Fresh. Simple. Natural.
Our slow-set, cold-processed soaps are crafted with a deep reverence for nature, using only the finest natural ingredients.
Each soap embodies our passion for quality and tranquility.
By choosing our products, you’re not only caring for your skin; you’re supporting a positive impact on the environment and the well-being of our local communities.
All of our soaps are handmade, hand-poured, and hand-cut, blending unique ingredients and artisanal techniques to make each bar special. They are then cured for 4 to 6 weeks before they come to you.
The slight variations in design and colour, along with the gentle marks and drag lines - they’re all part of what makes each bar unique. We hope you love these qualities as much as we do.
Despite their artistic touch, our soaps are designed for everyday use. To help them last longer, just store them in a well-draining soap dish between uses.
Crafted with care, each soap is made with quality ingredients and pure essential oils to give you a wonderful experience for your body, mind and soul.
Let customers speak for us
Meet the Maker
Hi I'm Alicia! I'm the founder and creator behind Medika Organics.
I specialise in all-natural, handmade skincare products. Infused with organic botanicals, hydrating plant-based oils, and scented with my unique blends of pure essential oils. Each product embodies my passion for quality and tranquility.
The name 'Medika' (ma-dee-ka) was born from a conversation over coffee in 2021 with a close friend who was encouraging me at the time to get my brave on and start selling my handmade soaps.
We were talking about business names and I bee-lined straight to 'Lily Organics' as I've always loved the name Lily, ever since I was a little girl. If I'd have had a girl myself I would've named her Lily. (I had a boy and named him Luke!)
We looked up the indigenous word for Lily and found 'Medika'. It signifies native water lilies. I fell in love with it on the spot and the rest is history as they say!
'Medika' pays tribute to my Great Grandmother Lily, a Wiradjuri woman who was removed from her family at the tender age of 2. May her spirit live on.

The Secrets of Cocoa Butter and Avocado Oil in Skincare
In the world of skincare, few ingredients rival the luxurious goodness of cocoa butter and avocado oil. These powerhouse botanicals are not only beloved for their indulgent textures but also for their remarkable benefits. At Medika Organics, I harness the natural properties of these ingredients to create products that nourish, protect, and rejuvenate your skin.
The Luxurious Goodness of Cocoa ButterCocoa butter, derived from cocoa beans, has been treasured for centuries for its rich, creamy texture and deeply moisturising properties.
Here’s why cocoa butter is a staple in my handmade soaps:
- Cocoa butter penetrates deep into the skin, providing intense hydration and leaving your skin feeling soft and supple. Its emollient properties help to lock in moisture, making it an excellent choice for dry and dehydrated skin.
- Packed with antioxidants, cocoa butter helps to fight free radicals, which can cause skin damage and premature aging. Regular use of cocoa butter can help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, promoting a youthful complexion.
- Cocoa butter is known for its ability to heal and repair damaged skin. It can soothe irritation, reduce inflammation, and even help to improve the appearance of scars and stretch marks.
The Nourishing Power of Avocado OilAvocado oil, extracted from the flesh of avocados, is another skincare superstar that I incorporate into my handmade soaps. Its numerous benefits make it a must-have for any skincare routine:
- Avocado oil is rich in vitamins A, D, and E, which are essential for healthy skin. These vitamins help to nourish and protect the skin, promoting cell regeneration and a healthy glow.
- Packed with omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, avocado oil helps to maintain the skin’s moisture barrier, keeping it hydrated and preventing dryness and irritation.
- The anti-inflammatory properties of avocado oil make it ideal for soothing irritated and sensitive skin. It can help to calm redness and reduce the symptoms of conditions like eczema and psoriasis.
- Avocado oil stimulates collagen production, which helps to improve skin elasticity and firmness. This makes it a valuable ingredient for anti-aging skincare, as it can help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
- Despite its rich texture, avocado oil is quickly absorbed into the skin, providing immediate hydration without leaving a greasy residue.
At Medika Organics, I believe in the power of natural ingredients to transform your skincare routine. By incorporating cocoa butter and avocado oil into all of my soaps, I ensure that each bar provides deep hydration, nourishment, and protection for your skin. My soaps are crafted with care, using only the finest botanicals to deliver a luxurious and effective skincare experience.
Whether you’re looking to soothe dry skin, reduce the signs of aging, or simply indulge in a moment of self-care, my soaps are the perfect choice.
