OUR STORY
In 2003
It was our Passion to live a eco-sustainable life, it than became our purpose to create a eco-sustainable income.
Hi my name is Kay Saarinen and i am the founder of Saarinen Organics - Eco seed to skin and Beyoo.
Together with my husband Gregg, we embarked on an extraordinary journey.
With only a caravan as our home, a couple of truck batteries for power, we ventured into the mountains of the far south coast in Wyndham, NSW.
Inspired by permaculture principles, we designed our property and home, becoming certified organic in the process.
Initially, we focused on growing certified organic vegetables while constructing our strawbale home.
However, our innovative approach was ahead of its time, and the concept of certified organic veggies was not well understood.
Undeterred, we shifted our attention to cultivating medicinal herbs, igniting the spark of our journey towards eco-sustainable skincare.
Immersing myself in extensive studies, equipping myself with invaluable knowledge of formulating, manufacturing & natural stabilisation and a fire in my belly to create a true sustainable product with no green washing.
Our daughter Gemma was born with eczema, fortunatly i was studying topical natropathy at the time - amazing how things work out, and this led me on my skin care journey.
Each product is carefully handcrafted using certified organic herbs that i either ferment in applecider vinegar or infuse in rain water we catch. grown on our permaculture farm. Embracing regenerative farming methods and powered entirely by our 100% stand-alone solar energy system, our skincare products embody the essence of sustainable living in every aspect.
We recently launched our big dream of equipping our solar powered lab with a hospital grade auto clave so we now can reuse our returned packaging.
We have ticked so many of our boxes though we are not finished yet.
