Product Reviews by Experts
It was really nice learning more about Groote Eylandt. And knowing that the product itself is where the social and purposeful impact is coming from, on every level, is a masterful way to create a company that thrives on real impact. The product is clearly high grade and expertly created. And the branding is really perfect for fitting into that market while also landing the genuine earthiness of the brand and intent. Small ingredient list is a fave when it comes to body wash. And focusing on a little known, local bush medicine from the region that is functional is perfect. Every layer, from the indigenous ownership and governance, rural accessibility of financial independence, ingredient choice and profit reinvestment shows a business that isn’t trying to find purpose, but is literally purpose-first and builds the company around that larger desire and need for impact. You can feel that, and it makes it an easy brand to support.
The body wash cleanses the skin gently without leaving it feeling stripped or dry. The addition of traditional Mawilyaburna bush medicine combined with lemongrass and peppermint gives it a really naturally refreshing scent. Being a 100% Indigenous-owned and all-women-led social enterprise on Groote Eylandt is incredible. Their commitment to ethical wild harvesting on Country, creating culturally safe local employment, and reinvesting all profits back into community-led initiatives is an outstanding model of business.
Soothing bush medicine in your hand/body wash!? Who wouldn’t want that in their bathroom? A great product and great to see a little social enterprise creating beautiful opportunities for community and consumers. Really stoked to see a 100% Indigenous owned and all-women led social enterprise out of Groote Eylandt. Handmade, supporting community and selective harvesting practices – what a brilliant product.
