About us

Hi, I’m Keeley – the owner and creator behind Soy and Shea, a handmade skincare business based in Australia.   Over the years, I’ve been asked time and time again to share my recipes, and that’s what inspired me to create DIY Body Care.

This space is where I share the formulas that I have developed, tested, refined for my own business. Some recipes are exactly as you find them on my shelves, where as others are prototype formulas that I have tweaked to suit my budget, ingredient availability and branding.   Each recipe has been developed with care and is designed to be both easy to follow and customise, so you can create your own unique, brand-ready products.

I’m passionate about creating simple, skin-loving products using high-quality ingredients — and I believe making your own body care should be both achievable and enjoyable. Many of these recipes are also designed to be easily customised, giving you the flexibility to make products that suit your own brand or personal preferences.

Despite the simplicity of all my formulas, they necessitate a basic understanding of product safety protocols, including the importance of checking PH levels when needed. These formulas are designed to aid in the expansion of your product line, but they do not provide an exact step-by-step guide.

Welcome to DIY Body Care – where you’ll find trusted guidance, tested formulas, and the confidence to create with purpose.
