Behind the Brand: The Story of Black Chicken Remedies

Behind the Brand: The Story of Black Chicken Remedies

At Black Chicken Remedies, we believe in the power of nature to heal, rejuvenate, and nourish the body. We're an Australian-owned, 100% natural skincare company that’s all about creating remedies that go beyond beauty trends. We care about healthy skin, healthy minds, and healthy bodies. But how did we get here? Let’s take a journey behind the brand, to see how a simple bowl and a passionate vision transformed into a global skincare brand.

A Personal Journey That Sparked a Revolution

The story of Black Chicken Remedies begins with our founder, Chey Birch. In 2000, Chey was living in Bondi, Sydney, and struggled with irritated skin and sinus issues. After seeking the guidance of a naturopath, Chey was encouraged to take a closer look at the everyday products she was using. What she discovered shocked her—many of the soaps, scrubs, and cleansers she was applying were filled with synthetic and toxic ingredients.

Determined to find a solution, Chey took matters into her own hands. Armed with a deep love for natural remedies, she began blending essential oils and therapeutic botanical extracts in her dining room, aiming to create something that would help her own skin issues. The result? A soothing, healing oil that not only worked wonders for Chey’s skin but also captured the attention of friends who asked if they could try it too.

That humble creation is now known as Love Your Body Oil —a product that remains unchanged since its inception and is still one of our most beloved items today.

From a Little Bowl to Global Reach

What started as a personal remedy turned into something much larger than Chey ever anticipated. People were amazed by the transformation in their skin, and as word spread, Black Chicken Remedies began to grow. The simple idea of using the highest quality natural ingredients without any preservatives or binding agents became the foundation for the brand.

Our products are not just about looking good or smelling nice—they’re about making a tangible difference to the health of your skin, mind, and body. Whether it's a rejuvenating facial serum, a soothing body oil, or an award-winning deodorant, each Black Chicken Remedies product is crafted with care, using ancient wisdom and natural ingredients that promote overall wellness.

A Commitment to Natural, Holistic Wellness

At Black Chicken Remedies, we don’t follow fleeting beauty trends. Instead, we focus on what truly matters—creating natural skincare that heals and nourishes on a deeper level. We believe in using the power of nature to offer remedies that are as effective as they are pure.

Our products are crafted with only the highest quality, organic, and natural ingredients. From the gentle Axilla Deodorant Paste to the nourishing Balm of Ages, every item is designed with therapeutic benefits in mind. Our commitment to keeping everything free of nasties means you can trust that when you use Black Chicken Remedies, you’re treating your body with the care it deserves.

Customers Speak: A Testimony of Trust

"I found Black Chicken Remedies in 2020 while searching for a natural deodorant. From there, I started using products like the Love Your Face Serum and ICU Eye Serum, and the transformation in my skin was amazing. What surprised me the most was how much joy I found in my new skincare routine—it became my daily self-care ritual. The products not only transformed my skin but also gave me an entirely new perspective on self-care." - Katia C.

"Black Chicken’s original deodorant is flat out amazing and the only one that has ever worked for me. I haven’t found anything better. And even better is their customer service." - Abbs

"The Black Chicken Deodorant has to be my favourite deodorant in the world. I made the mistake once of running out when I was on holiday and I had to buy a regular deodorant from the local store and my arms and chest ended up aching. It was a great wake up call to remember that every product you use on your skin has in impact on your body. I am so happy that I found the Black Chicken Deodorant and now it even comes in a metal tin I can reuse or recycle - one less product to buy in plastic.. Thank you!!" - Felicity S.

"I love the products of black chicken! One of my favourite natural brands, with great products and offers. Furthermore their customer service is excellent, they reply fast, and are very caring and reasonable. Great to find a real ethical company ❤️" - Alicia

"Typically, I refrain from penning reviews about consumable goods. However, on this occasion, I am compelled to extend my heartfelt appreciation towards this esteemed local establishment, which epitomises the epitome of exemplary customer service and post-purchase assistance. When I initially reached out to them, I certainly did not anticipate such a swift, inspiring, and compassionate reply. Their customer service and adeptness in resolving issues have left an indelible mark on me. Without hesitation, I wholeheartedly endorse this company and their unparalleled selection of luxurious body products." - Cinzia S.
