Our Story
MARIELLAskin was born from a deep love of skincare
For founder and skin therapist Mariella Minniti, beauty has always been more than skin deep. Growing up, she watched her mother work as a beauty therapist and makeup artist, caring for clients with knowledge, kindness, and a personal touch. That early inspiration lit a spark that would shape her future.
By the age of 15, Mariella was already studying retail skincare and makeup while still in high school. Her passion only grew stronger, leading her to complete a Diploma in Beauty Therapy and dive into the industry head-first. Over the years, she gained extensive hands-on experience, undertook advanced training, and eventually returned to the classroom—not as a student, but as a lecturer teaching beauty therapy and makeup at Geraldton TAFE. With more than five qualifications and over 30 masterclasses, seminars, and programs under her belt, Mariella has built a career rooted in both expertise and a genuine love for helping others feel confident in their skin.
At just 20, she opened her first salon in Geraldton before later expanding her business to Perth. Yet despite working with countless products and brands, she noticed a gap in the industry—there wasn’t a skincare line that ticked all the boxes: clean, vegan, effective, and made with real Australian skin in mind.
So, she set out to create it.
After years of research, testing, and refining, MARIELLAskin was born—a brand grounded in professional knowledge and personal experience, crafted with the belief that skincare should feel simple, supportive, and results-driven. Each product is designed to work with your skin, protect and strengthen your barrier, and bring confidence to your everyday routine—no matter where you’re starting from.
“This brand embodies my dedication to creating high-quality, effective skincare products, grounded in both my professional expertise and personal experiences. The transformations I see in my clients’ skin continue to fuel my passion and drive in this industry.” — Mariella
