One of the things we feel most proud of at Retreat Yourself is the brands we get to work with.
Every season, we get to feature incredible Australian and New Zealand-owned products that genuinely align with our values - and what we keep finding is brands that really, truly care about what they create. Some have been around for years, some are newer to the scene, but the common thread is always the same: real people, real passion and products that are made with so much intention.
We feel so honoured to be able to celebrate them inside our boxes (and with you!) - it's not something we ever take for granted. So we wanted to take you behind some of the brands in our Autumn 'Relax & Unwind' Retreat Box - because we feel that when you know a little of the story behind something, it changes the way you experience it.

Kind Bod was created by Avalon during early motherhood - a season of life that was full and beautiful, but one where quiet moments became few and far between (if you know, you know). Her bath and shower time became her space to breathe, decompress and feel like herself again. From that very personal need, an idea took shape: what if small, everyday rituals could become genuinely restorative? Kind Bod was born from that question. The brand is built on the belief that self-care doesn't need extra time - it can live inside the moments you already have. Every product is crafted to turn an ordinary shower or bath into something that genuinely nourishes the mind, body and nervous system.

Evolu was founded by Kati Kasza, a former international flight attendant for Air New Zealand, whose years of constant travel, dry cabin air and disrupted routines left her searching for skincare that actually worked with her skin - not against it. Drawing on her Hungarian heritage and a deep family connection to plants and botanicals (her father a pioneering winemaker, her mother an expert herbalist), Kati established Evolu in 1997 with a simple but powerful intention: skincare that restores balance rather than overwhelming it. Proudly made in Aotearoa New Zealand, Evolu is cruelty-free, sustainably minded and CarboNZero™ certified - a brand that genuinely cares about skin, people and the planet in equal measure, something that we've found is an incredible rare find.

Based in South Gippsland, Coastal Collective Australia is a brand inspired by the slower, quieter rhythm of coastal life. They create candles and diffusers designed to bring that unhurried, by-the-sea calm into everyday spaces - the kind of products you set up, forget about, and then suddenly notice because the room just feels different. Every product is made to be lived with and to elevate the everyday, not saved for special occasions. Australian owned, Australian made and vegan, Coastal Collective is doing something very beautiful - bottling a feeling and making it available to anyone who needs a moment of stillness in their everyday.

Kez's Kitchen started exactly the way the best food brands do - with a love of baking and a belief that everyone deserves to feel included at the table. What began as family recipes has grown into a full range of gluten free snacks, made in their very own bakery and designed to be genuinely satisfying. Their food isn't about compromise - it's about comfort, connection and creating treats that bring people together, regardless of dietary needs. Australian owned and made, Kez's Kitchen is a reminder that the best things often come from the simplest places: a kitchen, a family and a whole lot of heart. And best of all? They are available in your everyday shop at Woolworths :)

Founded in 2008, Grown Alchemist approaches skincare from a genuinely different angle - viewing skin health not as an isolated concern, but as part of whole-body wellbeing. Their philosophy sits at the intersection of advanced skincare science and plant-based ingredients, and every formula is designed around how biology and environment work together. The result is skincare that doesn't just perform - it makes you feel good using it. It's thoughtful, considered and grounded in the belief that caring for your skin can be a deeper kind of self-care. Australian made, vegan and free from animal testing, Grown Alchemist is a brand with real depth behind it.

Love Beauty Foods was created by Gabby and Will in their coastal hometown of Newcastle, after they made the decision to leave behind the pace of city life and build something more intentional. The brand was born from a desire to live more consciously - to reconnect with the natural world and create products that genuinely aligned with those values. Every product uses ingredients sourced from local growers, and is packaged in recyclable materials. It's a brand that understands that looking after yourself and looking after the planet don't need to be separate things. Australian owned, made and beautifully considered.
