Our Story
Hi, I’m Sujata, a wife, mom, and founder of Balm Boutique.
As a mum of 2 kids, I started this journey at 32 when I wanted to create natural skincare solutions for my family’s needs. What started as a quest to soothe my kids’ eczema turned into a passion project that I’m now sharing with you.
Balancing business with family time was a challenge - taking time out from family schedules was tough, but I’m learning to prioritise and make it work. Another hurdle was educating people about the power of natural oils - many are used to grabbing a cream off the shelf, so sharing the benefits of our balms has been a fun learning curve.
Looking ahead my purpose is simple: help people live a more natural organic life whenever possible. Our families deserve the best of the best and that means buying less of chemical based products. I’m striving for healthier skin, happier families and a kinder planet.
Future goals include expanding our product line and reaching more people - not just in Australia but overseas too.
What began as a passion project has evolved into something more. We’re proud of where we’ve been and even more excited for what’s ahead.
I started with making Balms, then slowly started removing all the toxin products from my house, I make my own laundry and dishwashing powder. It’s not just about what we apply on our body, but also about what we consume - I did not want any toxin chemicals on my crockery, clothes, linens. We try our best to live with nature, each person counts. I read a sayin “the fuller our bins are, the further way we are from nature. We recycle all the soft plastic at our local store, we stopped buying pre-packed snacked and make our own. As sugar and seed oil are not our best friends. We support our local farmers market every Saturday. Having nutrient dense food is so important. People will only realise when they break the cycle of takeout’s, packaged food. I’m not completely against it but, I would recommended reading ingredient lists, what’s good and bad for your body. This is everyone’s journey and it takes time, it will not happen over night, rather slowly transition into it. Start slowly and don’t stop. Trust me, when our gut is happy, we are have so much more energy. Please do reach out to me for any tips or recommendation.
