What's in it & WHY

🌽 Zea Mays (Corn) Starch

Helps absorb excess oil while supporting a gentle, comfortable cleanse without leaving skin feeling stripped. Included to give the powder cleanser its soft, silky feel, it helps skin feel fresh and balanced after cleansing, making it well suited to sensitive skin that prefers a clean, matte looking finish without dryness or heaviness.

🪨 Kaolin (Clay)

Helps gently cleanse the skin and absorb excess oil while supporting a clean, balanced feel. Known for its soft, non-abrasive nature, this mild clay helps refine the look of skin without over drying or discomfort, making it well suited to sensitive skin that prefers a thorough cleanse without the drama

🧼 Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate

Is a gentle, sulfate-free cleansing agent that helps lift away dirt and oil while leaving skin feeling clean and comfortable, not tight. Derived from coconut, it creates a soft, creamy lather that cleanses effectively while remaining kind to sensitive skin and supportive of overall skin comfort, think clean, not squeaky.

🌿 Xanthan Gum

Is a natural thickener and stabiliser that helps maintain the consistency of the formula and improve texture. It ensures the cleanser mixes smoothly with water for an even, comfortable application without clumping, supporting a gentle cleansing experience that feels kind to the skin.

💧 Glycerin

Is a humectant that helps attract moisture to the skin’s surface, supporting hydration during cleansing. Included to help maintain skin comfort, it ensures skin feels clean and refreshed without that tight, dry feeling often left behind by harsher cleansers.

🌼 Calendula Officinalis Extract

Is valued for its gentle properties and helps support skin comfort during cleansing. Commonly used in formulas designed for sensitive skin, it contributes to a calm, balanced skin feel, helping the complexion feel comfortable and cared for throughout the cleanse.

🌰 Jojoba Seed Oil (Simmondsia Chinensis)

Helps soften and condition the skin while supporting moisture balance during cleansing. Light and skin comfortable, it adds a gentle conditioning touch to the formula, helping skin feel clean, calm, and comfortable without heaviness.

🛡 Tocopherol (Vitamin E)

Provides antioxidant properties that help protect the formula from oxidation while supporting skin comfort during cleansing. Included to help maintain the stability and freshness of the cleanser over time, it also contributes to skin that feels calm, conditioned, and comfortable after use.

You Ask, We Skin-cerely Answer

Click to expand the answers to your most glow-pressing questions

Skincare can be confusing, but it doesn’t have to be. We’ve answered the most common questions we get (with zero marketing spin) to help you shop smarter and skin better.

Q: Why does my Sweet dreams oil look a different colour?

Our Rosehip oil is a RAW Cold pressed botanical ingredient. As with all natural plant oils, slight variations in colour and texture can occur between batches. These variations are normal and do not affect the quality, performance , or formulation of the product.

The formula has not changed, and all batches meet the same quality specifications.

Q: What makes Emily Luise Skin different?

A: We’re founded by a cosmetic chemist who actually formulates the products. Everything is designed with sensitive, reactive skin in mind, no fluff, no filler, just thoughtful, results driven formulas.

Q: What does it mean to be “minimal ingredients”?

A: It means we only include what your skin actually needs, nothing extra, nothing unnecessary. Fewer ingredients can help reduce the risk of irritation and support a calmer, more balanced skin barrier.

Q: Why is the skin barrier important?

A: Your skin barrier is your face’s personal bodyguard. If it’s compromised, everything from redness to breakouts gets worse. Our products are designed to protect and strengthen it, so your skin stays happy, healthy, and glow-ready.

Q: What should I expect this brand to do for me?

A: Most people notice more even toned, glowier skin when and less irritation or flare ups. Our formulas are designed to support your barrier, so your skin can finally chill, heal, and do what it’s meant to. No false promises, just real results with consistent use.

Q: What does being hypoallergenic mean?

A: It means the product is formulated with the goal of being less likely to cause an allergic reaction. We prioritise minimal, purposeful ingredient lists and avoid common irritants wherever possible, especially for sensitive or reactive skin.

(But remember, nothing is 100% allergy-proof, not even your favourite oat milk.)

Some products contain naturally occurring botanical ingredients.

The Skin That Started It All

I was 33, fed up, and hiding behind makeup. Nothing worked, so I went deep on the science and made my own. Now in my late 30s, my skin’s never been better. Emily Luise Skin is proof that it’s never too late to fix your skin and finally feel good in it.

Shop My Routine

I started using Emily Luise’s Sweet Dreams Face Oil a few weeks ago, and I can honestly say it's the best decision I’ve made for my skin. I have always struggled with dull, uneven skin texture and occasional redness, but this oil has completely transformed my complexion. From the first application, it felt like a luxury spa treatment at home lightweight, non-greasy, and the delicate floral scent instantly calmed my senses.

Lauren T

I love how lightweight this face oil is! It absorbs quickly and leaves my skin feeling nourished and radiant, without any greasiness

Sophia K

I love how this skincare trio targets both my blemishes and signs of aging! My skin looks clearer, smoother, and more youthful than ever before

We are proud to be...

  • Sensitive skin & Vegan

    Test tubes > tears. Hypoallergenic by design. Every formula is designed to be kind to even the crankiest skin, no added fragrances, no nasties, no animal by-products. We patch-test, triple-check, and keep our INCI lists short so your skin stays calm, not chaotic. Science meets softness.

    * Some products contain naturally occurring botanical ingredients.

  • No Bunnies No Bullshit

    Animal testing is banned in Australia, and frankly, outdated across most of the world. So why do we still say cruelty-free? Because not everyone knows that. And until they do, we're shouting it loud and clear.

    We test only on willing humans (mostly ourselves) and formulate with ethics, not marketing fluff. Because being kind isn't a trend, it's the baseline.

  • Minimal Ingredients

    Fewer ingredients. Fewer reactions. More results. We choose each component like it’s going to a dinner party, only the most functional, well-mannered ingredients make the guest list. No fillers, no fluff, just straight-up efficacy with every pump.

  • Australian made

    Formulated, filled and loved right here in Australia. Our products are built for real skin, real climates, and real results, with a bit of Aussie grit and scientific wit thrown in. Homegrown and high-performing.

What ingredient do you think is underestimated the most?

Niacinamide works quietly over time to actually improve skin function—regulating oil, strengthening the barrier, reducing redness, and evening tone. But because it takes a few weeks to show, people give up before it shines.
