Founder Pooja Walia in natural light with Seed Glow Face Oil

Meet the Founder

A few years ago, I found myself in what I lovingly call "skincare survival mode."

My face was dry, sensitive, and constantly angry at me, especially during winter. I kept switching products every few weeks, hoping one of them would help. Most times, I ended up more frustrated than before.

After endless products that promised miracles and delivered zero results, I was disappointed and frustrated. So I started over, from the seed up.

A love letter to nature and skin

Green Glow wasn't born in a boardroom.

It was born out of frustration, nostalgia, and a serious obsession with finding better ways to care for skin.

With time, I blended that childhood wisdom with modern knowledge. I studied skincare formulation, took inspiration from the timeless traditions of Ayurveda, and began experimenting at home. What started as a personal experiment turned into something more: a desire to create skincare that felt comforting, clean and transparent, without compromising on results.

Every product at Green Glow is handcrafted by me, from first idea to the final packaging. I handpick all ingredients, only the kindest to your skin. My dream is simple: to help you fall in love with your skin.

Thank you for trusting me with your glow. I'm beyond grateful to be a part of your skincare journey, and that of your loved ones.

Where it began

A kitchen, a cold-press, and a question

Green Glow started in my own kitchen here in Melbourne. Not with a business plan, but with a question: why were so many 'gentle' skincare products still irritating my skin?

Growing up with Ayurvedic traditions, I knew that nature has the answers for us. So I began experimenting, Mixing oils and perfecting formulas, No fragrance, No nasties.

Friends asked for bottles. Then friends of friends. What began as my own personal practice became Green Glow Skincare, still handmade in my studio, still small-batch, still rooted in the same belief that started it all.

"What we put on our skin matters just as much as what we eat."

What we stand for

Six things we will never compromise on

Ayurveda

Botanical-led formulas

Our formulas are built around thoughtfully selected botanical oils, butters and extracts. Where a product includes a non-botanical ingredient, such as the Manuka beeswax in Universal Balm, we state it clearly in the full ingredient list.

Ayurveda

Cold-pressed always

We never use heat-refined oils. Cold-pressing preserves the full nutrient profile: vitamins, fatty acids, and everything in between.

Ayurveda

Fragrance-free

No added fragrance or essential oils. We keep our formulas simple and publish full ingredient lists so you can choose what suits your skin.

Ayurveda

Small-batch, handmade

Every bottle is made by hand in Melbourne. Small batches mean better quality control and fresher product in every order.

Ayurveda

Cruelty-free, with vegan options

Green Glow never tests on animals. Vegan status is stated at product level: Universal Balm is not vegan because it contains Manuka beeswax. Check each product's ingredient list for full details.

Ayurveda

Radically transparent

Full ingredient lists on every product. No 'fragrance' catch-all. No mysteries. You deserve to know exactly what you're putting on your skin.
