About us
The seed of Bayse was planted in early 2001. After many years of frustration trying to find the right products for sensitive skin, the founder of Bayse, Lisa McGann, decided to develop her own skin care formulations for personal use. “Every time I shopped for skin care products it was a chore having to pay extra attention to read what’s really in the bottle and make sure it is free from irritating synthetic chemicals. Let alone trying to ensure the product maker wasn’t testing on animals.”
Having discovered that many of the natural alternatives were either not good enough or simply too expensive for every day use, Lisa began the journey to create a range of effective and natural products that can be used daily and are ethically sourced and manufactured.
Seeing a noticeable improvement in the health and appearance of her skin and after receiving numerous positive responses from her clients and friends who have tried her formulations, in 2002 she decided to refine and produce a more affordable botanical skin care range. After two years of research and development, Bayse sprouted into life and Lisa has not looked back. The name Bayse came about from being conceived and nurtured in a Bayside suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia and all products are botanically-based.
Our philosophy
“We love the fact that people are waking up to the empty promises and cruel practices hiding behind big advertising campaigns and flashy packaging. We are proud of our certified cruelty-free practices and insistence in making sure our raw materials are ethically sourced and organic where possible. Through education we hope consumers can appreciate that premium-priced products are not necessarily better for consumers, the environment or our fellow creatures. We do not spend millions in advertising to make people believe a story. Instead our business grows through word of mouth and our endeavour to make genuinely good products affordable.”
