About CelRiv

Our story starts
with a diagnosis.

CelRiv is short for Celebration and Revive, the two ideas at the heart of our founder Theresa's story. What began during her own radiation therapy is now Australian barrier care for skin that reacts to everything else.

Our story startswith a diagnosis.
From the founder

A letter from Theresa.

Hello, I'm Theresa.

Thank you for being here; it means more than you know.

In 2021, a routine check-up picked up something no one wants to hear. I was fortunate: it was caught early, and I will spend the rest of my life grateful for that appointment. It is why I will never stop encouraging people to book theirs. Early screening saves lives, and it saved mine.

During my radiation therapy, my oncologist stressed how important it was to keep the treated area hydrated and moisturised. So I did what any formulation chemist with 25 years in personal care would do: I read the ingredient list on the cream I was given. I knew immediately that skin going through so much deserved better.

I spent months studying treatment-related skin stress, and researching natural ingredients that support the skin's barrier, hold moisture in, soothe irritation and calm the look of redness. The result was a combination I had never seen before: postbiotics, upcycled bilberry seed oil and Tasmanian pepperberry. My own skin improved so noticeably that nurses and doctors began asking what I was using.

After extensive testing and clinical trials, that formula became B-Restore™ Barrier Cream. It exists for anyone whose skin is going through more than it should. Treatment, eczema, sensitivity, or simply a demanding season of life.

I wanted to build more than a skincare brand. I wanted to create a source of comfort and peace of mind, so you can embrace life and enjoy every moment without worrying about your skin.

With love and a gentle touch,

Theresa Tobin
