I used to rely on soap, water, and whatever supermarket moisturiser I could find.
That all changed when I experienced a severe allergic reaction that left my face swollen beyond recognition.
I couldn’t see properly for days, and it sparked a deeper dive into the ingredients in everyday skincare.
What I discovered shocked me—some big brands were using the same harsh ingredients found in garage degreasers and brake fluid.
After failing to find any products I could trust, I decided to take matters into my own hands. I earned a diploma in organic skincare science and began formulating my own natural products.
And that’s how Merindah Botanicals was born—a skincare brand for busy women who want to feel confident in their skin without the worry of harsh chemicals.
My mission is simple: to help you take care of your skin with natural, effective products that fit effortlessly into your busy life.

Tea or Coffee: What powers your day?
Coffee - I'm addicted and nothing else gets me excited to get up. BUT I also love tea so for me it's coffee in the morning and herbal tea in the afternoon.
If you were stranded on a desert island and could only have three skincare ingredients with you, which would you choose and why?
Actually, I'd only need one - Rosehip oil for hydration and sun burn.
What's the most unusual hobby or interest you have that might surprise people?
I'm a die hard Sylvester Stallone fan. I've watched Rocky & Rambo so many times I should know the scripts by heart :-)
Early bird or night owl: When do you feel most creative or inspired?
Definitely early morning. I like to get things done when I'm up and relax when I'm done.
What's your go-to comfort food that never fails to make you feel good?
Spaghetti Bolognese, without a doubt. There’s something about a rich, flavorful sauce clinging to pasta that just hits the spot. I could eat it all day, every day! My husband always jokes that I love the sauce more than the pasta—and he might be right!
What is your favourite Merindah Botanicals product and why?
Oh that is tough, but the Invigorating Body Scrub has to be my favourite. The blend of scents is like a sensory journey that truly invigorates the spirit.
And - in my opinion - it's highly addictive! After each use, my skin feels unbelievably soft and silky, to the point where I can't help but touch it.
Go ahead and try it for yourself, I bet you'll love it as much as I do!
