The Beauty Chef

We believe beauty begins in the belly. The Beauty Chef collection, founded by author and naturalist, Carla Oates, is an organic offering of beauty and wellness products that promote a holistic approach to attaining healthy, radiant skin and good gut health. Our range of living beauty products are derived from nature and supported by science using bio-fermented, whole food nutrition and pre and probiotics, to help you achieve healthy, glowing skin from the inside, out.  From seed, to harvest to bio-fermentation, The Beauty Chef uses Certified Organic ingredients supercharged by natural biological practices, for skincare that is pure and potent.  Embracing the time-honoured art of fermentation for the clever way that it naturally bio-activates nutrients in ingredients to make them more available for the body and skin to use, and increasing the biological value of already nutrient-rich organic ingredients, our unique and natural fermentation process called Flora Culture, backed by 20 years of research, supercharges ingredients and encourages the proliferation of good gut bacteria, which helps to boost the skin's ecosystem. The range uses a synergistic blend of both active and efficacious ingredients, supported by science, to ensure that your skin is cared for from the inside, out. "I believe that beauty is an inside-out process. Glowing skin is basically a reflection of healthy cells and the solution to a clearer, more radiant complexion and general wellbeing occurs when you balance your gut and feed your body nutrient-dense food. I know it doesn't sound very glamorous, but the gut is where the seeds for health and beauty are planted." - Carla Oates
