Our Story

Our founder

Hi I am Christine Courtney, founder and CEO of Obus Limited. I have spent my career bringing wellness to the centre of peoples’ lives. 

The launch of Obus Skin Care is the realisation of a dream that began many years ago.

Back in 2004, I set out to create skincare that was both nourishing and kind to sensitive skin because I could not find anything gentle enough for my own.

As an Aromatherapist and Educator, I also wanted my students to have beautiful, natural products they could trust when working with their clients. So, I began formulating creams and oils using high quality natural ingredients and essential oils.

They quickly became favourites with my students, their clients, and myself.

Over the years, I continued to refine these formulations. Learning, researching, and adjusting, always
staying true to my belief that skincare should nurture both the skin and the spirit.

The journey to bring this range to life was not without challenges, from pandemic delays to sourcing the perfect suppliers, but it has been worth every
step and turn.

Obus Skin Care is inspired by my own experience of ageing with joy and confidence. Each product has been crafted to celebrate self-care, while engaging the senses with beautiful natural fragrances and luxurious textures that delivers visible results for radiant, hydrated skin.

At 67, I am proving that passion does not have an expiry date.  I am finally doing what I love most, which is, helping women feel comfortable, confident, and beautiful in their own skin.

Obus Skin Care

Bring the love back into your skincare routine with Obus Skin Care. Each product is simple to use, easy to weave into your daily rituals, and designed to nurture even the most sensitive skin. Gentle and effective, our formulations respect the natural balance of your skin and are suitable for those undergoing treatment for cancer.

Obus Skin Care invites you to slow down, breathe in the beautiful natural aromas, and reconnect with the simple joy of caring for
yourself.

Self-care

Here at OBUS we believe that skin care is self-care.  By creating mindful rituals, we can transform them into powerful acts of self-love and compassion. Self-care is about taking time for ourselves and meeting our own needs, and skincare is a beautiful way to do just that.

Physically, skincare is more than just beauty.  It is about maintaining the health of our largest organ – the skin.  A proper skincare routine supports the health of the skin barrier, protects the skin from environmental damage and allows your inner radiance to shine.  

Mentally our skin care ritual can serve as a grounding practice, helping to reduce stress and anxiety.

Skincare routines are a form of self-compassion, demonstrating that we value and care for ourselves. By investing time and effort into our skincare, we send a message to ourselves that we are worthy of care and attention. This act of self-love can have a profound effect on our self-esteem and how we view ourselves.

Take time to prioritise you!
