ABOUT
Meet the Maker
I’m Sandra, the founder and formulator behind Wild Alchemy Botanicals. I created this line to translate nearly two decades of skin therapy and plant science into targeted, daily barrier support.
🌿 Global Foundations: Certified through gold-standard international skin academies with world-recognized diplomas.
🥼 Clinical Discipline: Built my career within premier New Zealand clinics before advancing to high-spec. international medical spas.
🏫 Aesthetic Educator: Experienced tertiary-level educator who has authored and taught government-accredited clinical skin curriculums.
🧴 Studio Formulated: Every formulation is personally researched, small-batch blended, and poured by me in our independent Aotearoa studio.
Rooted in Aotearoa. Driven by Empathy.
Long before I stepped into treatment rooms, I understood what it felt like to have compromised skin.
Growing up with persistent, chronic skin conditions taught me early on how exhausting and painful systemic inflammation and a damaged skin barrier can be. With limited conventional solutions available, we turned back to the foundational tools accessible to us: the ocean, nutrition, and traditional plant-based preparations that supported the skin gradually, safely, and consistently.
Those early personal frustrations, combined with a deep reverence for the relationship between people, place, and rongoā-inspired wellbeing, shape my approach as a formulator today.
Evidence-Based Science
We combine raw plants with proven clinical actives like Niacinamide, AHAs and Vitamin-C for targeted dermal performance.
Sustainably Sourced
We utilise and blend native botanicals, including Kawakawa, Kānuka, and Mānuka hydrosols into our formulas.
Barrier Defence
We formulate with strict ingredient restraint to calm inflammation, rebuild lipids, and support compromised skin barriers.
