The Indagare Story
Indagare Natural Beauty is a range of nutrient-rich organic skincare, body care and hair care products made in Australia. Harnessing the power of some of the most luxurious and effective natural botanical oils in the world to hydrate and nourish your skin, hair, mind and soul.
We believe that skincare transcends skin health; it’s an act of self-care that allows us to confidently celebrate our unique beauty journeys at every stage of life.
Indagare Natural Beauty was born from frustration.
Frustration with the congested, hormonal skin that our founder had been trying to fix for more than two decades, but that no products, medication or beauty treatments seemed to be able to help.
Frustration at signs of ageing – we love the honour of getting older, but want our skin to retain a youthful vibrancy, plumpness and glow of health.
And frustration with the effects of modern-day, unsustainable living practices – on our bodies and the world at large.
Our Origins
Around the time our CEO, Cath Langman, turned 40, she started to notice some changes with her skin – redness and pigmentation mainly, but also dry and flaky despite her skin actually being quite oily. It was like her skin suddenly became quite sensitised to everything.
She recalls feeling sick of looking like she had a nasty, peeling sunburn despite not having been in the sun at all. And even worse, her skin also started breaking out — an ugly affliction she thought she’d beaten as a teenager! Not to mention, the fine lines becoming more prominent around the eyes — she looked tired even when she wasn’t.
And although everyone is different, many women experiencing perimenopause (the few years before menopause) notice similar skin conditions — triggered by the changes in hormones. When it comes to our skin, visible signs may include increased dryness, sensitivity, and elasticity loss. Basically, skin is less resilient than in our 20s (if only we appreciate how good we have it in our youth…!!!)
Something had to change. But she didn’t want to go down the route of invasive treatments.
So suddenly, she was looking for skincare products to treat both acne AND signs of aging!
At the time, Cath was also seeing her Naturopath, who suggested she try detoxing her skincare and makeup cabinet. It’s actually amazing how many chemicals we put on our skin without really realising it!
Things like Parabens, Phenoxy-ethanol and Phthalates can mess with your hormones (not a great idea when one’s hormones are already a hot mess!). And synthetic fragrances and sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS) can also be very irritating.
Results-Driven Skincare
Throughout endless research and hundreds of formulation trials (taking up to 12 months for every individual product), it was botanicals and oils that captured our hearts. The results they delivered couldn't be denied.
And it wasn't just us who felt this way: our customers all report the same extraordinary results.
Indagare ('IN-da-GAR-ray'), meaning ‘to investigate' or 'explore' in Latin, was the perfect choice for our business name. Our scientifically backed natural, certified organic, vegan, and cruelty-free ingredients that are gentle on both your skin and the planet.
Now, our results-driven skincare, body and hair products all harness the power of botanical ingredients. We prioritise quality by using the best-quality raw ingredients on the planet, our facial oils are so potent that you can actually use less product and enjoy visible results, and a simplified routine.
We never use questionable ingredients that many of us react to (and that don’t necessarily add effectiveness), like parabens, sulphates, phthalates, and synthetic fragrances.
For Every Skin, Every Body, Every Age
Our mission for Indagare Natural Beauty is to celebrate your natural beauty at every age whilst empowering you to make conscious choices for your own wellbeing as well as that of our planet.
We believe that skincare transcends skin health: it’s an act of self-care, a beautiful ritual that can lift your mood and enrich your soul as well as your skin.
Beauty is diverse. It is not defined by age, culture, gender or societal standards. Instead, beauty is confidence and authenticity.
Indagare’s products are meticulously formulated to pay tribute to your individual beauty journey, empowering you to embrace your unique skin and confidently welcome the natural ageing process with grace.
Transparency
We will always be transparent with everything we do, because we’re committed to empowering our customers with the information to make informed decisions about their beauty.
For example, we will never label a synthetic product as 'natural' as we believe this is misleading.
We formulate and manufacture all our products in our own facility in Adelaide, SA, allowing us complete control over the production process.
We only use ingredients sourced in the best possible way: we work with fair-trade family cooperatives in Morocco for several of our key ingredients to ensure people are paid fairly for the work they do.
Our Dream For You
With Indagare, we aim to realise the dream of reducing our daily exposure to unnecessary toxins, becoming a more conscious consumer, and getting closer to nature.
If these values speak to you, I hope you'll give our natural, ethical and luxe self-care products a try.
Wishing you good health and glowing skin!
