Our Story
Meet Amanda
Born and raised in Melbourne, Australia. Most of my fond memories are in my parents’ backyard set amongst fruit trees, mediterranean herbs and vegetables. My parents immigrated to Australia from Palestine. I grew up in a richly cultured household, where heritage and traditions were cherished and passed on to me. We drank a lot of herbal tea and our house always smelt like sage, mint and aniseed. We ate as much as possible from the garden, a mediterranean and Levantine diet. Naturally, I grew up loving nature and it's where I'm most inspired.
With a background in Food Science and Nutrition, I became more aware of the ingredients in the products we use and the food we eat. This awareness led me to appreciate the simple, natural remedies passed down through generations.
Fast forward—I married a Palestinian man from Haifa who decided to grow his hair out. That’s when we noticed a problem: his hair was shedding. A lot. It was everywhere—on his pillow, in the bathroom, all over the house. We tried store-bought products, but nothing worked without enduring terrible side effects.
After trying countless formulas, we finally found one that not only stopped my partner's hair shedding but also transformed his dry, damaged hair—once lifeless, it became softer, shinier, and healthier than ever before. Amazed by the results, I tried it on my curly hair, and it not only reduced my shedding but made my hair grow much faster, feel healthier, softer, and less frizzy. It helped me to embrace my natural hair.
That’s when we knew we had something truly special. What started as a personal mission to help my partner, became a calling to share it with the world.
That’s how Issa Naturale was born—starting with our first product, Hair & Scalp Oil. Made with carefully chosen, pure ingredients, it became an essential part of our hair care routine.
At ISSA NATURALE, every bottle of Hair & Scalp Oil is made with the same care and dedication that went into perfecting that very first batch. We’re committed to providing a natural and effective solution to help you achieve healthier, stronger and more beautiful hair.
Thank you for trusting us to be a part of your hair care journey. I hope you love it as much as we do.❤️
