you likely to behave, all pretences down, just your true, real, day to day behaviour. Once I think I have that then I think about how I design my product to help you. If your true behaviour is mostly one product on your skin a day then I need to make that a key consideration when I formul...ate. I need to make sure that product is really good, everyday. I know you want a fresh clear skin, so how will I deliver it in the most practical way possible. Luminous 15% is the result of that question. For those of us who think we’ll do involved routines but really we won’t. I hope you love it as much as I do #effectivefacecreams #savantapothecary #healthyskinforlife See more

18.01.2022 Body Oil, it’s great in a bath. It’s great on wet skin. It’s great on dry skin, it’s great after a scrub. Richly nutritious it penetrates the skin well with a soft comfortable finish. Has a noticeably softening effect and smells warm and rich with deep woods and balsams mingled with exotic florals. Online and instore. #savantapothecary #bodyoil #healthyskinforlife

18.01.2022 OOO Salve soft and comforting for when kids won’t stop scratching. Soothing for the cut on your finger. Relief for that red itchy spot. Calming for young kids who’ve learned that holding a bee, ant or wasp isn’t a good idea. #naturalremedies #savantapothecary #helpinghand

18.01.2022 For the past many months we have had many discussions about what a Savant fragrance would be. We’ve spoken to European perfumers and all sat together and smelt some of the most popular perfumes in the world. Then we came to admit that they were not what we were after. You see our noses are now so familiar at naturally occurring scents that to smell a man made fragrance is a very big shift and generally not enjoyed. This was a rather heavy realization to come upon us, and esp...ecially me, as it means we are to start from the very beginning. We start out green, that clean page, that road not travelled. All of us have spoken about a scent we’ve found since then. A smell that moved us somewhere and sometime in our day. When I’m on walks I can smell a small flower hidden in a bush and I am amazed and enthralled. While I’m working on all sorts of other things I’m still thinking and smelling. My staff make exquisite little blends and keep records. We have a perfume note book now, the start of a memorable knowledge bank of scent. I’m afraid it can’t be rushed. But it will be good. It will be very very good and it will be made by the world around you and put together, layer upon layer, by us. I am to dream Goodnight x #savantapothecary #naturalperfume #powerofscent See more

17.01.2022 Creamy, soft and sherbet like to smell and touch. Prickly, tingly and warming to use as it softens and dislodges frayed loose dead skin cells on the surface and flushes the underlying skin through with temporary increased blood flow. A mildly acidic mask in a rich creamy base to both smooth and hydrate. Used when skin is sluggish and rough, dry and bumpy. Leave on for 5 to 10mins depending on response your skin feels. Apply your moisturiser afterwards and NO acidic lotions for 24hrs, meaning none of our Rectifying Serum or other brands AHA products. Hope it serves you well.

16.01.2022 Green Clay Mask and a sneaky glimpse of how our new mask bowls are coming along. More pictures of them will come as they evolve. @elkiefairbrother is the genius ceramicist who came in with a smiling face and loads of enthusiasm There is another shot on our stories because I couldn’t help myself lol

16.01.2022 I’m not sure what she uses but I know she loves this shop He talks about this shop all the time but I don’t know what to get My wife told me she wanted this cream but I can’t remember what it was I want my friend to come in here and have the best time choosing what she’d like We do Gift Vouchers for all kinds of reasons and amounts. They really do make peoples day when they get them and when they come in. Available to purchase online or instore.

16.01.2022 Moving liquids. Pulled and stretched, sliding and rolling against each other. So smooth and relaxing to watch but still so incredibly complex.

