Gentle Skincare for Delicate Skin
Hey, I'm Mikaela, founder at Akaia Blends. I grew up with sensitive, allergy and eczema prone skin. So using gentle and non-irritating products has always been important to me.
A few years ago, I found myself looking for new skincare. I felt lost. I was trying to understand Ingredient lists, but it just went over my head. Some websites didn't even display the full ingredient lists at all! I struggled to make informed decisions about products. After that, I knew there needed to be a better way to decode the jargon.
I learnt about Ingredients, which lead me to learn how to formulate skincare. I purchased natural ingredients and some basic lab equipment. I subscribed to a skincare formulator on Patreon. I collected resources from The School of Natural Skincare and Formula Botanica. Trying to teach myself. I then started to use my own formulations on myself. I felt a huge peace of mind knowing what was going in and what I was leaving out. Not to mention my skin ended up LOVING what I was using!
Beautiful skin starts with healthy and happy skin. We formulate effective low-irritation products to help heal, nourish and hydrate your skin.

Pamper your skin after a day in the sun with macadamia oil, frankincense, apricot and almond oil. Use this body oil to nourish and restore the skin surface.
Macadamia Oil - Macadamia oil is great for aged, dry or damaged skin. It is moisturising, healing, and restorative.
Sweet Almond Oil - Rich in linoleic and oleic essential fatty acids, glucosides, minerals, and vitamins - all of which are essential for skin nourishment.
Frankincense - Is a premium oil for mature skin and anti-ageing formulations. Frankincense stimulates regeneration and healing to rejuvenate and tone the skin. Frankincense also provides a calm effect on the mind when smelt.
Kukui oil - Rejuvenating and soothing on the skin, that does not leave a greasy after-feel but is still an excellent moisturiser.
