Who we are

Subtle Energies creates results-based aromatherapy, natural skincare and wellness solutions founded on authentic Ayurveda principles — addressing skin and body concerns while delivering high-performance results. Founded in 1993 by Farida Irani as a clinic of natural therapies, that clinical heritage underpins our formulation and development to this day.

All products are made in Australia following European standards of natural skincare — COSMOS Natural certified, Cruelty Free International accredited, and free from parabens, mineral oils, silicones, and artificial fragrances. Our range reaches luxury hotel spas in over 25 countries: Six Senses, Mandarin Oriental, The Peninsula, Crown, Four Seasons, Raffles, and One&Only among them.

We're a small, close team. Quality isn't a policy here — it's the foundation of everything we do.
