Our Philosophy
Formulated from what the land offers, nothing more.
Bush & Salt
Est. Australia
Botanical Skincare
The Land Decides
Every formula begins with what the Australian landscape offers — Wattleseed, desert salt, Lemon Myrtle. These are not trends. They are ingredients with tens of thousands of years of ecological record. We do not substitute convenience for provenance.
Nothing Surplus
Our formulation method is subtractive. We remove the unnecessary until only the essential remains. If an ingredient cannot justify its presence by function, it has no place in the jar.
Made with Restraint
No synthetic fragrance. No fillers. No ingredients added to make the label look longer. Restraint is not a constraint — it is the most deliberate choice we make, and the one we are most proud of.

The Method
The Three-Step Ritual
Exfoliate. Soak. Restore. Not a routine — a practised sequence, designed for weekly use and the twenty minutes that follow a long day.

Step 01 — Exfoliate
Prepare the Skin
Apply a generous amount of body scrub to damp skin — not soaking wet. Work in firm, circular motions from ankle to shoulder. The salt and native seed exfoliate; the Macadamia Oil conditions. Allow 60 seconds before rinsing. No moisturiser needed after.
SHOP BODY SCRUBS
Step 02 — Soak
Immerse
Pour 3–4 tablespoons beneath the running tap. Wait for the bath to fill, then allow 2–3 minutes before entering — the water will carry a slight mineral haze and a distinct botanical aroma. Immerse for a minimum of 20 minutes. Resist the urge to hurry. Pat dry — do not rinse.
SHOP BATH SOAKS
Step 03 — Restore
Carry the Ritual
While the skin is still warm, add 5–7 drops of pure essential oil to a cold-mist diffuser. Or dilute 2–3 drops in a teaspoon of Macadamia Oil and press into skin. The aroma that follows a good bath is part of the ritual — not an afterthought.

Why this exists.
Bush & Salt began through hands-on work — not in a lab, but in a treatment room.
As a physiotherapist and remedial massage therapist, I was constantly looking for ways to extend the care my clients received beyond the session. Something simple they could take home — a ritual that continued to ease tension, calm the body, and support recovery.
I often recommended magnesium soaks, combined with essential oils. But over time, I realised something deeper — Australia holds an extraordinary range of native botanicals and oils, many of which have been understood and used for tens of thousands of years. Knowledge that, in many ways, we have overlooked.
That realisation became the foundation of Bush & Salt.
The first formula I created was what is now our Renewal Body Scrub. It was made for a client needing physical and mental reset. After using it, he called to say how noticeably refreshed and restored he felt — lighter, clearer, and more at ease in his body.
That response is the reason this brand exists.
Every formula is still developed with that same intention — to create simple, effective rituals that support the body beyond the treatment room. Each product is made by hand in Canberra, in small batches, with a focus on function, quality, and respect for the ingredients we use.
We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of Country throughout Australia, and recognise their continuing connection to land, waters, and community. We pay our respect to Elders past and present, and acknowledge the knowledge systems that have long understood the value of native botanicals.
