Melanie StIles - Director
Formulating is Mel’s passion and she is in charge of production and product development. Qualified in anatomy & physiology and massage therapies, she has a solid understanding of the integumentary system and is constantly researching new natural and effective ingredients for her formulations.
Clean, fresh, natural plant oils and butters are combined with care to hydrate and support the skin – Mel’s inspiration comes from the power of nature and understanding the balance and harmony of good combinations.

Having worked in education in science for the past 16 years, Sarah is truly passionate about the environment and loves working with Scence as it is a brand she believes in.
Sarah helps to look after your order along with supporting Krista in the daily running of the business and Mel in production.
