Product Reviews by Experts


I loved the packaging colour and the texture, it’s thick yet blends easily into the skin. I also really appreciated that it can be used on both the face and hands. It’s been great for my sensitive skin and especially helpful for calming my teenagers eczema related dryness and flaking. I’m impressed by the brand’s dedication to environmental consciousness, ensuring that sustainability is woven into every stage of production. It’s reassuring to know that such care is taken not just in the ingredients used but in how the products are made. Their adherence to the Australian Code of Good Manufacturing Practice also speaks volumes about their commitment to quality, safety and integrity, offering customers products they can trust and feel good about using.


This was a really lovely cream to use. It’s calming and gentle, absorbs nicely and feels nourishing without being too heavy. I liked that it includes mango seed butter and oat, which are great for soothing skin. The scent is light and the packaging is clear and easy to use. They’ve made a real effort with sustainability, working with a solar-powered facility and using natural and organic ingredients. It’s great to see a smaller brand keeping things clean and community-focused while still delivering a solid product.


It is beautiful!! I immediately applied it to some dry patches on my skin and they instantly felt nourished and less dry. It was a beautiful cream to rub in to without leaving a heavy or an oily feel. It was like I could feel my skin barrier improving, I appreciate that they try and reduce their carbon footprint by using solar panels and Ive followed the brands journey from the beginning so know they started off using glass bottles but too many were getting broken in transit. Changing to recycled plastic is still a great option and I appreciate that they wanted to reduce waste. I also loved the one card with instructions for all of their creams as way of educating customers and showing the range. It was simple and effective!
