Ilan Style’s founder is both a proud Indigenous woman and an environmental scientist, and our team boasts Indigenous and non-Indigenous conservationists and a naturopath developer. We have a philosophy that everyone is indigenous to the universe, a topic on which Kerry has written widely.

We are just setting out on our journey with Ilan Style, and we acknowledge that it is not possible to be perfect in every respect. As such, we are not yet eligible to become B Corp Certified, but we hope to arrive there soon! And although our product design and packaging is relatively more expensive, this is because it is our responsibility to stand behind our values with honesty, transparency and consistency.

'Every decision we make for Ilan Style has our customer’s personal wellbeing, along with cultural and environmental sustainability, at the forefront. We won't compromise because we want to ensure that our legacy is a bright, safe, equitable and prosperous future for all.' Natalie Wood – Naturopath and Product Developer
