In honor of International Women's Week (#IWD2021), the Zabecca Living Girls are celebrating female founders with the hope to increase visibility of those that #choosetochallange the beauty industry in order to provoke discussions and positive change.

Whether it be eco-friendly packaging, sustainable processes, waste reduction, consumer inclusivity or charitable donations, we believe that many of the brands Zabecca Living supports, and in particular the women behind them, have the power to create positive changes be strong role model for future generations.

AL.IVE BODY - Alisa and Lysandra Fraser

Al.ive Female Founders

Design Duo and The Block All-Stars, Alisa and Lysandra Fraser's personal care brand, al.ive body, is for the conscious consumer who values high-end design and product integrity.

The earth-inspired range, including naturally derived hand and body wash and lotion, is proudly Australian made, developed using the finest natural ingredients, including essential oils and native botanical extracts, and is palm-oil free. The unique interlocking bottles, personally designed by Alisa and Lysandra, are also 100% recyclable. 

The name, al.ive body, was inspired by the twins’ passion for environmental causes that help keep our planet ‘alive’. As designers and entrepreneurs, Alisa and Lysandra are committed to positively influencing the personal care landscape, as well as raising awareness and giving back to the planet. The pair have also partnered with environmental charity One Tree Planted, in which they pledge to plant a tree in Australia for every product purchased.
