What began as a conversation between two friends became a two-year journey to develop the first-of-its-kind, science-backed range of naturally effective skincare created specifically for peri to post-menopausal skin. Metamorphosis goes beyond being a skincare range; it's created a space where open dialogue around menopause is not only encouraged but celebrated. Designed by natural skincare pioneer Vanessa Gray Lyndon, Metamorphosis fills a crucial void in beauty and wellness by blending transparency, efficacy and purpose for women in menopause.
Vanessa, already known for her award-winning natural formulations under the Vanessa Megan brand, began researching hormonal changes and how they impact the skin on a biochemical level. Her findings were sobering: decreased estrogen levels during menopause significantly affect collagen production, lipid structure and overall skin function. She began collaborating with GPs, naturopaths and specialists to understand the true scope of what women experience during and beyond menopause and how to create effective, natural solutions that support both the skin and the endocrine system.
Each Metamorphosis product is rooted in over two years of research into how declining estrogen affects the skin, body and the wellbeing of women experiencing peri to post menopausal symptoms on a biochemical level. From collagen loss and extreme dryness to open pores, hot flushes, vaginal discomfort, brain fog and skin pigmentation, Metamorphosis addresses symptoms that are too often dismissed as simply "aging."
The brand’s focus is high-performance formulations powered by phytoestrogens plant-derived compounds that gently support hormonal balance without the need for synthetic HRT patches, which can carry unwanted side effects such as headaches, menopause fatigue and mood swings. Vanessa’s expertise in natural ingredients led her to use plant estrogen boosters like red clover, wild yam, and pumpkin seed oil. These ingredients absorb through the skin to help restore its balance, resilience and vitality. Resulting in naturally effective skincare that delivers transformational results.
Vanessa’s approach to creating Metamorphosis was guided by one core belief, that nature already holds the answers, and science helps unlock them. Every product is the result of a meticulous fusion of traditional wisdom and biochemical research. Each one carefully designed to restore the skin’s natural function and support hormonal balance from peri to post menopause and beyond.
Rather than masking symptoms, Metamorphosis works to replenish what’s lost. Phytoestrogens support the skins dermal layer where estrogen is most active, while nutrient-rich botanicals rebuild hydration, elasticity, and clarity. Each product is clinically crafted, trial-tested, and made to evolve with your skin’s changing needs helping you look and feel empowered through every phase of transformation.
Metamorphosis includes a complete collection of targeted solutions that support the most common and commonly overlooked concerns of menopausal skin:
Dryness
Dullness
Heightened sensitivity
Hormonal breakouts
Pigmentation
Reduced elasticity
What sets these formulas apart is their ability to adapt to the skin’s evolving needs throughout all stages of menopause. Dermatological trials and customer focus groups revealed impressive improvements across multiple skin concerns. One of the most surprising outcomes was the noticeable reduction in unwanted facial hair, a concern often tied to estrogen loss.
Thanks to the topical use of phytoestrogens, Metamorphosis replenishes estrogen at the dermal level, offering a natural and effective solution where others have fallen short. This result, praised even by naturopaths, highlights just how powerfully nature-based science can deliver meaningful transformation.
Since its launch, Metamorphosis has become more than a trusted menopausal skincare brand. It’s grown into a platform that is driving meaningful change in how we speak about menopause, filling a long-standing gap in the beauty and wellness industry. Metamorphosis has not only earned multiple awards and global recognition, but also helped open the door to a more open, supportive, and informed dialogue around menopause in New Zealand and beyond.
With Vanessa at the helm, Metamorphosis is breaking taboos and replacing silence with science-backed solutions, encouraging more women to embrace this transformational time with clarity, confidence, and community.
It felt beautifully aligned that just as Intentionally Natural launched, Metamorphosis was also born. We all deserve to be met with clarity, transparency and care when entering menopause with truly natural, proven solutions to support women from peri to post-menopause.
We are proud to be New Zealand’s home of this groundbreaking range and to champion a range of skincare that doesn’t just meet the needs of menopausal skin, but honours this powerful life stage naturally with clarity, confidence and care.
