Our Story
Born from Two Worlds. Made for Yours.
My name is Silis Del Manso — and this brand is my most personal creation.
I was born in M'Buke Island (affectionately known as Sugarloaf), a small village in Papua New Guinea, and grew up in Darwin, in Australia's magnificent Top End. Two worlds shaped me: the rich, ancient traditions of PNG and the vast, clean, sun-drenched beauty of tropical Australia. Both taught me the same thing — that nature provides everything we need, if we're willing to listen.
I've always been deeply connected to the natural world. The ocean calms me. The Australian landscape energises me. Clean air, open skies, and the quiet power of the earth — these aren't just things I love. They're the foundation of everything I make.
The Moment Everything Changed
For most of my life, my skin was a source of frustration, not joy.
I have extremely sensitive skin. Product after product — moisturisers, washes, creams — left me with rashes, irritation, and discomfort. The ingredient lists read like chemistry experiments. The fragrances triggered migraines. I couldn't find a single brand that felt safe, gentle, and truly natural.
So I stopped looking for one. And I started creating my own.
Then my granddaughter was born — with the same sensitive skin as mine. And suddenly, this wasn't just about me anymore. It was about protecting her. About making sure the products touching her soft, precious skin were as pure and gentle as the love behind them.
That's when Silis by Silis became something bigger than a personal project. It became a mission.
For the Whole Family — Including the Men
My husband Dino has been by my side through every step of this journey. And my grandsons reminded me that natural, gentle care isn't just for the women in the family.
Our Men's Grooming Range was born from the same philosophy — no harsh chemicals, no overpowering fragrances, just clean, effective, natural care for the men who matter most. Because every member of your family deserves to feel their best, naturally.
Why Natural. Why Australian.
I limit chemicals in my home as much as possible. I choose eco products. I believe deeply in doing my part for this planet — and I hold Silis by Silis to that same standard.
Every product in our range is crafted with 100% natural ingredients, made predominantly in Queensland and Victoria, using Australia's extraordinary botanical landscape as our inspiration. Clean air. Minimal pollution. Ancient land. These aren't marketing words — they're the reason our products work.
No harsh chemicals. No overpowering fragrances. No compromises.
Just nature, bottled with love.
For You. For Your Family. For the Planet.
Silis by Silis is for anyone who believes that what you put on your body matters as much as what you put in it.
It's for the woman who's tried everything and found nothing that works.
It's for the mother who wants to protect her children's skin.
It's for the grandmother who wants to hold her granddaughter close without worry.
It's for the husband and grandsons who deserve gentle, natural grooming too.
It's for anyone who looks at Australia's breathtaking landscape and feels — like I do — that this place deserves to be protected.
My husband Dino, our children, and our grandchildren are my greatest inspiration. This brand exists because of them, and for them.
