We believe that 'Beauty begins in the belly' - that when you are healthy on the inside, your skin radiates a natural glow that no amount of cosmetics can replicate.

Why our products?

Bio-Fermented

More than 25 years of research has gone into the development of our bio-fermentation process, Flora Culture™. It involves fermenting wholefood ingredients with a ‘mother culture’ containing 12 species of beneficial bacteria including those from the genera of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium.

Microbiologist Approved

We work with leading microbiologists on cutting-edge research to deliver scientifically formulated food-based probiotic powders and elixirs which we believe are essential for digestive health and skin radiance.

Organic & Natural

We only use the cleanest, most pure Certified Organic and biodynamic wholefood ingredients. Studies have shown that organic foods contain greater levels of nutrients than conventionally grown produce, and when these foods are combined with our natural fermentation process, powerful, live and bioactive formulas are created.

About us

Carla Oates created The Beauty Chef in 2009 after healing her family’s skin issues and discovering that beautiful, glowing skin begins with a healthy gut.

Carla spent the first 10 years of her working life as a fashion stylist before turning her attention to beauty writing. But the allure quickly wore off as she became alarmed by the synthetic substances and toxins contained in many commercial beauty products. She began writing about healthier, natural alternatives made from plants and organic foods and wrote her first book, Feeding Your Skin, published by Penguin Books.

By then she was a mother of two small children, who are now teenagers. When her daughter began to experience similar skin issues to the eczema and allergies she herself had experienced as a child, Carla put her family on a gut-healing protocol that included probiotic-rich, lacto-fermented wholefoods. Very quickly Carla noticed a profound difference in her daughter’s skin, as well as the improved wellbeing of the whole family.

When friends and family began asking why her skin looked so ‘glowy’, Carla realised the power of the gut-skin connection and the importance of beauty from the inside out. She began experimenting with lacto-fermenting skin-loving superfoods in her Bondi kitchen and that’s how GLOW—The Beauty Chef’s first inner beauty powder—was created.

The pioneer of the inner beauty category, The Beauty Chef now has a range of bio-fermented, probiotic-rich wholefood supplements and organic topical skincare products.

Carla works on her unique formulas with a team of leading microbiologists, naturopaths and nutritionists, employing cutting-edge research to develop products that support gut health and glowing skin—beauty from the inside out.

“I’m passionate about raising awareness of the link between beauty and gut health and hope that my products will not only make your skin glow, but help you feel better, too.”
