Aboriginal Skincare in Country
This section is especially valuable if you search for authentic Aboriginal skincare solutions that combine cultural heritage with natural efficacy.
Looking for authentic Aboriginal skincare that tells a deeper story? You’re in the right place.
Created by Warumungu and Luritja woman Melissa Cole, Yaye (pronounced Yah-Yah) means “Big Sister” in Arrernte. As Melissa shares:
“Yaye is more than skincare. It’s a way to share our stories and connect to our Country and culture.”
The Red Ochre Oil reflects this ethos, drawing on the sacredness of ochre, the purity of native botanicals, and the science of modern clean beauty. Every drop nourishes the skin while celebrating Aboriginal identity and self-determination.

The Hero Ingredient: Red Velvet Oil
Red Velvet Oil is at the heart of this face and body oil, derived from upcycled tomato seeds. This eco-conscious innovation embodies Yaye’s values of sustainability and zero-waste beauty. Red Velvet Oil is naturally rich in Lycopene, a powerful antioxidant proven to:
- Improve skin texture and tone
- Boost skin elasticity and radiance
- Protect against environmental stress
This cutting-edge ingredient works harmoniously with a selection of ethically sourced plant-based oils to create a lightweight, fast-absorbing, and glow-enhancing treatment for the entire body.
Powerful Native Botanicals for Skin Wellness
Each ingredient in the Red Ochre Face & Body Oil is carefully selected to deliver deep hydration, nourishment, and balance, while staying true to the clean beauty movement.
🌿 Macadamia Oil – Nourishes and supports the skin barrier with essential fatty acids.
🌿 Safflower Oil – Locks in a layer of moisture and prevents clogged pores. Lightweight and non-greasy.
🌿 Hemp Seed Oil – Rich in Omegas 3 and 6 to calm irritation and reduce inflammation for calm skin.
🌿 Native Sandalwood Seed Oil – Soothes and softens, ideal for dull, dry-looking skin.
🌿 Vitamin E (Tocopherol) – Potent antioxidant that helps shield dehydrated skin from environmental damage.
🌿 Sunflower Oil – Strengthens and supports clean skin for all skin types.
🌿 Caprylic/Capric Triglycerides – Adds a silky texture that glides effortlessly and leaves skin supple.
Together, this formula delivers a nourishing, skin-enhancing experience that is kind to your skin and the planet.
