Our Story
Living Armour Organics began in my kitchen — not as a business, but as a quiet shift into a life with less of what's not serving my family & myself.
After my mum passed away, I found myself looking closely at everything I was putting in and on my body. That’s when I stumbled into the world of endocrine disruptors, synthetic fragrances, and the overwhelming ingredient lists that fill modern skincare shelves.
It felt like too much.
Too many chemicals. Too many promises. Too little care.
So I started making things myself — beginning with a simple balm made from grass-fed tallow. I didn’t have a big plan at the time, just a growing desire to simplify, protect, and nourish. Especially as a mum raising little ones, I wanted to know that what I was using on their skin was doing more good than harm.
That one imperfect balm became the beginning of Living Armour Organics.
Why Tallow?There’s something incredibly grounding about returning to ingredients our ancestors trusted. Grass-fed tallow is deeply compatible with human skin — rich in fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K, and B12) that repair, strengthen, and support the skin’s natural barrier. It mimics the structure of our own sebum, which means it absorbs beautifully, without clogging pores or irritating sensitive skin.
It doesn’t try to override or fix your skin. It works with it — restoring what’s already there.
Made by Hand, from the HeartEvery balm I make is crafted in small batches right here in the Dandenong Ranges. I use only organic, food-grade ingredients: locally sourced tallow, cold-pressed macadamia oil, whole flower, and essential oils where needed — always with intention.
We work slowly. Oils are gently infused over 24 hours using a low-and-slow method to preserve the delicate properties of the botanicals. Every jar is poured, labelled, and sealed by hand — not because it’s trendy, but because care takes time. Because skincare should feel like care, not compromise.
There are no harsh preservatives, no synthetic fragrances, and no filler ingredients. Just whole, recognisable elements that your skin can trust — and your body can safely absorb.
For Skin That Needs Extra CareLiving Armour Organics is for anyone who has ever felt let down by “natural” skincare. It’s for the sensitive, the inflamed, the dry, the postpartum, the hormonal, the overwhelmed. It’s for babies. For men. For mamas. For skin that simply needs to feel balanced and supported.
This isn’t a brand built on hype or perfection. It’s a homegrown offering — one rooted in nourishment, safety, and sincerity.
A Little More About MeI don’t have a background in cosmetic science or clinical aromatherapy. What I do have is a quiet obsession with learning, a love for wholefood living, and a deep desire to make things I would trust on my own children’s skin.
Much of that comes from my Italian grandparents. They came from small mountain villages — people of the land who worked hard, lived simply, and never let anything go to waste. When they processed a cow or pig, they used every part: meat for the table, bones for broth, tallow & lard for cooking, soap, and salves. Nothing was discarded, and everything was done with care. They carried the wisdom of generations before them — living with gratitude, humility, and grace in ways that still guide me today.
Living Armour Organics is how I stay home with my children. It’s how I honour those who came before me, and stay tethered to what matters. This work is slow, purposeful, and full of love — just like it was in the beginning.
Thank you for being here.
For choosing simplicity.
And for trusting me with something as tender as your skin.
