What running my own business means to me

May 14, 2025

I'm Sarah, the founder of denu. I want to share a little story with you - because chances are, if you're anything like me, you love a sense of satisfaction in your day and value authenticity.

In 2007, I was living a fast-paced life as a Sales & Marketing Manager responsible for Australia and New Zealand which involved quite a bit of travel. I really enjoyed it, however, after long days in meetings, once l was back in my hotel room, l was keen to relax and create space to reflect on what l had discussed that day as well as prepare for the day ahead. The trouble was, all around me were those tiny hotel bottles - full of synthetic colours, scents and chemicals, foreign made - they didn't appeal to me at all. And l certainly wasn't using them on my naturally curly hair!

One night, in a hotel room in Sydney the idea for denu was born.

I envisioned a new kind of self-care - products made right here in Australia with high-quality ingredients, beautifully scented with pure essential oils, and lovely to use. Importantly, no nasties, no mass production. I wanted a luxurious range that truly elevates how you feel. I wanted to soak in a bath that was restorative and beneficial to me.

Fast forward almost 18 years, and I’m incredibly proud to say denu still stands for everything I set out to create:

  • Natural products that truly nurture - mind and body
  • Beautiful essential oil blends, expertly crafted to uplift, rejuvenate and calm
  • Recyclable, reusable packaging made in Melbourne that respects the planet
  • A loyal tribe of fans who adore their denu routines that have become meaningful daily rituals
  • Donations of every sale made to local charities

It’s you, the woman who values natural beauty and mindful living, who truly inspires everything we do. Whether you’re just starting to explore or are already a devotee, I am so pleased you are here.
