YUNG BOD

YUNG BOD aka YB is an Australian-owned skincare and beauty brand for mums and mums-to-be, founded by Kristy Young. We keep it real because being a mum isn’t all sunshine and rainbows. We’re judgment-free, because every woman is her own person, just doing her best. And we’re here for your motherhood experience because we know it’s a damn effin’ rollercoaster. Our Birth Story. Every mum has her own birth story. The overwhelmingly emotional first moments together, floods of tears, or not feeling much at all. Kristy’s centres around finding out the hard way that her first son had a very big, breeched head – so he was delivered via caesarean section. As it happens, large noggins run in the family. Her second son was also blessed with a generously sized head and she opted for a c-section. Thanks, boys. After both of her c-section births, Kristy noticed she didn’t receive much scar aftercare advice. But as the skincare expert she is (and she has a Bachelors degree in Science to prove it), she knew that dealing with it sooner rather than later would offer the best chance of reducing her scar’s appearance. We pride ourselves on being inclusive. YUNG BOD welcomes anyone who’s exploring motherhood, whatever that means to you. Like pretty much every mum, Kristy has felt judged by other people at times. She is dedicated to changing attitudes around pregnancy, birth, and motherhood – and that all starts by talking about it. From fertility and postpartum depression, to bottle feeding and c -sections, YUNG BOD is an open, honest community where nothing is taboo. We are delighted to align ourselves with likeminded organisations, like Perinatal Anxiety & Depression Australia (PANDA) or Red Nose Australia (an organisation that raises funds and awareness of sudden infant death syndrome, referred to as SIDS).
