Wet Season Bestsellers

A light, effective, easily absorbed body lotion for normal to dry skin, made from beautiful WA honey myrtle essential oil & hydrosol, hydrolyzed boab protein, and fresh, happy sweet orange & may chang. Celebrating happy memories of West Australian sunsets at the beach over the vast Indian Ocean. 

At Cable Beach we so often see crowds of visitors and also locals, watching the sun setting over that endless Indian Ocean. In the Wet Season or buildup (October through March) the tropical skies can be quite spectacular, an endless source of joy and delight. And we are reminded that this event, watching the sun descend into the sea horizon, is iconic for all West Australians. We grew up either by the ocean or having holidays there. It is part of our psyche and we orient our sense of direction this way. It brings up feelings of nostalgia, clarity, satisfaction, love, feeling at-home, refreshed, grounded and relaxed.

To this beautiful warm lemony bushy essential oil we have added sweet orange, for even more warmth (the sun factor!) and some cold pressed lime for zing and freshness, like the sea air. In the body lotion we replaced the lime with may chang (litsea cupeba) to reduce any possible citrus phototoxic effects in stay-on skin products. We like may chang even better than lemongrass, and it has similar properties. 

From the heart, with some knowledge and experience thrown in.

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)
