Surprising Results with Natural Ingredients

Gotta admit I was curious about trying something with buchu and rooibos in it. 🌿 Never thought I'd care about what's in a moisturising product but my skin's been feeling a lot softer lately. It's kinda rich but doesn't leave that greasy feeling which is a win. Not a miracle worker or anything but definitely noticed some subtle improvements. Would've given it 5 stars if it absorbed just a bit quicker still pretty happy though.

Love the Natural Feel!

I’ve been using this moisturizer for a few weeks and I'm really liking it! The buchu and rooibos combo feels so refreshing and natural on my skin. It’s helped with some dryness that’s been bugging me for ages. I love that it absorbs quickly and doesn’t leave a greasy feel, but I do wish it had a bit more staying power throughout the day. Overall, pretty impressed with it so far!

Frequently
Asked
Questions

How to use a lotion bar?
  1. Start with clean, dry skin
    For best results, apply your lotion bar after a shower or bath when your skin is warm and dry. This helps the natural oils absorb more effectively.

  2. Warm the bar between your hands
    Hold the solid lotion bar between your palms for a few seconds. Your body heat will soften the surface, allowing it to glide smoothly across your skin.

  3. Glide directly onto skin
    Rub the bar directly onto areas that need moisture — like arms, legs, elbows, heels, or anywhere feeling dry. The nourishing butters and oils will melt on contact, leaving a silky layer behind.

  4. Massage in the moisture
    Use your hands to gently massage the lotion into your skin. It absorbs quickly without feeling greasy, and the botanical ingredients like Buchu oil help to soothe and balance.

  5. Reapply as needed
    Use daily or whenever your skin needs a boost. It’s especially great in dry weather, after sun exposure, or before bed for overnight nourishment.

  6. Store in a cool, dry place
    Keep your lotion bar in a tin or on a dish, away from heat or direct sunlight, to maintain its shape and texture. It’s perfect for travel or keeping in your bag for moisture on the go.
How is this different from a regular lotion?

Traditional lotions are up to 80% water and packaged in plastic. Ours is solid, waterless and waste-free, packed with skin-loving butters and oils for deep, long-lasting hydration.
What skin types is this suitable for?

All skin types; even sensitive. Our ingredients are chosen to calm, soothe and hydrate without irritation.
Can I use this on my face?

Yes, though it’s designed primarily for body use. If you have sensitive or acne-prone facial skin, we recommend patch testing first as it’s richer than a typical face cream.
Is it scented?

Yes, but never overpowering. We use essential oils and botanical extracts, not synthetic fragrances. The scent is gentle and skin-safe.
How to store lotion bar?

To keep your solid moisturiser bar in perfect condition, it’s best to store it somewhere cool, dry, and out of direct sunlight. A well-ventilated soap dish, tin, or reusable container works perfectly; especially one that allows any moisture to drain away between uses. This prevents your bar from going soft or melting prematurely.

If you’re travelling or storing it long-term, let the bar dry completely before popping it into a sealed container or wrap it in wax paper. Avoid leaving it in the shower or near running water, as it can absorb moisture and lose its firmness. With the right care, your moisturiser bar will stay fresh, solid, and ready to nourish your skin to the very last swipe.
