Made in NZ. EANZ Gold Supporter.
A handful of natural ingredients on a tallow — so it cleans without stripping like most acne washes do.
Body skin is different from facial skin. The pores on the back, shoulders, and chest are larger and produce more oil. That oil gets trapped under clothing and sweat — which is why so many kiwis struggle with body blemishes that face washes don't reach.
Activated charcoal binds to the excess oil sitting in those pores and lifts it out. Tea tree, a well-known traditional ingredient, soothes reactive skin and helps it look calmer.
Most acne washes strip skin with sulphates and harsh foaming agents. That makes skin reactive, which often makes the problem worse. This bar cleans gently — a handful of natural ingredients, no SLS, no synthetic fragrance.
No SLS, no parabens, no synthetic fragrance, no fillers. The full label is on the back of every bar — same as what's shown above.
Use daily. Most kiwis find it works best as part of a regular shower routine.

No. Most acne washes use SLS and harsh foaming agents that strip the skin. This bar is built on a tallow, which is naturally moisturising. It cleans without stripping.
Yes. Many customers use it on both face and body. Patch test first if you have very sensitive skin.
It's made with sensitive skin in mind. No SLS, no synthetic fragrance, no parabens. We're a Gold Supporter of the Eczema Association of NZ — their experts have screened our products for commonly flaring ingredients. Always patch test first.
No. The charcoal is fully suspended in the soap and rinses cleanly off skin and surfaces.
A 120g bar typically lasts 4–6 weeks with daily use, depending on shower length and how many areas you're using it on.

I have such dry and sensitive skin and have tried so many different brands — this product is the winner for me! The natural soap then the honey moisturiser is my repeated order.
