Our Story
"One sold every second."
That's the industry's statistic to celebrate. It's exactly the model WØRKS was built to reject.
From Suze
A note from our Founder
I'm proudly anti mass market. I didn't want to add another product to the pile without a genuinely better reason for it to exist. I wanted to build something that asked people to buy better, not to buy more, in an industry that mostly just wants you to buy again.
Our Approach
We're not trying to invent the future of self-care.
We're looking backward. To how things were made before industrialisation rushed everyone towards fast food, fast fashion and fast beauty. We make things slowly, by hand, meant to be used again rather than thrown away. Every product that leaves our studio has been made with real ingredients and filled and labelled by a real person, not a machine. If something here costs more than what's sitting on a supermarket shelf, it's because it took longer to make.
Small Batch, Hand Filled
Every bottle that leaves our studio has been touched by human hands.
We release fresh batches every 8 to 10 weeks rather than running a continuous line. It's slower, and it means less waste, better quality control, and formulas that stay true to what they're meant to be. Every product is filled, labelled and checked by someone in our Melbourne studio before it reaches you.
What's In A Name
WØRKS comes from "workshop."
I liked that word for its two meanings: a place where things are made by hand, and a place of building ideas. That's what I wanted this to feel like from day one. Not a factory line; a workshop.
The Ø is personal too. It's the Scandinavian symbol for certified organic, and it's there because of my husband and co-founder, Christoffer, who's Danish. We put it there in recognition of our commitment to using certified organic ingredients.
Materials
Built from things that last, not things that get thrown out.
Our bottles are cast in smoky grey glass, dishwasher safe and refillable. Our tubes are 100% plastic-free aluminium, cap included. Our gift boxes and candle packaging use FSC-certified cardboard, sourced from responsibly managed forests. Every material was chosen because it holds up, not because it was cheapest.
The Circle
You'll see a circle on everything we make.
It's not a logo; it's a philosophy. From our refill canisters to our gift boxes, the circle keeps showing up because it's whole, continuous, and made to come back to where it started. That's the same idea behind our materials: aluminium and glass that get returned and reused, not thrown away after one trip. It's a design choice that says the same thing every time: what we take, we give back.
What We Believe
- That the world doesn't need more; it needs better.
- That true luxury lies in patience, restraint, and artistry.
- In the power of human hands. Our products are filled, labelled and quality controlled by hand.
- In longevity built on authenticity, sustainable practices, and conscious products.
- That the best ideas are found in quiet moments.
