our story

It started with family

Mia Belle (“my beauty”) was born from love, inspired by my daughter, Mia Isabelle, and a desire to create something authentic, nurturing, and beautiful.

As a wife, mother, and maker, I pour care into every small batch, blending the finest plant-based and organic ingredients in slow, intentional production. Each product is crafted as a little moment of sanctuary, designed to bring balance and beauty to everyday rituals.

The Beginning of Mia Belle

My journey began when our eldest developed severe allergies -  to nuts, eggs, synthetic fragrance, and other everyday triggers.

 

It led me to rethink everything we used at home, from food to skincare.

 

Out of necessity came creativity. I began formulating our own gentle, plant-based products that were safe, pure, and kind to both skin and the environment.

 

That passion grew into what is now Mia Belle: small-batch, mindful creations made with care and intention.

crafting with intention

My love for natural formulation led me to complete a Diploma in Personal Care Formulation through the Institute of Personal Care Science in Australia, an internationally recognised qualification in cosmetic chemistry.

I wanted to create skincare and haircare that felt beautiful to use, kind to the skin, and gentle on the environment. Every Mia Belle product is carefully crafted in small batches, using high-quality plant-based ingredients chosen for their safety, purity, and effectiveness, products I love and trust for myself and my family.
