Beauty in Us is a labour of love rooted in a lifelong mission to drive structural change in the world. From my academic background in feminism to my personal experiences in women’s circles and integrative philosophies, I’ve carried this mission with me every step of the way. Now, I bring that knowledge to the world of skincare and body care, where every product and ritual is a testament to my commitment to empowering individuals to reclaim their unique beauty.

Behind the Brand
I am Ana Paula Maielo, a PhD scholar, researcher, mother, wife and a feminist. My journey through life has been shaped by my experiences as a woman, growing up in Brazil and moving to Australia in my late thirties.
Parallel to my academic pursuits, driven by a personal quest for self-discovery and a commitment to a healthier lifestyle, I embarked on a transformative exploration of diverse rituals and integrative practices which made my journey a rich tapestry of experiences.
These immersive practices allowed me to forge a profound connection with the natural world and its incredible capacity for healing. In my early thirties, I took a step further by delving into the science of skincare formulation.