15.01.2022 Good morning..,time to scrub up and show up. Have a great one.

15.01.2022 Resplendent.....your friend when it’s windy, when it’s cold and when it’s dry. Your comfort when a hug isn’t fixing the heart of the matter. When you’re tired of red cheeks or problem patches around your mouth or nose. Your wind down when you seek peace and slow rhythm the night before a week begins. Smooth and rich it stays and gives a hungry or tired skin nourishment and replenishment. The friend that lives on your bathroom cabinet. #skincomfort #naturalskincaredonewell #healthyskinforlife #savantapothecary

14.01.2022 Preparation for our Goats Milk Soap. The sugars in fresh goats milk like to scorch when we are adding Lye so we have to freeze and pack the goats milk in ice first. My favorite soap #savantapothecary #goatsmilksoap #sensitiveskinsoap #naturalsoaps

13.01.2022 Hey Babe, want me to scrub your back? Hell Yeah!!! Make Sunday wonderful x #greatbodyscrubs #qualitytime #savantapothecary

13.01.2022 The soft creamy Lemon Peeling Mask that is much punchier than it looks. Made to smooth, soften and hydrate. Feels prickly and warm. Best left for no more than 10mins then wiped it rinsed off. A mask that needs to be taken seriously. Use no more than once a week. If you are a cosmeceutical user then possibly even less. Enjoy #facemasks #savantapothecary #healthyskinforlife

13.01.2022 Maybe you can’t be bothered? Maybe you need a change? Maybe you don’t feel well? Maybe you need a hug? There are lots of reasons people choose to use Resplendent to feel better. Life is like laying on a board on the ocean, up down, slowing rocking here and there, sometimes you move fast in your direction, sometimes you drift slowly, sometimes you fall off and get back on, sometimes you can stand and rule both, sometimes it’s sunny, sometimes not. Sometimes it’s a mad thrill, sometimes you can sleep in it’s warmth. Hope your ocean and board are good to you today, and Resplendent too. Xx

12.01.2022 Say hello to the Savant team. Each one of these people has come in and wanted so much to be part of what Savant Apothecary is doing and they are all truly remarkable. Team you humble me so much. Love working with you and you have bought us far. Most excitingly is what we have ahead. See you tomorrow xx Kylie #achievingdreams #bettertogether #lovewhatwedo

12.01.2022 Night time comforts. Today reconciled and tomorrow’s promises begun. Sleep long and well. #nourishingskincare #savantapothecary #healthyskinforlife

12.01.2022 Rose and Orange Toner. Immediate gratification with replenishing moisture from Hyaluronates into the skin. Long term rewards of high levels of niacinamide (B3) to keep skin clear through decades of sun and environment exposure. Held in our Rose and Orange floral water. Goes under a moisturizer and stays on the skin.

12.01.2022 We make many great things but this is our most important. Steady and consistent with changes that slowly keep showing over the months and years as your becomes clearer, softer, smoother and easier to maintain. How do we do it? By eliminating all non important ingredients, by using natural plant ingredients, by adding increasing doses of vitamins so you can grow with your skins increasing needs through your life. No toxic load for your skin to deal with. No unnecessary texture enhancers or binders. Just years of diligent attention, research and craft. If you’re new to us and new to our Luminous range welcome. We hope it is serving you well.

11.01.2022 We stay back late to make sure an emulsion will cool properly. We talk to suppliers about impending harvest expectations and we gather to quietly discuss a formulation or batch variance. We do this because it’s how we are. We do this because we want you to love what we make you. At Christmas we do it even more as we get ready for the many of you who will share what we make with people who mean a lot to you. Lots of the work has begun already as we make and make again but at Christmas we get to dress our boxes up extra special with the touches that this lovely time brings. May the coming season of joy.....be truly joyful to you. X Kylie and team. #christmasatsavant #lovegiving #comingtogether

11.01.2022 First Day Smiles . Welcome Miranda

11.01.2022 Soon Henry will be moving to our production space in Carrington. I’m sure lots of you have met Henry already. He’s incredibly caring and looks after people very well. He’s also a naturally thorough person who’s careful, precise and follows things through. He’s a good problem solver and has quite a developed sense of smell........so he very much belongs with us as our second primary maker. Chances are, for those of you far away, Henry has made your Milk Cleanser, Luminous or Body Cream. Say Hi when you’re next in and cheers to you Henry. It’s great having you on board. #lovewhatwedo #buildingsomethinggreat #savantapothecary

