Meet Sarah & Phil
Nubeean Noosa
How it Started
Yes, There Were Goats
In 2019, our family spent twelve months living in the UK. While there, I discovered a skincare range based on fermented goat's milk that I loved.
By the time we flew home to Australia, I'd made a decision: I was buying goats and making my own.
So I did.
Miniature Nubians - a cross between Australian miniatures and Nubian goats. Phil had already started keeping bees with plans to use the honey and wax in my formulations.
Nubian goats + bees + Noosa = Nubeean Noosa.
The goats are still here (they're excellent at controlling lantana), but the fermented goat's milk skincare never happened. What I discovered during my research changed everything - and led to something better.
Meet Sarah
Sarah has over 25 years experience as a naturopath, nutritionist and herbalist. She runs Pomona Holistic Health and consults with clients as a naturopath when she's not making skincare.
She manufactures every Nubeean product by hand, writes all the research and ingredient pages, and somehow fits goat care in before and after work most days.
"With Nubeean Noosa, I feel as though I've come full circle - I spent my childhood with my head buried in herbal medicine books making lotions and potions to fade freckles , and here I am again."
Meet Phil
Originally from England, Phil worked in IT before catching the farming bug and defecting to become a goat farmer and beekeeper. He grew up working on local UK farms during school holidays, and that pull never really went away.
Phil is the one who grounds all my ideas into reality. I manufacture by hand, write the blogs and product pages, and run a naturopathic clinic alongside the skincare business. Without Phil's support, Nubeean Noosa simply wouldn't exist. He manages the beehives, handles operations and helps keep me sane through the highs and lows of running a small business.
"I'd love people to stop and think about what honey really is. It's concentrated flower nectar. One bee spends her entire life working to make just ½ teaspoon. I think that makes honey pretty special."
Our honey is minimally processed and still contains traces of beeswax and pollen from flowers on and around our property near Noosa. This is the very same honey we use in Honey Probiotic Cleanser
