Mantra Bee is a Brisbane-based, female-owned, natural skincare and personal care brand with a big heart and a tiny environmental footprint. We handcraft our products using safe, effective ingredients designed to support your wellness journey — and tread gently on the planet.

Yes — the majority of our products are made in Brisbane, Australia using ingredients and packaging sourced both locally and internationally. We proudly support Australian suppliers wherever possible.

The name Mantra Bee brings together two powerful parts of our story. “Mantra” reflects the importance of intention — small, powerful affirmations that ground us in purpose and self-care. It’s a nod to mindfulness, healing, and the inner work that inspires outer change. “Bee” honours both nature and the roots of our business. My very first product — the one I shared with friends and family back in 2009 — was a simple, nourishing beeswax lip balm. That little balm sparked everything that followed.

Bees also symbolize community, sustainability, and the power of small actions — just like our mission. Together, Mantra Bee represents mindful living, conscious creation, and products made with love for both people and the planet.

✨ From a single balm to a buzzing hive — that’s the heart of Mantra Bee.

Mantra Bee is a family-run business, founded and owned by me, Nicole — a passionate natural formulator, yoga teacher, and advocate for mindful living.What began with a beeswax lip balm made in my kitchen has grown into a heartfelt mission: to offer safe, sustainable self-care that honours both body and planet.

My husband Travis is our chief product tester — and our unofficial Head of Honest Feedback. (You’ll even find our playful “Husband Tested” stamp on some products instead of the usual “not tested on animals.”) But more than that, he inspires me to push further, dream bigger, and speak up — even when it scares me. His steady support and belief in this mission have helped shape every step of Mantra Bee.

Our daughter Aubrey is my greatest inspiration — the reason I’m so driven to create a world where self-care and sustainability go hand in hand. She helps out at markets and brings her own creative spirit to the hive. More importantly, she reminds me why this work matters — to guide the next generation to live in harmony with nature.

✨ We’re not a corporation. We’re a family with a mission — to nurture your skin, your wellbeing, and the planet we all share.

Yes! Every balm, oil, soap, and serum is blended and poured by hand in our Brisbane studio. It’s slower, yes — but it means we can ensure quality, freshness, and that everything meets our standards before it reaches your hands (or your face).
