SPA+CLINIC – Peninsula Hot Springs Finds Perfect Synergy

It took three and a half years for the team at Peninsula Hot Springs in Victoria to source a new skincare line for their day spa. But after a long journey of trialling numerous potential product lines, they've found finally their perfect match. Last month, Charles Davidson, founder of the holistic healing haven, revealed a new partnership with multi-award winning Australian skincare brand, Synthesis Organics. 

The first natural day spa centre in Victoria, Peninsula Hot Springs have collected their own share of prestigious titles too. Over their 20 years of operation they've won 'best mineral spa' at the World Luxury Spa Awards several times, as well as an ecotourism accolade from the Victorian Tourism Industry Council.

The team at Peninsula Hot Springs celebrated the union with an official media launch last Thursday. A 70-minute drive from Melbourne, the establishment capitalises on iconic natural hot springs of the Mornington Peninsula. It boasts over 30 types of bathing experiences across two facilities and currently services 440 000 guests per year. "We wanted to align with a beautiful skincare range that had similar values to us.", says Charles Davidson, founder of Peninsula Hot Springs. "For us that meant finding products that were truly connected to the natural environment, so being certified organic was one of our key criteria in choosing. Like us, Synthesis Organics is dedicated to restoring wellness by re-connecting people to the natural environment. Product formulas in the range wholeheartedly echo this philosophy as ingredients are ethically sourced and seasonally adjusting." 

"Our native Botanicals are ethically sourced in partnership with Indigenous Australians," says Theme Rains, creator of the brand. 

My products are formulated for holistic wellbeing and they're literally a synthesis of all the positive things that have affected my life since early childhood. I grew up under the care of a traditional medicine woman in Africa collecting crystals, herbs and participating in ceremonies.

Throughout my adult life, I have immersed myself in the healing arts including aromatherapy, yogic disciplines and honing my craft as a skincare formulator under the guidance of an alchemist. I am dedicated to green chemistry, with extraction methods that harness the unique and effective bio-actives from native botanicals, without compromising their potency or the environment.
