The sun-warmed
balm we waited for.

Halo Body Balm — frangipani, mandarin and jojoba. A morning ritual that hugs your skin like Sydney summer light.

Halo Body Balm
Why slow beauty

Bright botanicals.
Quiet rituals.

Sydney-grown

Most botanicals are sourced within 80 km of the studio — frangipani, lemon myrtle, davidson plum. The rest, we tell you exactly where they come from.

Small-batch

We make 200 of each product at a time, by hand, in our Marrickville studio. You'll know the date yours was poured — it's printed on the label.

Refillable

Every Méli bottle, jar and tube comes back to us when you're done. We rinse, refill and resend — a third of the price, none of the waste.

"Méli smells like Bondi at 6 a.m. — frangipani, salt, sun on warm skin. I've never had a body balm I want to wear out the door."
— Vogue Australia, summer issue

Stay sun-soaked.

Drops, recipes, the studio diary, and the occasional first-look at a new ritual. One letter a month, no more.