10.01.2022 Vit C&A Oil almost completed. Actually this is a Vit A, C & E Oil as we make it with all three. We just don’t talk about Vit E as much as we should as it’s been so long established as a wonderful skin health ingredient. So yes Vit E, an essential nutrient your body needs to function, but is unable to make itself, is in this oil and our Luminous creams too. Vit E Oil is particularly viscous and persistent on the skin so we don’t use high doses like we do with Vit C or the product would be difficult to wear but the doses are high enough to make their presence known without being uncomfortable #savantapothecary #vitE #healthyskinforlife

10.01.2022 Waiting for the cut in the morning but so far so good

09.01.2022 I know you’re out teaching your brother to drive today Henry but Mum’s in here whipping your arse making your soap.....well maybe you still do it better for now, but the gap is closing on this design lol #handmadesoaps #naturalsoaps #savantapothecary

09.01.2022 Who’s making your moisturizer? Do you love it? Is it making your skin feel amazing all of the time? Is it good enough that worrying about your skin is a thing of the past? Luminous solves problems, Luminous feels good. Luminous is dependable, Luminous has different levels so we know we can get it right for you. It’s made completely by us to cover all angles of what we expect it to deliver. Try it in store, try it through a Discovery Pack or take a big jar home. Discover what good natural vitamin enriched skincare can do. #savantapothecary #naturalvitaminskincare #healthyskinforlife

08.01.2022 It’s Friday......time to be not so serious, laugh and have fun. Have a great one everybody! Cheers @angusfanning for being a great sport. This was a fun shoot cheers to @jyecurrie too for being talented, patient and a fabulous part of our team. Happy weekend everyone from team Savant

07.01.2022 It’s Friday......but today is no ordinary Friday. It’s a start of school holidays Friday which means an extra special Friday where routines can relax, Dinners can be extra easy, mum can be absent for a while in the bathroom with our Red Clay Body Scrub....that first smell, that feeling of it moving between your fingers and lastly when you get to lay back in the fragrant pink bath it gives you while you contemplate term 2 through the hoop. Love your Friday everyone

07.01.2022 Meet friends out for lunch? Nah......I’m busy.

07.01.2022 Georgina and I are making this Pink Clay swirled soap at Kotara today. This soap has been Henry’s creation and I’ve not made it before. Don’t know if I’m comfortable with my son making better soaps than me yet lol . We’ve been busy making body cream and milk cleanser this week. Discovery Packs will be available later next week as some very late glass jars finally arrive. Happy weekend everyone #handmadeskincare #healthyskinforlife #savantapothecary

07.01.2022 If perhaps tonight is bigger than you planned and you need to have it together tomorrow. Headache Ease a handy companion when days are harder than you want them to be. Fresh and minty with still a mellow undertone it is worn on temples, under jaw or behind the neck. Eases tension, relieves the soft thud and helps you keep smiling. #naturalheadacherelief #savantapothecary #easyliving

07.01.2022 When cleaning your skin needs to be good for your skin. Body Wash Milk Emulsion rethinks how we clean skin. Soft, velvety and fully washable. #healthyskinforlife #savantapothecary #naturalbodywash

06.01.2022 The Lemon Myrtle soap you all love was made today. It’s taken me a while to make this again as we keep making new soaps while we explore what our permanent line up will be. This one though is a keeper #essentialoilsoaps #naturalsoaps #savantapothecary

06.01.2022 We will be making an insect repellent in time for summer hopefully using the Lemon Eucalyptus mentioned below. These guys Compound Interest have a knack for presenting complex information simply.

05.01.2022 Made this soap again today. The first batch sold out so I guess it’s a keeper. Charcoal, eucalyptus, lavender and just a little, little bit of spearmint

05.01.2022 We made more candles yesterday and today. They will get their final trimming and dressing up tomorrow and should be ready by lunch time. Original minty lemon scent and now our Sturmfrei essential oil scent is a candle too. Enjoy them . #savantapothecary #essentialoilcandles #naturalhomefragrance

