The Terra Botanics Story

From a lifetime of movement to a brand built for Health & Rejuvenation.

I’m Ethan — founder of Terra Botanics, lifelong athlete, and current osteopathy student based in Byron Bay.

 

 

Sport has shaped pretty much every chapter of my life.

I started playing soccer at the age of 5 and have been playing since, adding futsal, tennis, gym, and eventually Muay Thai to the mix.

Like anyone who trains hard, I earned my fair share of injuries: fractured bones, sprained ankles, torn ligaments, & the usual wear-and-tear.

 

Growing up, my parents leaned into holistic health.

When I got injured, they’d reach for comfrey and arnica balms

 — these earthy, herbal blends that felt like they came out of some secret family kit. They’d tell me the herbs had “superpowers.” At that age, I believed every word 

"Me at 11, after winning my first indoor soccer tournament."

.

As my interest in holistic health grew, so did my frustration with modern products.

Most balms I found were packed with:

• Synthetic fragrances
• Preservatives
• Alcohol
• Chemical solvents

And all sorts of other ingredients that do not align with holistic principles.

 

I wanted something honest, clean and time-tested which I could use on my own body with full confidence.

 

 

 

 

So I created Terra Botanics.

Our formulas go back to basics:
Grass-fed tallow, slow herbal infusions, and mineral-rich simplicity.
This is skincare for athletes, movers, workers — anyone who pushes their body and needs real support.

Terra Botanics isn’t just a brand.

It’s the continuation of a lifetime of movement, injury, and rebuilding — shaped by sport, guided by holistic health, and crafted with ingredients I trust.

Thanks for being here.
I hope these products serve you as well as they’ve served me.
