About Us

We group the active ingredients
around a specific function;
each lotion benefits a lifestyle
rather than a skin type.

Sharon Maree is the creator of Ancient Secrets and the designer of our unique and ecological skin care formulations. She has over 17 years of laboratory experience in environmental research, - including the extraction and analysis of plant bioactive compounds, specifically medicinal herbs & essential oils.

Sharon's parents moved to the Island during the harsh soldier settlement era and she has since called Kangaroo Island home. Her ambition is to provide a therapeutic and affordable range of natural skin care solutions, for the Kangaroo Island environment, using beneficial botanical plant extracts.

Each lotion is precisely hand made in our work shop. We sell direct to her customers to ensure your products are always fresh.
