“I trained as a makeup artist, which meant I spent years thinking about skin first, the prep, the texture, what it needed before anything else went on. Then my own skin stopped cooperating. Rosacea, acne, and eczema, all around the same time, during one of the busiest stretches of my working life.

I started making my own products, simple, gentle, multi-use. Essential oils were part of the formulas early on, but only for how they smelled. It wasn’t until I began researching aromatherapy properly that things shifted: how specific oils actually affect mood, not just scent, and how that could be used with real intention rather than as an afterthought.

As life became busier, those few minutes spent caring for myself became more precious than ever. Becoming a mum only reinforced that. I didn’t have hours to dedicate to self-care, but I realised I didn’t need them, even a few minutes could change how I felt.

At the same time, I couldn’t find products that truly brought together effective skincare and aromatherapy that meant something. I wanted formulas that cared for my skin just as much as they cared for how it felt to use them.

That’s when Ametrine became what it is now: skincare and aromatherapy, developed with equal seriousness one for what it does for your skin, the other for how it’s meant to make you feel.”
