Strives for Skin that’s settled, not stressed
We're on a mission to give sensitive and stressed-out complexions the love they deserve, without compromising on ingredients or performance. We're not your run-of-the-mill beauty brand; we want your skin to be as strong as you are. We understand that sensitive skin can be for a season or a lifetime, and either way, we’re here to provide you comfort and confidence.
Originally created to nurture founder Jess' skin whilst going through skin-depleting chemotherapy treatment, our restorative, high-performance products are meticulously formulated to rejuvenate skin back to its dewy glory. With natural formulas designed to care for even the most sensitised and compromised complexions.
Our purpose is simple
We’re defined as much by what’s in our products as by what’s not. Our range is made without the Fuca Dirty Dozen - 12 ingredients known to exacerbate skin sensitivities. Because no one’s skin deserves to be lathered with unnecessary fragrances, synthetic dyes, phenoxyethanol, essential oils, parabens, sulphates, alcohol, silicones, phthalates, polyethylene glycol, oxybenzone, and mineral oils.
Our vegan, cruelty-free products are consciously created in Melbourne, Australia to support a healthier microbiome, drench skin with long-lasting moisture, and strengthen its barrier to relieve dryness both immediately and over time.
After battling breast cancer, Fuca founder Jess was frustrated by the lack of support she found for her own skin, which had been deeply sensitised by chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatment. The products she was recommended weren’t cutting it and were full of unnecessary fragrances and fillers, ingredients she no longer wanted pervading her beauty and personal care products. With her background in product development and marketing she knew she could do better. So, she set out to create her own range of fragrance-free sophisticated formulas that perfectly catered to even the most reactive, pissed off skin. (And that looked great on her bathroom shelf).
Jess isn’t the only one facing sensitive skin issues. Modern life (hello Australian sun, alcohol, pollution) and conditions like eczema and rosacea can terrorise one’s skin. Fuca isn’t just for people going through treatment or looking to change their beauty habits after cancer; it’s for anyone seeking high-performance skincare without the nasties. Because why should those with sensitive skin have to miss out on all the fun?
