Celebrating 20 years of trailblazing natural skincare
“When I founded Antipodes, sustainability was not part of the dialogue. Despite a lack of awareness, I was concerned by the phenomenal amount of waste generated by the beauty industry – so I consciously chose to make a positive contribution to the planet.”
Elizabeth Barbalich, Antipodes founder and CEO
We have saved 15 million+ plastic containers from polluting the planet**
Antipodes was established in 2004 with a vision to create 100% natural skincare products that outperformed luxury synthetic brands – without the environmental impact.
At a time when plastic was – and still is – the prevalent choice for skincare packaging, Elizabeth Barbalich our founder and CEO decided to use glass jars instead of plastic for our range of high-performance natural moisturisers.
This founding decision has now prevented 15 million plastic containers from polluting the planet.
