Our Story

Not only do we create Australia’s best certified organic and naturopathically formulated skin care, but through the use of ingredients which are not harmful to the environment, sustainable packaging and conscious manufacturing we help reduce the impact on the environment our skin care routines have every day.

The journey to luxury organic skin care

The inspiration for the first product I ever made for someone else was my Dad, who was receiving radiation treatment for throat cancer. I wanted him to have a balm that was going to soothe his dermatitis, heal damaged skin, and provide a natural barrier. It worked so well that even the oncology nurses were commenting on how amazing his skin was compared to other patients on the ward.

As a degree qualified naturopath, I’ve always been passionate about natural but effective ways to help people improve their health. I started my career in complementary medicine research, before running a naturopathic clinic, where I used nutrition, supplements, herbal medicine and lifestyle changes to remedy people’s health issues.

In my clinic, I started noticing that many of my clients had skincare concerns. For some it was ageing skin, for others, sensitivity, acne, eczema or rosacea. I too had skin challenges, having experienced acne in my teens, scarring in my twenties and signs of ageing in my thirties. However, my clients and I were faced with a lack of skincare products on the market that were gentle and made from natural, organic ingredients but still able to deliver powerful results and the luxurious experience of conventional high-end skincare. So, I decided to develop my own, and Clémence Organics was born.

I started experimenting with blends, and noticed a real change in my skin. As word of mouth grew, clients came to me requesting individualised skincare formulations. A trip to southern France in 2015 cemented my resolve. I visited several well-known natural skincare companies, and realised that I offered something unique for those with an appreciation for luxury, authentic organic skincare, that truly alleviated their skincare concerns.

BRIDGET CARMADY - NATUROPATH & FOUNDER

A fortified resolve

After my father’s passing in 2009 my sister also tragically passed away from cancer in 2016. Their stories fortified in me a passion for nurturing health and reducing cancer risk wherever possible. The role that skincare plays in health may seem small and insignificant for some, but when the body absorbs around 80% of what we put on it, I don’t feel we can take it too lightly. I know for me, having full confidence in what I put on my skin (and therefore in my body) makes me feel that I have at least taken control of that aspect of my health.

About Bridget

A family standing in front of a house, with a dog sitting in front of the four people.

Bridget is a university educated Naturopath (BNat, BHsc Hons) who began her career in complementary medicine research at the National Institute of Complementary Medicine (Western Sydney University). Here she contributed to the research, development and conducting of clinical trials, and has 8 journal publications to her name. She also began writing for various health magazines on topics related to naturopathy and skincare.

In 2011 Bridget branched out into private practice in the Blue Mountains where she began to attract clients who had skin concerns. She developed protocols for addressing a wide variety of skin concerns (see Skin Protocols). However, she felt her clients were faced with a lack of skincare products that were gentle and made from organic ingredients but still able to deliver powerful results (as well as being super luxurious). So based on traditional herbs and the latest research she decided to develop her own. After years of perfecting her formulations, Clémence Organics was born.
