NATIVE ZEST HAND & BODY MOISTURISER honey myrtle & kunzea
Designed to revive and nurture skin exposed to the drying effects of the Australian elements, Native Zest is a high-performance moisturiser that balances deep hydration with a bright, botanical profile.
The formula is built on a cooling Aloe Vera base and a dual-butter infusion of Shea and Mango Butter. This combination provides a rich, emollient texture that delivers essential fatty acids without leaving a heavy, occlusive residue. We use Jojoba Oil as our primary carrier because it closely mirrors the skin’s natural sebum, allowing the moisturiser to be absorbed beautifully while delivering botanical nutrients to where they are needed most.
To support brightness and skin vitality, we’ve included a potent dose of Kakadu Plum—the world’s richest source of Vitamin C—to help protect against environmental stressors and even out the appearance of skin tone. The scent and functional profile are driven by a blend of Lemon Myrtle and Kunzea Oil. Lemon Myrtle provides a crisp, purifying citrus note, while Kunzea is valued for its unique ability to comfort and calm the skin surface.
The result is a substantial, nutrient-dense cream that leaves the skin feeling balanced, luminous, and deeply nourished against the elements.

Mango Butter (Mangifera indica): A decadent, Australian grown sun-kissed butter that provides a unique “melt-on-contact” experience. Unlike heavier butters, it offers a light yet deeply replenishing touch, rich in natural vitamins and essential fatty acids.

Honey Thyme Myrtle (Melaleuca thymifolia): An exquisite Australian native that offers a delicate, honeyed sweetness balanced by a clean, herbal clarity. Often celebrated for its soothing and purifying properties, it is intentionally chosen to refresh the skin’s appearance and provide a grounding, soul-stirring aromatic experience.
Kunzea (Kunzea ambigua): Traditionally valued by Indigenous Australians for its soothing properties, Kunzea offers gentle purifying and antimicrobial benefits for a balanced skin environment.
Aloe Vera (Aloe barbadensis leaf juice): A moisture-rich botanical gem known for its profound soothing properties. It provides an immediate cooling and refreshing sensation, delivering a surge of hydration that helps the skin feel calm, replenished, and deeply nurtured. It is a cornerstone of our formulas for its ability to leave a soft, dewy finish without any weight.
Cetearyl Alcohol & Ceteareth-20 (Plant-Derived Emulsifier): A high-performance emulsifying system that creates a stable, elegant bond between our botanical oils and pure water. Chosen for its ability to produce a luxurious, non-greasy cream with a professional glide, it ensures our richer moisturizers feel deeply nourishing while remaining easily absorbed by the skin.
