Our Ingredients

We have compiled a detailed list of all the raw ingredients we use in our skin care, so that you can decide whether they are suitable for you!

A

Allantoin

Extracted from the root of the comfrey plant, Allantoin is a non-irritating ingredient that soothes and protects the skin. It has the ability to help heal the skin and stimulate growth of new tissue. It effectively softens the skin and helps to protect it, making it suitable for sensitive skin in need of a little extra TLC. There is anecdotal evidence that it helps moisturise the skin by exfoliating and removing dead skin cells that prevent natural humectants from binding and retaining water in the skin. Allantoin has few known risk factors, so anyone can use it.  (Used in: Desert Lime and Davidson's Plum Face Serum, Hyaluronic Acid Face Serum with Lily Pilly, Papaya and Quandong Face Serum, Vitamin ACE Serum)

Aloe Vera Fruit Powder

Is full of nutrients that aid in acceleration of skin repair. Aloe Vera has moisturising, anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties, making it a versatile addition to many formulations. (Used in: Cucumber Toner with Malic Acid, Desert Lime & Davidson's Plum Face Serum, Hand Cream with Hemp Seed Oil, Hyaluronic Acid Face Serum with Lilly Pilly, Gardeners Hand Cream with Sweet Orange, Kakadu Plum and Cranberry Face Cream, Lilly Pilly Face Scrub, Mango Body Lotion, Mens' After Shave Lotion, Papaya and Quandong Face Serum, Patchouli and Sweet Orange Hand Cream, Quandong Face Cream with Hibiscus and Cranberry, Sebum Balance Face Cream, Vitamin ACE Serum)

Argan Oil

Argan oil is made from the kernels that grow on Argan trees, and are native to Morocco.  Moroccan women use Argan oil to protect their skin from sun damage, as antioxidants help to protect the skin against free radical damage by the sun.  It has many skin benefits. It's high level of Vitamin E  (a fat-soluble antioxidant) and helps to improve water retention in skin.  Anti-inflammatory properties make it a good oil for irritated skin, and it also has sebum regulating properties, making it suitable for acne prone skin. CAUTION- if have allergies to tree nuts, then ensure you do a skin patch test before using (Used in: Kakadu Plum and Cranberry Face Cream, Plump It Up Face Oil, Sebum Balance Face Cream)

B

Bamboo Powder

Works for your skin as a natural exfoliant, gently clearing away dead skin cells and opening pores.  As a plant fiber, bamboo powder is excellent for people with sensitive skin. It is less likely to irritate the skin as plastic-based scrubs can. It’s also better for the environment than plastic microbeads used in some scrubs, as bamboo biodegrades 500 times faster than plastic. 

The benefits of bamboo don’t end with it being a great exfoliant. Bamboo is also naturally rich in silica. Silica can boost collagen production, the protein that gives your skin fullness but naturally reduces as you age. 

Bamboo also has antibacterial properties, which help clean your skin not only of dirt and sweat but the bacteria these can often bring. As such, skin care products containing bamboo powder can treat and prevent breakouts by clearing the bacteria that cause them. Bamboo is naturally hypoallergenic, and unlikely to trigger an allergic reaction due to its low allergen status, especially in powdered form. However, if you have a grass allergy, you may want to test a product containing bamboo on your wrist to ensure no reaction. (Used in: Lilly Pilly Face Scrub)

Hemp Seed Oil

Hempseed oil is often referred to as 'hemp oil,' and is harvested by cold-pressing hemp seeds. Hemp oil is mostly unrefined, and is a clear green oil with an earthy scent.

It is perfect for most skin types as it can moisturise without clogging your pores. It can help to balance out oily skin, hydrating it and regulating the skin’s sebum production. Dryness can also cause your skin to over-produce oil, which in turn, can stimulate acne. Hemp Seed Oil can prevent dry skin without clogging pores. This helps reduce acne that’s caused by excess oil. 

One of the omega-6 fatty acids that hemp oil contains is gamma-linoleic acid, which acts as a powerful anti-inflammatory that simultaneously encourages skin growth and new cell generation. This can help to calm inflammation and irritation on the skin, including acne, whilst keeping the skin nourished and moisturized.(Used in: Calm It Down!, Hand Cream with Hemp Seed Oil, Mandarin and Vanilla Hand Cream, Mens' After Shave Lotion, Patchouli and Sweet Orange Hand Cream, Re-balance Face Oil, Refresh Hand Cream)

Hyaluronic Acid~ Low Molecular Weight

(known as Sodium Hyaluronate) is a naturally occurring sugar molecule that is in fact made by the body. The molecule is most often found in our skin, but also in our joints and eyes to keep these structures moist and lubricated. The unique acid molecule is classified as a humectant which means it attracts and binds to water to replenish the moisture in the skin and also prevents water from evaporating through the epidermis. Hyaluronic acid is so powerful, it can hold up to 1000 times its molecular weight. This means hydrated, dewier, and healthy-looking skin. Unfortunately, as we age the amount of Hyaluronic acid our body creates declines and so too does the hydration. Our skin then develops wrinkles, fine lines and dryness. Skincare products with a high-quality hyaluronic acid molecule can hydrate the skin and keep premature signs of ageing at bay. 

Hyaluronic acid has a molecular weight of 4000 to 8,000,000 daltons. The ingredient can be found in six different sizes. And depending on the molecular weight, the effect on the skin varies as well. Such that, hyaluronic acid with low molecular weight (LMW-HA), easily absorbs and penetrates the deepest layers of your skin. This means low molecular weight Hyaluronic acid (LMW-HA) provides intense moisture and sustained hydration deep in the skin. The effect of sodium hyaluronate can plump the skin and reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles. LMW-HA works for a longer-term, is more stable with lasting effects as opposed to HMW-HA. (Used in: Desert Lime and Davidson's Plum Face Serum,   Hyaluronic Acid Face Serum with Lilly Pilly, Lush Face Cream with Raspberry and Passionfruit, Papaya and Quandong Face Serum, Quandong Face Cream with Hibiscus and Cranberry, Vitamin ACE Serum)

Jojoba Beads

are tiny spherically shaped beads made from jojoba oil (also known as wax esters), and are an extremely gentle yet effective exfoliant as their round shape removes dead skin cells without the harshness of typical abrasives with sharp edges like nutshells or plastic beads, making them ideal for all skin types, including sensitive skin. They are also naturally more moisturising than regular exfoliators and help to maintain the skin's natural pH balance instead of stripping it from its natural oils, with the added benefit of being more environmentally friendly as they are completely biodegradable and from a renewable source. (Used in: Citrus Cream Cleanser with Jojoba Beads)

Jojoba Oil~

Kakadu Plum Extract

Kakadu plum is a potent source of vitamin C, which is key to reducing the visible signs of ageing. Kakadu plum contains up to 75 times more vitamin C than the well-known orange citrus fruit.

Natural vitamin C stimulates the growth of collagen in the skin to increase suppleness, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, plump the skin under the eye to reduce dark circles and improve skin elasticity contributing to a more youthful glow. 

The primary function of the skin’s outer barrier is to lock natural moisture in and keep environmental toxins out, and Kakadu Plum contains the natural nutrient gallic acid, which is a phenolic acid that works as an antioxidant protecting against free radical damage caused by the sun, pollution and environmental toxins. Free radicals attack cells causing dehydration and accelerating the signs of ageing. Gallic acid is also anti-bacterial, and assists with acne. Ellagic acid is an active nutrient found in Kakadu Plum, which inhibits melanogenesis to reduce coloured pigmentation and help to even skin tone. (Used in: Kakadu Plum and Cranberry Face Cream)
