Meet Our Founder

Welcome to Opalore, a health and wellness skincare brand which was inspired by the medical insights gained when I was undergoing preventative cancer therapy. We all know someone whose life has been touched with this diagnosis, so I wanted to share my story as it is as personal to me as it is to you.

Many of us go through low points physically and emotionally where we don’t quite look or feel our best. Chemotherapy certainly tested me. Riddled with toxins, my immune system and microbiome were severely compromised leaving me dangerously close to the edge. I lacked energy, vitality and my whole face became blistered, raw and unable to cope with even the most basic routine. Not only did this profoundly affect my self-confidence, it heavily impacted every decision and move I made.

Healing is a complex process deeply involving the intricate pathway between our immune cells and microbiome. Together they work in unison connecting the gut-brain axis, but also support the anti-inflammatory response in our skin (our third axis) to accelerate healing and cell renewal.

My oncologist recommended a well-balanced diet that incorporated prebiotics, probiotics and postbiotics to try and boost my inner health, but they could not recommend this same protocol for my skin care routine because it just didn’t exist in beauty. This really was the impetus for Opalore and this idea of looking healthier, feeling better is the centre of our world.

Based on scientifically backed pre and postbiotics, I founded Opalore on the cornerstone that efficacy, authenticity and transparency would be the pillars of our evolution. In creating these products, my wish is that you enjoy every moment in discovering beauty in balance, connecting the dots between the gut-brain-skin axis and empowering a healthier, more luminous version of you to shine through.
