PhilosophyAustralian organic skincare with a Byron Bay heritage and distinct apothecary feel.Liah Yoo's "press reset" philosophy: strip skincare back to what the barrier actually needs.

Black Chicken Remedies

Black Chicken Remedies is the Byron Bay clean-beauty brand built around Australian botanical extracts — manuka, kakadu plum, eucalyptus — and a strong ECOCERT-adjacent formulation discipline. The Axilla Deodorant Paste and Star Honey Face Oil are the most globally-recognized, and the broader catalog covers face, body, and a small home-fragrance line. Mid-to-premium pricing.

Pros

✓ Byron Bay origin
✓ Australian botanical sourcing
✓ Strong sustainability credentials
✓ Apothecary-style branding

Cons

✗ Premium pricing for clean beauty
✗ Some scents are heavy
✗ Limited US distribution

Krave Beauty

Liah Yoo built Krave Beauty the way you wish more brands would — with a skincare-fatigued YouTube audience in mind, a commitment to stripping back rather than piling on, and one genuine cult hit in Great Barrier Relief. Small catalog, specific mission, loyal fans. Not for people who want a 10-step system. Very much for people whose skin has been yelled at for too long.
