About Amisi
Natural & Nourishing Skincare
How we blossomed
AMISI is Kerry Ann Purdy, a massage therapist, aromatherapist, and skincare formulator.
Kerry Ann is a creative person, she has a love of fashion and followed that thread into modelling work, travel and fashion studies. After a health struggle, she discovered Reiki, which transformed her life. Inspired, she became a Reiki practitioner, changing direction she expanded her learning to include aromatherapy and massage.
Combining creativity and passion for self-care, she founded her studio in 2011, offering relaxation treatments and beauty services in the green hills of Bunya, Queensland.
Retreat and relax
In the tranquil surroundings, with a soundtrack of forest birdsong and frogs, Kerry created a beautiful space to pull focus on you through her beauty therapy practises. She offers natural facials incorporating organic ingredients and aromatherapy to calm the mind and renew the skin. Kerry also specialises in body sugaring, a natural form of hair removal.
Strengthening purpose
In Kerry’s studio, skincare is all about self-care. Her studies in aromatherapy piqued her passion and respect for the wisdom of plants. Fascinated by healing energy of essential oils, discovering their incredible effects on emotions, mood, and skin. This put her on a natural path to the world of organic skincare formulation.
Products with heart
We prioritise how our products make you feel and believe in the holistic benefits that natural and organic ingredients bring to mind, spirit, and skin. Our shea butter, handcrafted by skilled African women, nourishes the skin and empowers communities by providing sustainable livelihoods.
Finding formulas
Driven by a passion for natural skincare, Kerry crafted the award-winning Tahitian Gardenia Body Balm in 2018 to naturally support ageing or dry skin. Soon, her products started speaking for themselves, and AMISI Skincare was born. Luxurious, all-natural skincare that nurtures body and soul.
And the rest? It's a hydrated, happy-skin history.
Naturally Nourishing
Plants contain thousands of naturally occurring chemicals, known as phytonutrients, within their petals, leaves, stems, peel, bark and seeds. These nutrients develop to defend the plant from bacteria, environmental stresses, insects and moisture loss; they also provide the colour, smell and unique flavour of the plant.
These natural plant chemicals contain vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids and antioxidants, and occur naturally in raw cold pressed seed oils such as watermelon seed, papaya seed, prickly pear seed, Blue Tansy star-flower, Tamanu, jojoba and Hemp Seed oil, to name a few.
