NATIVE ZEST BODY WASH honey myrtle & kunzea
Inspired by the wild gullies of the Rylstone High Country, our Native Zest Body Wash is a tribute to the resilience of Australian flora. We’ve formulated this wash to provide a high-clarity cleanse that invigorates the senses while respecting the skin's delicate biology.
At the heart of this wash is a our "Myrtle" blend: Honey Thyme Myrtle & Lemon Myrtle. Together, they deliver a refreshing, citrus-herbal aroma that cuts through the heat and dust of the day. We’ve grounded these bright notes with Native Kunzea, a botanical valued for its unique anti-inflammatory properties, ensuring the skin feels calm and revived after every wash.
Instead of harsh sulfates, we use gentle, sugar-derived cleansers and a high concentration of vegetable glycerin to ensure your skin feels pristine and soft, not stripped.
Most commercial washes are too alkaline, which can disrupt your skin barrier. We’ve balanced this formula to a pH of 5.5—the exact pH of healthy skin—to ensure that while you’re washing away the elements, you’re honouring your skin’s natural protective layer.
All our products are manufactured in small batches, using essential oils grown at our property in country NSW. Slight variations can occur, due to the nature of essential oils and small batch manufacturing.

Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate (Amino Acid-Derived): An ultra-gentle, vegetable-based cleanser derived from coconut oil and natural amino acids. Chosen for its superior mildness, it creates a soft, creamy foam that respects the skin’s delicate moisture balance and leaves hair feeling conditioned, supple, and clean without the use of sulfates or petroleum-based synthetics.
Decyl Glucoside (Sugar-Derived): A biodegradable, non-ionic cleanser derived from corn and coconut. This gentle botanical agent is chosen for its ability to create a joyful, airy foam while maintaining the skin’s natural moisture barrier, ensuring a refreshed and soft finish for even the most sensitive skin.
Saccharide Isomerate (Plant-Derived): A 100% natural “moisture magnet” that binds to the skin’s keratin to create a long-lasting hydration reservoir. Unlike traditional hydrators, it stays with the skin and hair even after rinsing, ensuring a deeply supple, dewy, and resilient finish that lasts for days.
Lemon Myrtle (Backhousia citriodora): A powerhouse native that provides potent cleansing qualities and a crisp, uplifting citrus aroma.
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.
Polysorbate 20 (Sorbitol-Derived): A gentle, non-ionic solubilizer that acts as a botanical bridge. It allows our pure essential oils to blend seamlessly into water-based formulas, ensuring every drop is perfectly infused and crystal clear without the use of harsh alcohols.
PEG-120 Methyl Glucose Dioleate (Corn-Derived): An exceptionally gentle, high-performance thickener derived from corn. It is chosen for its ability to transform our sulfate-free cleansers into a rich, honey-like texture that glides over the skin and hair, providing a luxurious sensory experience while reducing the potential for irritation.
Tocopherol (Vitamin E): A naturally derived antioxidant that protects the skin and our botanical formulas from free-radical damage.