04.01.2022 Your skin, the largest organ you have, yet the one most likely by you to be not considered an organ. Unless it’s depleted, damaged or not functioning properly we are often happily ignorant and dismissive of its complexities. We take it for granted. Once it’s been holding you together and protecting you for more than a few decades though, you start to notice it’s physiology. Other than sun and environmental exposure the number one damage contributor I witness is dehydration. P...rolonged, decades spanning, dehydration. It’s such a simple remedy using a body cream or oil or cleansing your long limbs with a milk instead of a surfactant rich gel. Avoiding the removal of too much oils in the shower and replenishing with clean, fresh, new ones straight after lets your skin grow unhindered, less damaged, less stressed and the visible results of that you will love. Liver, Heart, Pancreas and Intestinal health are relied upon by what goes regularly into your mouth and so is your skin but it also relies on your willingness to protect it externally and regularly. The best time to start that habit was years ago......the second best time is today. #healthyskinforlife #naturalskinprotection #savantapothecary See more

04.01.2022 B3 and Hyaluronates complete an important long term plan for healthy clear skin when you are on Vit C and Vit A programs. Both are water soluble so a serum like this is not oily or weighted. B3 present for ongoing periods keeps skin fresh and more free of exposure related damage and imperfections. It has no feeling or sensation when applied and is suitable to wear everyday. It gives the same smooth just had a facial feeling as using Vit C does. Hyaluronates keep things wet... inside your body. They bathe cells and joints to keep them protected, hydrated and lubricated. In a serum that’s skin applied they hold water in the top layers of the skin greatly reducing its tendency to dry out. The effect you feel is a lovely smoothness you want to touch and a dewy soft look you see. This serum I make is worn under Luminous, Botanical or Resplendent. It’s particularly good under Resplendent by adding a Vitamin supplementation but it’s the hyaluronates that really shine as Resplendent creates such a terrific barrier for holding moisture in the skin. Enjoy See more

04.01.2022 Have you covered yourself in our Red Clay Body Scrub? Pushed it over your skin till it’s smooth stickiness rises up between your fingers? Became transfixed as your limbs one by one become earthed with a thick red creaminess? Red Clay Body Scrub always brings your attention right back to the moment you are in. No other thoughts of the day that was. Just for a while but long enough. Enjoy . #naturalbodyscrubs #savantapothecary #livewell #healthyskinforlife

03.01.2022 The black Body Wash Milk Emulsion. We’ve had quite a few asking for it to come back. Would you like me to do a limited edition? #milkbodywash #savantapothecary #healthyskinforlife

03.01.2022 A good day to be making big pots of hot Milk Cleanser. #naturalmilkcleansers #goodnaturalskincare #savantapothecary

03.01.2022 Sometimes a product is made with such strong intent that if you succeed in that intent then you truly have a great product. Milk Cleanser is one of those. Firstly, importantly it washes off very very well. Secondly it cleanses very well. Thirdly......well it feels and smells absolutely unforgettable. All of these with intent. Not an accident, deliberate, edible, healthy, clean, good for the environment. Nothing less. Enjoy our efforts. #naturalcleansers #savantapothecary #healthyskinforlife

02.01.2022 Can you smell us today? It’s Ginger and Lemons, Yarrow and Rose. Some of what we made today is to wash you and some is to soothe, lull and nourish you. Have a great weekend

02.01.2022 Back into having oily hands and straight labels today. Over the weekend I donned a wetsuit and attempted surfing for the first time . I spent a lot of time tumbling under the water and feeling like I had no control whatsoever. Had waves smacking me and pushing me back. Had to come in to shore on occasion because my arms had nothing left to give for paddling . As frustrating as it was I loved it when you caught a wave in, it made you yell Ohhhhhh Yeah!!!!. Mind you I’m sti...ll body boarding level as I’m yet to stand up . Thank goodness for good wetsuits that really do work. There’s no way I’d be getting in the cold ocean in August otherwise. Cheers Sanbah Surf for having the quality goods there. We made Deodorant today and HydraLac as well as Rose & Orange Toner. Tomorrow is MORE Body Oil - seriously guys stop telling people you love it ok We need to make soap but I doubt it will be tomorrow. Enjoy your evening everyone Kylie See more

01.01.2022 Cool wash downs
