ABOUT US

Our botanical ingredients are ethically sourced and crafted with love in Australia, delivering transformative results for your skin.

BEYOND LUXURY

At Shanga, we believe that caring for the health and wellness of your skin is not a luxury, it's a necessity.

Looking after your skin should be a habit- a ritual you perform each day just like cleaning your teeth. As luxury beauty brands flood the market, we look to results-driven ingredients; botanical extracts combined with vitamins, peptides, omega rich oils... all artfully blended to provide the skin with what it needs for optimum health.

For over 35 years, our founder and professional skin therapist, Joanne Nicholls, has honed her craft to bring us customised professional treatments paired with botanically based, results-driven products.

RESULTS

Cutting edge concentrates sourced from pure botanical ingredients are formulated using traditional artisan crafting techniques to ensure each product is lovingly hand crafted fresh to maximise the nutrient rich ingredients for ultimate product efficacy.

Years of dedicated research and development has culminated in the Shanga line of corrective and regenerative wellness cosmeceuticals.

From the very first active ingredient the products reflects green science, creativity, transparency, purity and superiority in formulation. Joanne’s vision was to capture the therapeutic properties of clinic grade essential oils, potent vitamins and rejuvenating antioxidants in a high performance botanical collection.

Each product proactively protects and nourishes the skin while delivering remedial healing benefits to combat the signs of premature skin damage. Formulations are thoughtfully imagined considering texture, aroma and the ritual of self-care to create a results-driven skin ceremony layered in decadence.

Joanne continues to work closely with her clients and Spa owners to offer the premium, results driven treatments SHANGA is known for.

ETHOS

From day one as a salon owner, Joanne was adamant to not use products containing harmful ingredients, i.e. mineral oil, SLS, artificial fragrances and colours, or other ingredients shown to lead to sensitised skin.

Although many of the brands she used were good, they were either using good-for-you ingredients that didn't give the results, or chemical laden ingredients that gave initial good results but had ingredients that Joanne was not comfortable using long term on her clients. From here, Joanne created SHANGA...

🌿 SHANGA Clean Standard

SHANGA is formulated to meet a modern standard of clean, high-performance skincare—where ingredient safety, transparency, and efficacy work together without compromise.

Our formulations are developed with a strict focus on skin compatibility, ingredient integrity, and long-term skin health, using globally compliant cosmetic ingredients and advanced dermo-cosmetic science.

✨ Our Clean Formulation Commitment

We formulate without ingredients commonly associated with unnecessary skin irritation or environmental concern, including:

Parabens
Formaldehyde-releasing preservatives
Phthalates
Hydroquinone
Coal tar derivatives
Triclosan and triclocarban
Benzophenone-based UV filters
Mineral oil and petroleum-derived occlusives
Harsh sulphates such as SLS and SLES
Animal-derived fats and musks

We also avoid the use of undisclosed synthetic fragrance blends, instead favouring transparent essential oil and botanical aromatic systems where fragrance is present.

🌱 What We Formulate With

Our products are built on a foundation of:

Clinically recognised actives (niacinamide, peptides, retinoids, vitamin C derivatives)
Barrier-supporting ingredients (ceramides, hyaluronic acid, beta-glucan, ectoin)
Plant-derived oils, extracts, and antioxidants
Skin microbiome–supportive technologies
Modern, globally approved cosmetic stabilisers and emulsifiers
Carefully selected essential oils for sensorial experience

Every ingredient is chosen for function, safety profile, and skin benefit—never filler.

💎 Our Clean Beauty Philosophy

SHANGA follows a “performance-led clean” philosophy, meaning:

Clean does not mean minimal—it means purposeful
Natural does not automatically mean safe or effective
Science and botanicals are combined for measurable skin results
Every formula is designed to support skin barrier health and visible improvement over time

We prioritise skin physiology over trends, creating formulas that are both intelligent and sensorial.

🧴 Transparency Standard

We believe in clear, accessible ingredient disclosure and responsible formulation practices. Every SHANGA product is developed with traceable ingredient selection and compliance with EU, UK, and Australian cosmetic safety standards.

🌿 The Result

SHANGA represents a new generation of clean beauty:

clinically informed, botanically enriched, and consciously formulated for real skin transformation

A balance of luxury sensorial experience + high-performance actives + clean formulation integrity—without compromise.
