Essential fatty acids: the most undervalued skin nutrient
Healthy skin starts with a strong barrier, made up of ceramides, cholesterol, and essential fatty acids. These lipids are the building blocks that protect against moisture loss, irritants, and environmental stressors.
Our organic cold-pressed botanical oils deliver these nutrients in their most biocompatible form, directly supporting your skin’s natural lipid matrix. Rich in EFAs, they help:
- Restore essential moisture
- Support barrier repair and suppleness
- Promote long-term skin integrity
While many modern formulations focus on actives or texture, we prioritise the foundations of a strong, resilient barrier. Our cold-pressed, bioavailable oils nourish essential lipids to help skin stay hydrated, balanced, and supple.
Working towards a sustainable future
Our commitment to the Wilderness Society
5% of sales from our Fig + Kakadu Plum White Tea Elixir supports the Wilderness Society in preserving Australia’s biodiversity, restoring native forests, and protecting endangered species such as the renowned Quokka and Black Cockatoo.

What makes us different
Our anhydrous blends (water-free) feature the highest quality, pure organic cold-pressed oils including Rosehip, Jojoba, Camellia, Argan and Sea buckthorn.
We carefully exclude ingredients with high-comedogenic potential or those linked to unsustainable sourcing, such as wheat germ oil, palm oil, GMO soybean oil, cottonseed oil, and tallow.
Our organic carrier oils used in our anhydrous blends are certified organic by Australian Certified Organic (ACO). While our final products are not ACO-certified, we carefully select organic ingredients wherever possible.
Cold-pressed, organic oils
Cold-pressed, organic oils are nature’s purest gift, rich in essential fatty acids, vitamins, and antioxidants. Our CO₂-extracted oils offer enhanced bioactive potency and purity, delivering superior skin benefits while supporting sustainable, eco-conscious practices.
Organic Rosehip oil
Cold-pressed Rosehip seed oil is rich in natural plant phenols, vitamins A, C & E, and antioxidants like tocopherols, flavonoids, beta-carotene, and lycopene. These bioactives help soothe irritation, reduce redness, and protect against free radicals, promoting brighter, healthier-looking skin.
Organic Argan oil
Cold-pressed organic Argan oil is rich in antioxidants, polyphenols, and essential fatty acids, notably oleic (omega-9) and linoleic acid (omega-6). These bioactives regulate sebum production, enhance skin barrier function, promote tissue repair, and improve hydration, supporting overall skin homeostasis and resilience.
Organic Camellia oil
Cold-pressed Camellia oil provides antioxidants, omegas, and vitamins that help protect against oxidative stress while supporting skin elasticity. Its skin-like lipid profile ensures fast absorption with minimal residue.

Testimonials
Since beginning Perception Skin, I have definitely noticed an inner glow that radiates, rather than a surface shine.
The Night Oil leaves my face soft, hydrated and radiant by morning. I’m so grateful for finding these products because they are natural, Australian made and reasonably priced.
I feel they display great quality in every aspect of their creation.

Testimonials
I recently tried the Cleanser and the Shea Moisturiser. I absolutely loved using these products. My skin already feels much softer and revitalised. I love that the moisturiser quickly absorbs, has lots of natural ingredients and no nasties. Highly recommend and will definitely be repurchasing.
