"Men’s health is not just a trend; it is a vital pillar of overall well-being. Caring for oneself, both inside and out, is a powerful act of respect for the body and spirit. At Synthesis Organics, we believe in creating rituals that honour men’s unique needs, helping them to thrive in harmony with nature and their true essence."

"Men’s health is 365 days a year, and as life seems to get busier every year, so to the importance of self love, I have always been curious of how I could do that better.
I’m a huge advocate for transitional breaks throughout the day, it only takes 3 minutes to have a holiday that nurtures your holistic health and wellbeing. Whether it’s a 3 minute yoga, meditation or even breathwork or taking a stroll, I have a ritual of first applying my Calm Roll-on to my temples and particularly if I’ve been stuck behind the keyboard, I’ll use the Spectrum Face Mist. The products give a signal to my senses that it’s time for a reset."
Barry’s Breathwork technique:
Apply Calm Roll-on to temples, then:
Breathe in for count of 4, hold for count of 7, exhale for count of 9. Maintain for 3 minutes.
I repeat several times throughout the day; before a big meeting, or a call or ending a call or meeting. And especially when I arrive home I definitely take that break and transition from work to becoming the best parent I can be.
Sydney Based Bonsai Artist & Industrial Designer
“I mentally de-stress by creating bonsai art, while physically, I practice moxibustion and do regular treatments for my hair & skin. While it wasn't a focus in the past, I reckon more men are now becoming conscious of the importance of caring for both their mind and body.
I absolutely love the Hair & Scalp Elixir, especially for my curly hair—it works wonders. I also enjoy using Soothe Face & Body Oil daily; it keeps my skin rejuvenated and has a subtle, pleasant fragrance from the blend of ingredients."
Spa Consultant, 6 Degrees Spa Consulting
"As a man navigating andropause and almost reaching my 60th year, I am committed to an easy but comprehensive skincare routine. I have a morning ritual which not only refreshes and prepares my skin for the Bali sun, but uplifts my mood.
The action of massaging my face with the products, is extremely calming to me. I actually sit for this and give myself the short few minutes to breathe, to inhale the aromas; the massage movements have a neuroplasticity effect, quelling any stress or anxiety I may have."
Richard's Ritual
Here are Richard’s simple steps for radiant skin.
RENEW ENZYME CLEANSER - in the shower…easy!
RENEW EXFOLIATING TONER - I dab with cotton pads as this is an active enzymatic exfoliant
NOTOX AGELESS GLOW SERUM – Apply to eye area
BIOACTIVE BALANCING MOISTURISER + C=MC² VITAMIN C SERUM - 2 pumps of moisturiser and 2 pumps of serum, I emulsify together in my hands and massage my face and neck
SPECTRUM SHIELD MOISTURISER SPF15 - I beach walk every day, so it’s essential to protect my skin from the Bali sun…and wear a hat!

“My favourite treatment is to clean my face with the Renew Enzyme Cleanser, then use the Replenish Elixir and give myself a face massage. I also love to use the Calm Roll-on when I meditate or late in the day when I need to slow down, or if I feel overloaded with work to come back to a moment of gratitude and peacefulness.
I love the Breath of Australia Roll-on as it has Eucalyptus which has an energising effect that I use in my creative process at the office or when I’m out and want an uplift. When I am working, I use the Spectrum Face Mist as it’s really refreshing and hydrating and gives me extra inspiration."

Aerospace Engineer & Qi Gong Teacher
"I believe the human body is an incredible piece of technology, and for it to work really well, we have to be present in it—embodied and fully in the moment, all the way from the fingertips to the ends of the toes. I’ve found that Qi Gong allows me to tap into my body’s energy, promoting motion, flexibility, and overall wellness.
I primarily use Follow the Light Eye Cream in the mornings. Due to some old injuries and slight scarring around my eyes, I often wake up with puffiness. Follow the Light helps reduce that puffiness and smooth out any wrinkles, making me look as healthy as I feel. I usually follow up the eye cream with this Replenish Elixir, which adds an extra layer of nourishment to my skin."
Paul's Qi Gong Practice
I teach Qi Gong classes and I often practice on my own as well, especially down at the beach. There’s something special about practicing Qi Gong in nature; it deepens the connection between body and mind.

Synthesis Organics Co-Director
"Balancing the demands of running a business, a farm, constructing our new lab, and raising a toddler can make the days feel full. This makes it essential to create spaciousness and allow life force energy to flow freely. This is the core principle behind all wellness traditions because when there’s sufficient conductivity, everything else is taken care of. While there are many available methods to achieve this, one of the simplest, most effortless ways to enhance our life force energy is through the use of our products, which are carefully harmonised to amplify our life force."
CHRIS' LIFE FORCE ENERGY PRACTICE
I stay grounded by maintaining conscious breathing and keeping a Bioenergetic Roll-on in my pocket, applying it to pulse points throughout the day. I also use our face and aura mists frequently, especially Heart Space Hydrosol and Spectrum Face Mist when working at the computer. These products not only benefit my skin but also reinforce my conductivity, allowing life force energy to flow effortlessly, even in the most demanding circumstances. To end the day on a high note, I of course turn to my favourites – Notox Ageless Glow Serum and Replenish Elixir.
