The Strange Luxury Story

Strange Luxury started with a question: what if we redefined luxury skincare and made it attainable for our generation? Strange Luxury is all about clean beauty, curated culture and the confidence that comes with glowing skin. Bella Geminder has always been obsessed with beauty. Giving advice to friends, keeping up with trends, and how beauty goes more than skin deep. She’s been dreaming up a beauty brand since she was ten years old, and her goal hasn’t changed: to make people feel good. Bella has travelled the globe both personally and while modelling in LA for two years, which made her skin super sensitive and she developed dermatitis. She found herself committed to the ‘best of the best’ skincare, but that resulted in a huge routine and huge expense. So she teamed up with a team of clinical scientists to create a high end, high performance edit of skin essentials, without the same high price. Strange Luxury was born.

Strange Luxury is a tight curation of necessary luxuries. Our approach to skin is to nourish and protect, strengthen the skin barrier, and soothe sensitivities. We champion scientifically proven, fragrance-free formulas, bolstered by our signature SL8™ blend. Rich in native Australian botanicals and potent antioxidants, the SL8™ blend is the hero of all Strange Luxury formulas.Expect to find Kakadu Plum for brightness, potent antioxidants Illawarra Plum and Burdekin Plum, Muntries to prevent moisture loss, Pepperberry to calm sensitivity, Riberry to plump and firm, Panthenol to deeply hydrate, and Purslane to calm and restore. These six natural botanicals and two iconic skin soothers work to nourish and transform your skin.  Strange Luxury is all about Australian made, clean, efficacious formulas that actually work, without compromising on the decadent experience of a high-end brand. 

The new era of beauty doesn't put down or exclude. Instead we’re asking, how can we make luxury more attainable and inclusive for this generation? Because it’s no longer about wearing a brand name like a badge, being flashy, or owning more and more and more. Strange Luxury is about the considered experience. How it delights the senses. Quality that you can touch, smell, and enjoy. Products that make you feel something—feel confident.
