Hi, We’re bettyquette

And it all happened by accident…
About bettyquette
The story behind the brand
In 2015, at the age of 42, I was diagnosed with a life-changing condition known as Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH). It’s a condition that occurred without a detectable cause (idiopathic) and involves high pressure within the spaces that surround the brain and spinal cord (intracranial hypertension).
These spaces are filled with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and resulted in migraines, visual loss, poor peripheral vision, short episodes of blindness and damage to my optic nerves. All the glam things!
I’ve always loved using face oils but once I was on a mission to beat my IIH into remission, the cocktail of medication required to make this happen took a huge toll on my body and my skin.
Products my skin loved were no longer doing their thing and I found myself searching for a face oil that was packed with natural, effective goodness.
The accidental skin care brand begins
Unable to find what I was looking for, I asked my husband, who has worked in chemistry and product formulation for over 20 years, if he could create one for me. He did, I began using it and within a few weeks family, friends and members of my decade-strong blogging community, Kirsten and co, began asking what I was using to achieve my newly improved glowing skin.
I wondered if the gentle, super hydrating face oil Scott had created for me could help others with their skin needs too. Turns out it could.
Our first two products – Get Up And Glow + Sleep On It – launched in 2017. With a wait list of 350 customers, we produced what we thought would be a month’s worth of product…which then sold out within 24 hours.
Fast forward to today and we now have 10 all natural, award winning products that help thousands of women across Australia and New Zealand achieve gorgeous, glowing skin.
Discover the full range here and transform your skin with Bettyquette.

Who is Betty?
Betty is educated, deep, witty, simple and young at heart.
She is naturally beautiful, honest, brave, loyal and nurturing.
She is the whole package; balanced, quirky, open-minded, complex and flawed.
She can be raw with her words, and gentle with her touch.
She is soulful, connected and driven. A modern day triple-threat, a go-getter. (Urban Dictionary, 2013)
Betty is you, Betty is me and Betty was also my grandma.
