ABetter: Born in Melbourne From a Personal Wake-Up Call

In the heart of Melbourne, during a time when the world felt like it had paused, something shifted.
What began as quiet reflection became a personal turning point. A questioning of routines. A questioning of ingredients. A questioning of the everyday products most of us use without a second thought.
That moment became the beginning of A Better — a wellness brand rooted in lived experience, curiosity, and a desire for greater transparency.
When “You’re Fine” No Longer Feels Enough
For many Australians, wellness begins with a moment of awareness.
For the founder of A Better, it was the growing realisation that many common household and personal care products contain ingredients that are difficult to understand — and even harder to pronounce.
The casual reassurance of “don’t worry about it” no longer felt satisfying. Watching others struggle with increasing health concerns prompted a simple question:
If better options exist, why not choose them?
That question sparked a personal journey into researching ingredients, sourcing alternatives, and simplifying daily routines.
The Turning Point: A Daily Moisturiser Discovery
The shift became tangible when a commonly used moisturiser received a low ingredient rating in an app-based assessment. That discovery triggered deeper research into what was being applied to the skin every day.
Instead of settling, the founder began experimenting with natural alternatives — and eventually crafted the first bottle of Pure Organic Face Oil.
The experience was personal and practical:
- No breakouts
- No dryness
- Skin that felt balanced and nourished
What started as an experiment became a daily ritual — and the seed of something bigger.
A Better Was Born
From one bottle of face oil grew a broader vision:
A store offering thoughtfully selected products designed to support a holistic lifestyle.
A Better is built not on formal credentials, but on something equally powerful — lived experience, research, curiosity, and care.
Each product is chosen with intention. Ingredients are selected for clarity and simplicity. Suppliers are carefully considered.
The focus isn’t perfection. It’s progress.
A Better’s Vision
To become a trusted name in wellness by offering natural alternatives for everyday essentials — products you can understand, recognise, and feel confident using.
For many in our Lifestyle Medicine Gateway community, this resonates deeply. Wellness isn’t about trends. It’s about alignment — between what we value and what we bring into our homes.
Quality You Can Understand
A Better prioritises:
Quality Excellence
Products are sourced from trusted suppliers, with a focus on materials and ingredients that are clear and purposeful.
Empowering Knowledge
Education plays a central role. Through blog articles and shared resources, A Better encourages customers to learn, question, and make informed decisions about their wellbeing.
If you’re exploring more conscious skincare choices, their Pure Organic Face Oil is a natural starting point — created from the founder’s own journey.
Exceptional Customer Care
Wellness can feel overwhelming. A Better offers personalised support to help customers choose products aligned with their lifestyle and needs.
A Shared Philosophy
At Lifestyle Medicine Gateway, we often speak about whole-person wellbeing — the idea that small, consistent choices shape long-term health.
A Better aligns with this philosophy by encouraging:
- Ingredient awareness
- Simpler routines
- Conscious purchasing
- Holistic lifestyle thinking
It’s not about fear. It’s about clarity.
