OPTY NC

“Your skin is like a mirror to your internal health.”

– Cate Lilja, OPTY.NC Co-Founder

Having each spent decades working for some of the largest health and beauty companies in the world, Cate Lilja and Karissa Mather developed their own natural, food-based, ingestible beauty range – something that truly reflected their sustainable values and desire to empower people with scientifically backed results. Together they co-founded OPTY.NC..

Award-winning ingestible beauty and wellness brand with optimised, multi-benefit formulations that nourish and visibly improve your skin, gut, hair, and nails whilst boosting your immunity, all from the inside out.

Behind the name

OPTY [op - ty] best possible; most desirable; optimal, optimum; optimized.

NC [nutri - cosmetics] ingestible supplements that complement topical skincare products to create a 360 degree approach to radiant skin, stronger hair and nails, and overall health; providing the nutrients required to maintain a healthy rate of skin renewal, collagen synthesis and protect skin from environmental stressors that cause premature aging.

More than skin deep

OPTY.NC’s powerful natural ingredients are selected for their optimal performance, bioavailability, and ethical production. They are backed by nutritional science and incorporated at the optimal dosage for best efficacy and results.

Driven by efficacy

OPTY.NC’s team of microbiologists, food scientists, naturopaths and nutritionists draw on their decades of experience to create synergistic, holistic formulations that deliver on OPTY.NC’s claims.

Led by innovation

Science moves fast. OPTY.NC is committed to continuously enhancing their unique proprietary formulations in line with the latest scientific advances, ensuring the most effective results for you.

The OptyBlends™

OPTY.NC’s understands the complexity of the skin, and the intricate interplay between it and the rest of the body. They know that there is no one single active that can do it all. To achieve meaningful results, it takes an intrinsic understanding of how to combine science with nature. It creates a powerful combination.

OPTY.NC have drawn on decades of formulating expertise to create multi-benefit, synergistic OptyBlends™ which address these complex needs. Each OptyBlend™ comprises a combination of natural active ingredients that work together, via complementary biochemical mechanisms, to deliver multi-benefit effective skin solutions.

The OptyBiotics™

Each of OPTY.NC’s products have its own unique OptyBiotic™ blend of pre, pro and postbiotics designed to optimise gut health, bringing the gut-skin axis into balance.

Pre, pro and postbiotics have been shown in clinical trials to have many direct and indirect effects in the skin including: improve skin hydration, skin texture, skin barrier function (reduce TEWL [trans epidermal water loss]), Procollagen (increase collagen production), and improve keratinocyte differentiation in skin.

The gut-loving nutritional and herbal actives also work to improve microbiome balance, digestive health, immune system health and nutrient absorption.
