Naturally Yours: The Story Behind 36Oils

At the heart of every bottle from 36Oils is a story - one that began with a personal search for honest skincare and blossomed into a brand built on love, intention, and plant-powered healing

36Oils was born from a very personal journey. Like many of us, its founders Gilbert and Jessica were looking for skincare that truly worked — something gentle, effective, and natural. That search led to a deeper discovery: that nature, when blended thoughtfully, could deliver long-term results without compromise.

The journey of 36Oils began in late 2020, sparked by a simple yet powerful idea — to create something deeply personal, honest, and rooted in care. In the beginning, there wasn’t a wide product range. Instead, it all started with custom face oils, each one carefully blended by hand based on an individual’s unique skin profile. Customers would fill out a form, and receive a one-of-a-kind formulation, made just for them — a practice that continues to this day.

A Custom-Tailored Approach

The first products 36Oils ever offered were bespoke face oils crafted one-on-one, based on each person’s unique skin profile. That spirit of personalisation is still at the core of what they do.

Today, the range has grown to include:

• Face & body oils
• Hair serum, oils and butters
• Beard care range
• Lip balms, sunblocks, masks, and scrubs
• Diffuser blends and balms — all handmade with care

What makes it all special? Every product is blended by hand using high-quality, natural, plant-based ingredients. And yes, if you stop by their stall, you might just catch them live-blending diffuser oils on the spot — a little bit of magic in real time.

A Day in the Life at 36Oils

Step into their workshop which is a charming, 100-year-old Maltese townhouse — and you’re greeted with the calming scent of essential oils and a space filled with quiet creativity. Whether it’s bottling, labelling, or testing a new blend, every product is made with deep care and intention.

The team even hosts private demos where people can experience the process first-hand, offering a peek behind the scenes (and often, some aromatherapy too).

Moments That Matter

For 36Oils, the proudest moments come from connection — from customers returning with stories of how a simple bottle of oil changed their skin, or people coming to markets just to find them again.

Every bit of feedback, every shared smile, is a reminder of why they started.

Growth has come not just in products but in purpose — and seeing that evolution is a constant source of pride.
