A Note of Gratitude from Iles Formula

A TIME FOR GRATITUDE

There is a moment each year that invites us to pause. 

To reflect on what has quietly taken root. The seeds planted months ago, sometimes years before. In our work, in our relationships, in the rituals we return to each day. 

Before we move forward, we wanted to say something simple:

We are grateful.

THANKFUL FOR YOU

To our clients, our salons, our community.

To every individual who has trusted ILES FORMULA with their hair.

To the stylists who bring our formulas to life behind the chair.

To those who have shared their experiences, the transformations, and the quiet moments after that first cleanse.

You are not simply part of this brand. You are the reason it exists.

THE BEAUTY OF THE AMAZON RAINFOREST

We are deeply grateful for the richness of the Amazon Rainforest. A place where nature exists in its most intelligent form: abundant, balanced, and purposeful.

From Tucuma Seed Butter to Pracaxi Oil, to the vegetal root extracts found within our Haute Performance Signature Collection, these ingredients are not chosen lightly.

They are sourced with care, guided by respect.

Respect for the land, for its biodiversity, and for the generations who have understood their value long before us.

When approached with intention, the forest provides us with what is needed.

And we listen.

FAMILY-OWNED + OPERATED

We are grateful to remain family-owned.

To create without compromise. To formulate without shortcuts. To make decisions guided not by scale, but by standard. Every choice begins with one question: Is this good enough for the hair? This philosophy lives within every formula.

Working alongside people we trust, and care for deeply, is something we do not take lightly.

It is the foundation of everything we build

BLESSED BY BOTANICALS

Our story with botanicals began long before the brand.

Our founder Wendy Iles grew up in Tasmania, surrounded by her father’s opium poppy flower fields. From an early age, she understood that botanicals were not simply ingredients. They were powerful, purposeful, and deeply connected to the land they came from.

And when the time came to deepen that understanding, she knew exactly where she was going— The Amazon Rainforest. This early awareness evolved into something more refined. An appreciation not only for nature’s potency, but for how it can be thoughtfully integrated into modern, high-performance haircare.

At ILES FORMULA, botanicals are not included for narrative. They are selected for performance, balanced with precision, and designed to support the foundation of healthy hair, beginning at the scalp.

This philosophy extends across the collection, including treatments such as our award-winning Scalp + Hair Rejuvenating Booster where scalp care works in harmony.

WITH GRATITUDE

From Tasmania to the Amazon Rainforest, from the salon to your hands, everything we create is connected by a single philosophy:

That care, intention, and understanding will always yield something more meaningful.

We are grateful to share this journey with you.

With gratitude,
The ILES FORMULA Family
