Formulated with excellent clean ingredients.
Polly's Farm products are handcrafted by Kimberley Kidger on the Mornington Peninsula, Victoria, Australia. All products are tested on friends rather than animals, utilising pure natural botanicals and locally foraged or organically grown ingredients from their farm. Ingredients are sourced from suppliers aligned with ethical values and all products are vegan-friendly, except for one fragrance-free Castile Goat's Milk Soap made with milk from local pet goats.
Polly's Farm uses recycled PET for its lotion and hand wash bottles while aiming to transition to cardboard bottles as technology improves. The products are palm oil-free, and all packaging is designed for reuse, recycling, or composting. Website orders are shipped in plain craft boxes with compostable wood wool and include a card with eco-friendly packaging ideas. Additionally, orders are sent in compostable mailers. Some ingredients are grown organically or foraged locally and the Botanical Candles come with a seed card for planting thyme. Soap bags can be repurposed for jewelry or electronics and soap shavings are being transformed into DIY soap-making kits. Most products are vegan-friendly, except for one Castile Goat's Milk Soap sourced from local pet goats. All printed materials are on FSC Accredited paper and use vegetable-based inks, making them recyclable, compostable and biodegradable.
Polly's Farm engages in social responsibility by gifting surplus botanicals to the community at local markets. Additionally, they donate soap shavings to Saltbush Balnarring, a local retreat, for use in holiday craft programs aimed at high-needs children who are residing with their parents for respite.

Product Reviews by Experts


I love how soft and fragrant the body lotion is! The fragrance combo is fresh, herbal and long-lasting and the formulation is easily-absorbed by the skin. I also really love the citrus medallions that come in the packaging. For a small business, this brand sure punches above its weight with their zero-waste approach and community-building. It’s probably one of the nicest zero-waste body care products I’ve ever experienced. I also love the line “tested on friends, not fauna”!


It moisturises well and gives off a mild, fresh scent. The lotion feels moisturising without being greasy and absorbs quickly. I like that it’s handmade on the Mornington Peninsula using mostly Australian-grown ingredients and they’re clear about being palm-free, vegan-friendly and printed on FSC-accredited packaging. Their move toward recycled PET bottles and plans for refill pouches also shows that they’re actively addressing packaging impact.


Lemon Myrtle is a winner for this hand lotion. It smells clean and soaks into the skin quickly, leaving your hands nourished but not sticky. Being able to use products that were made just two hours from home is amazing from a sustainability standpoint- locally made beats imported from overseas every time in my opinion!
