Her Story

I was living my dream — sun, salt, and a new life in Australia after leaving Thailand. The beach became my sanctuary. Every morning, with oil on my skin and toes in the sand, I enjoyed the ocean stretching out endlessly before me.

One day though, I had an epiphany.

As I flipped over my tanning oil and read the label, I saw it clearly for the first time — chemicals, petroleum, ingredients I couldn't pronounce. Ingredients that weren't just harmful to my skin, but washing off into the very ocean I loved.

I put the bottle down and called the man I trusted most.

"We need to make our own."

His Story

I was somewhere between Bali and Thailand when she called — living out of a bag, chasing golden hour for the next shoot, the next wave, the next horizon. As a commercial director and content creator, I had built a life that looked nothing like the one society had drawn up for me. That was always the intention.

When she told me her idea, I didn't hesitate for a single breath. Absolutely.

Because I had seen it too — the toxins quietly absorbed, the petroleum washing into waters we surfed and swam and loved. The synthetic ingredients hiding behind beautiful packaging. We put these things on our skin and called it self-care. We let them drift into the ocean and called it nothing at all.

We could do better. We had to.

I knew what we needed to build. And somewhere between the salt air and the sunlight, I knew exactly what to call it.

Baddie.

Not a word. A world.

A Baddie is a woman who has found her way back to herself — to something ancient and unhurried that lives beneath the noise of modern life. She does not perform confidence. She inhabits it. She moves like she belongs everywhere and owes nothing to anyone. Rooted in nature. Lit from within. Unbothered by a world that was never built for women like her anyway.

What followed was two years of obsession. We traveled. We sourced. We tested ingredients gathered from every corner of the world we had explored — Coconut Oil, Cacao Powder, Carrot Seed Oil, Avocado Oil, Grapeseed Oil, Vitamin E and more. Each one chosen for its purity, its power, and its reverence for the earth.

We tested. We scrapped it. We started over.

Sixteen times.

Formula #17 was the one — all-natural, reef-safe, and built from scratch with nothing but the finest ingredients the world had to offer. No toxins. No petroleum. No compromise.

Two people. One mission. Seventeen tries.

We didn't create Baddie Oils for everyone.

We created it for her.
