Wet Season Bestsellers

Back by public demand after we stopped making this very complex and messy-to-make product! It requires ALL our pots and the zinc is immensely difficult to clean off! 

An all natural non-irritating tinted lotion designed to give physical protection from harmful UVA and UVB rays as well as general environmental damage from harsh Australian conditions. Use it as a sunscreen for prolonged sun exposure. Safe for babies. Not completely waterproof - reapply after swimming. The main active ingredient is zinc oxide at 8 per cent - this is not micronized, so it cannot cross the skin barrier and neither does it give a ghosting effect, but it may feel slightly chalky on. The green and black tea with the white zinc oxide in Skinsmart give the product a beige colour - it can double as a natural foundation. To date we have never encountered anyone sensitive to this product, including very young children. It is the best we can do to provide a completely natural, non chemical sunscreen. Great for all over protection but you might want to add the old fashioned thick zinc cream on your nose if you are in the sun all day.

For prolonged sun exposure -
Apply liberally every 2 hours and after swimming (not waterproof)

Our radical solution to combat the plague proportions of mozzies which can make life difficult in the Kimberley from February to May, at the end of the Wet and, of course, for similar conditions throughout Australia at various times. We wanted a large quantity natural but effective Pestoff trigger spray which can be kept at the front door and easily applied all over whenever gardening, building and other outdoor activities are sabotaged by clouds of mozzies. So here it is:

An all-natural herbal, neem and essential oil spray concentrate to discourage bites, in tropical strength. And feedback is unanimous that it works! The critters buzz around, but won't land on sprayed skin. We made a concentrate in a 100ml glass bottle which can easily be sent by mail order. You don't pay the freight for water. This concentrate makes up 500ml of spray. You can either purchase the empty good quality trigger spray bottle from us or buy your own from a hardware or gardening store.

Simply pour the 100ml concentrate into your 500ml bottle, top up with water, shake well and use. If your bottle holds less, use 1 part concentrate to every 4 parts water (eg. 20ml or 1 tablespoon concentrate plus 80ml water for a 100ml bottle).

Contains: local plant extracts, neem oil, polysorbate 20 (harmless solubuliser to make the spray homogenous), pure essential oils of eucalyptus citriodora, spike lavender, geranium, kunzea and peppermint, phenoxyethanol & ethylheylglycerin (preservative). Active ingredients - neem and essential oils, plant extracts.

Our highly successful Pestoff Concentrate made into a smaller 125ml spray version for normal use or a 500ml trigger spray for heavy use requirements. 

A completely natural herbal spray designed to deter insects. It contains no DEET but has 3 active ingredient types - a local plant extract used traditionally to deter insects, neem oil (a natural insecticide) and proven insect deterring essential oils. It works perfectly well if used properly - it needs to be applied to all exposed skin and re-applied every 2 - 3 hours.

Use sparingly on children under 3 years as this spray contains 3% essential oils.  Some customers have told us anecdotally that Pestoff works if diluted again by half, so we suggest trying this on young children. As for all skin care products, patch test on the inner wrist first. Always cover up physically (eg. with muslin over a pram) if you can. Another idea is to use a thick layer of coconut oil (or a mineral oil which stays on the surface) on exposed skin so insects can't get a purchase on skin.

'Biting Midges in Broome' (handy hints for visitors & newcomers) pamphlet included in every purchase.

Contains: purified water, local plant extracts, neem oil, polysorbate 20 (harmless solubuliser to make the spray homogenous), pure essential oils of eucalyptus citriodora, spike lavender, geranium, kunzea and peppermint, phenoxyethanol & ethylheylglycerin (preservative).
