Some brands are built on trends. Thirteen Degrees South was built on something older — the intelligence of a landscape that has been perfecting its chemistry for millennia.
The story behind Thirteen Degrees South begins with a relationship. Founder & Managing Director, Mark Provost formed a rare friendship with the last known medicine man of the Simpson Desert — a man who led him on expeditions through some of the most remote country in Australia, revealing plants of extraordinary resilience and medicinal depth, and sharing knowledge held by his people for generations. That experience was formative. It made clear that the intelligence of this land was something the world deserved access to — and that bringing it forward demanded integrity above all else.
Mark continues that work today from his base in the Tanami Desert, NT — developing formulas and sourcing ingredients in direct proximity to the landscape that inspires them.
“The intelligence held by this land is something the world needs access to — and it deserves to be brought forward with integrity.”
— Mark Provost, Founder
Thirteen Degrees South was founded on three principles: honest ingredients, rigorous science, and total transparency. Every formulation is developed under strict laboratory conditions and produced in small, quality-verified batches — with exacting scientific oversight at every stage. Every ingredient is traceable. Every claim, substantiated.
“We are not following the industry’s lead. We are building something where the integrity of the ingredient is non-negotiable, and the results speak without embellishment.”
— Mark Provost, Founder
