We recently celebrated a special milestone: over 20 years of Saya Skincare. Two decades of refining our craft, growing a loyal community, and staying true to what matters - skincare that works, without the overwhelm.
Founded by Saya McDermott and inspired by the natural beauty of Noosa, Saya began as a deeply personal journey. It was born from a need for skincare that was both gentle and effective, made from ingredients that supported the skin rather than masking it. Since then, Saya has grown into a globally loved natural skincare brand, recognised for our grounded approach to beauty and commitment to quality.
Whether you're discovering us for the first time or looking to reconnect with the roots of your skincare ritual, this is where it all begins.
Our Story and Values
From the very beginning, our approach has been guided by three principles: efficacy, purity, and intention.
We believe skincare doesn’t need to be complicated to be effective. Our formulations are built around multi-correctional, botanical ingredients that nourish and protect the skin barrier. Everything is crafted in Australia using the highest quality native actives - from Kakadu Plum to Quandong, Desert Lime to Australian Pink Clay.
We’re proud to be cruelty-free, free from synthetics and unnecessary fillers, and always designed with the environment in mind. Our packaging is minimal and recyclable, and our ethos is grounded in conscious consumption - products that are truly needed, not just newness for the sake of it.

Our Most-Loved Products
If you’re not sure where to start, these six core products capture everything we stand for: minimal, purposeful, multi-correctional skincare that fits effortlessly into your daily life.
Cleansing Gel
A gentle gel cleanser that deeply cleans without stripping. With Aloe Vera, Kakadu Plum and Marshmallow, it’s the perfect everyday reset – balancing, refreshing and kind to all skin types.
Rose Hydrating Mist
This lightweight botanical mist delivers instant hydration and a natural glow. With Rose Water and Hyaluronic Acid, it preps your skin for serums, soothes post-cleansing, and acts as a mid-day refresh.
Intense Night Repair
One of our bestsellers for a reason. This night cream works while you sleep, restoring hydration and supporting skin renewal with ingredients like Bakuchiol (a natural retinol alternative), Hyaluronic Acid, and Australian native botanicals.
Body Wash
An elevated everyday essential. Infused with Aloe Vera and a warm essential oil blend of Desert Lime, our gentle formula cleanses without drying and leaves skin lightly scented and soft.
Eye Cream
Enriched with Cucumber and Pomegranate Extracts, it specifically targets puffiness and dark circles, leaving the eye area refreshed and bright. Shea Butter and Avocado Oil provide deep hydration and protection, ensuring your skin feels smooth, firm, and rejuvenated.
Rich Body Cream
Deeply hydrating, but never heavy. This buttery cream features Shea Butter and native extracts to soften and nourish skin all over. It’s the final step in your ritual that leaves you feeling smooth and moisturised all day long.
Create Your Own Saya Ritual
At Saya, we don’t believe in overcomplicating things. Our products are designed to be layered simply and used both morning and night depending on your skin’s needs. There’s no ten-step routine required - just skin-loving ingredients and intuitive rituals that fit into real life.
