If This Luxe Hand Wash Looks Like it Belongs in a Seriously Fancy Spa, Its Because it Probably Does

We can probably agree that there’s something sacred about stepping into a spa. Essential oils scent the air, voices soften to a hush, linen robes cool the skin, and lotions and potions coat your body. Basically, every detail works in harmony to help you forget that the chaos of kids/career/not killing the pot plant that calls you their parent, left behind And, while within that cocoon of calm, skin care feels less like a routine and more like a ritual, unfortunately, outside those four walls, it can be hard to hold onto that same sense of intention.

That’s where Amatus skin care steps in.

Born in Melbourne, the brand is the brain child of Amy Zapantis. Who so loved the boujee body washes of her local gym so much, that she decided to DIY. Today, Amatus is about bringing the elegance and efficacy of the spa into everyday spaces. And, you can find it at a number of luxe locations, including Gym 1R and Core Plus, high-end co-working spaces like The Commons and Central House, and wellness clinics such as Super Young.

With its clean lines, quietly luxurious packaging and evidence-backed formulations, this is skin care that looks as good on your shelf as it feels on your skin. However, far from being another pretty face in the wellness crowd, Amatus is also functional beauty at its most refined: clear, purposeful, and grounded in real results.

Amy Zapantis is the foudner of Amatus skin care

Launched in June, Amy wanted to deliver a product that catered to a new generation of consumers who expect their skin care to work hard, look good, and align with their values. Think: no excessive ingredient lists, no fluff, and no overcomplication. Each formula blends efficacy with gentle performance, intentionally crafted to suit diverse skin types and lifestyles.

Amatus was built on the belief that consumers deserve to understand exactly what they’re putting on their skin. And, why it works.Eschewing overhyped trends and marketing jargon, Amatus formulates its products using only the most effective ingredients, avoiding duplication and potential irritants, even when those ingredients are commonly marketed as “natural” or “clean.” This streamlined, no-nonsense approach not only makes skincare simpler, but smarter.

The range is also consciously inclusive. All Amatus products are unisex, suitable for all ages, and formulated to adapt to varied skin needs. Whether it’s the Gentle or Complex range – or the standout Super Serum, which sits proudly in a category of its own – the formulations are vegan, cruelty-free, and developed with long-term skin health in mind.

Sustainability, too, is front and centre. The brand has committed to recyclable packaging across its entire range, from the sleek glass and plastic bottles to the eco-friendly boxes they arrive in. For the design-conscious consumer, the result is both a visual and ethical match: elevated skincare that respects the planet as much as it respects the skin.

More than just a beauty brand, Amatus represents the evolution of skin care as a lifestyle statement. Form meets function, and every detail embeds self-care into the experience. Its rise is a reflection of a broader shift in the wellness space, where consumers are seeking more than results. They’re seeking resonance.
