Our Founder - Sylvie Hutchings

I’m Sylvie, founder of SCOUT Organic Active Beauty, a mother of three sons, and a two-time cancer survivor.

SCOUT began not as a business idea, but as a deeply personal mission—to create beauty that is effective, actually improves skin and nail health, and allows woman to feel confident, cared for, valued.

In 2013, while raising three energetic young boys, I was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. Then again in 2022, I faced breast cancer. Both times, I came through with strength, resilience, and a renewed sense of purpose. Those experiences were life-altering—and they profoundly shaped the way I view wellness, beauty, the power of science and nature and what we choose to put on our skin.

My heritage is rooted in the ‘down to earth’ wisdom of generations—Italian warmth, German precision. I grew up in Australia surrounded by natural remedies, seasonal rituals, and an innate trust in the body’s ability to heal when supported by nature. That early love of holistic health never left me—it grew stronger through motherhood and adversity.

SCOUT was created as a response to everything I had learned: that true beauty is intelligent, honest, and well-researched. Our products are powered by certified organic botanicals, skin-nourishing superfoods, and active natural ingredients—formulated to deliver real results without compromise.

We stand at the forefront of natural beauty, committed to integrity, transparency, and science-backed skincare. Every product is made with intention, backed by scientific research, and guided by care.

This brand is my legacy—a celebration of life, resilience, and the kind of beauty that lasts.
Thank you for being part of the SCOUT story.
