Clean Face
Clean Face is a mild but effective foaming cleanser for normal, oily or troubled skin. We are reluctant to make foaming cleansers for the face, since most of them strip oil from the skin and result in even more oiliness. However, we have made this one with mild and naturally derived surfactants (foaming detergents) and have added lots of emollients and sucrose cocoate, a naturally derived product which helps avoid stripping the lipid layer. You can feel the soft cushiony effect after using this cleanser - the face is not pitted and stripped, just well cleansed. The essential oils are chosen to gently disinfect and soothe troubled skin. However, even people with dry skin enjoy using this cleanser.
Use only a tiny amount!
Purified water, cocobetaine, decyl polyglucose, calendula, yucca and green tea extracts, glycerine, PEG 7 glyceryl cocoate, sucrose cocoate, conditiong thickener, phenoxyethanol, capryrlyl glycol & sorbic acid, pure essential oils of agonis fragrans, rosalina (melaleuca ericafolia), tea tree and Roman chamomile.
Gentle Foaming Cleanser for Dry Skin
We actually believe a non-foaming cleanser such as our organic ones or Creamy Avocado Cleanser is best for really dry or sensitive skin. But some people just don't believe that skin can be clean without bubbles! So, Gentle Foaming Cleanser for Dry Skin is our attempt to make a foaming cleanser which doesn't strip oil from the skin (which most do). We have made this one with very mild and naturally derived surfactants (foaming detergents) and have added lots of emollients and sucrose cocoate, a naturally derived product which helps avoid stripping the lipid layer. You can feel the soft cushiony effect after using this cleanser - the face is not pitted and stripped, just well cleansed. The essential oils and extracts are chosen to soothe dry skin.
Use only a tiny amount!
Purified water, sodium lauryl sarcosinate, sucrose cocoate, cocobetaine, PEG 7 glyceryl cocoate, chamomile, calendula, blackcurrant & green tea extracts, PEG 150 pentaerythrityl tetrastearate (veg. derived thickener), hydrolyzed oat protein, phenoxyethanol, caprylyl glycol & sorbic acid (paraben free preservative system), pure essential oils of rosewood, palma rosa, rose geranium, grapefruit, clary sage and Roman chamomile.
Hair & Scalp Conditioning Treatment
Regular price $40.00Long term use of cheap shampoos leads to dry, scaly, itchy scalp and dry lustreless hair. Revitalise the hair & scalp with this treatment which is also helpful for eczema and psoriasis sufferers.
We infused Australian macadamia oil with skin soothing herbs such as calendula, chamomile, chickweed, elderflower, burdock, mallow and yarrow, then added some other lovely oils, lots of Vitamin E, and pure essential oils.
Apply a tablespoon or two, depending on hair length, to scalp, massage well and comb through hair. Leave on as long as possible (plan this for a day at home). If leaving on overnight, put a shower cap on to protect sheets. In cold weather, wrap a warmed towel over the shower cap to facilitate penetration of the herbs and oils. Shampoo off and condition as usual.
Ingredients: Cold pressed macadamia oil infused with chamomile, calendula, chickweed, nettle, elderflower, burdock, mallow and yarrow, jojoba, borage seed, organic camellia, sesame and castor oils, Vitamin E mixed tocopherols, pure essential oils of lavender, rosemary, ylang ylang, geranium and carrot seed.
Healing Cream
Think of Healing Cream as an all purpose safe first aid cream for most skin problems - a herbal antiseptic, anti-inflammatory and healing cream for topical application to sores, bites, burns, stings, rashes, boils, cracked skin, eczema etc. Many people with eczema have found it useful as a harmless maintenance cream to keep skin moist and eczema at bay, reserving their use of cortisone creams for times when the eczema is really nasty.
It is also a restorative heavy duty hand cream for people who work with their hands (use at night as the cream is heavy, almost like an ointment). For instance, around Broome workers cleaning pearlshell need something effective to use on nicks and scratches and the effects of salt water.
Safe for children if used topically, not all over. Remember the cream contains just over 3 per cent pure essential oils. Ali & Smokey's 11 year old son used to have his own little 30 ml pot, ideal for scraped knees and other minor accidents.
The little 30 ml pot is a great one to take travelling as it's useful for such a wide variety of skin ailments.

Midgie Magic
Midgie Magic (formerly Sandfly Salve) was designed many years ago to help newcomers to Broome cope with biting midges and other insects. This cream is to put on after you have been bitten, as subsequent swelling, itching and infection following bites is the main problem. The cream helps to soothe, reduce the itch, disinfect and help bites with natural anti-inflammatory ingredients. Works also on bee stings and even, so we are told, on Scottish midgies!
Make sure you download the pamphlet "Biting Midges in Broome" for more information to understand and cope with them. If this link doesn't work, please get in touch with us so we can send you one via email.
Apply frequently until bites have healed. Can be used in conjunction with Herbal Skin Calm, a cooling soothing gel for all itchy skin conditions

Organic olive oil infused with organic chamomile and calendula, organic beeswax and shea butter.
Pestoff Spray
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 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 baby oil (a mineral oil which stays on the surface) on exposed skin so insects can't get a purchase on skin. See the Biting Midges in Broome pamphlet in the Downloads tab for other ideas for littlies.
A large 500ml bottle is available but due to its weight, we suggest you buy just the Pestoff Concentrate plus the empty 500ml trigger spray bottle and add your own water.
Pestoff Spray Concentrate
Pestoff Spray Concentrate in 100ml glass bottle.
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, benzylalcohol DHA (preservative). Active ingredients - neem and essential oils, plant extracts.

1) Cleanser
One pump will dispense an adequate amount for cleansing. Apply to dry or slightly damp face and gently massage in. Add water to create a softening, mildly lathering effect, then rinse clean. Alternatively, remove with cotton pad or tissue. Remember not to drag skin.
2) Toning Treatment Serum
Use one pump only – do not over apply. Rub between clean hands and smear thin layer over face and neck. Allow to dry before applying moisturiser.
3) Moisturiser
Only a tiny amount is needed of this rich, packed full of goodies cream – apply according to the level of dryness or humidity and the condition of skin. Generally a thin layer is adequate. Apply to entire face, being careful to pat around eye area and avoid drag.

Rosehip Regenerative Oil Blend
A gentle, luxurious oil blend designed to encourage skin cell regeneration in the treatment of scarring after surgery or accident, burns or just mature skin with environmental damage. Hence it doubles as a superb moisturiser if a few drops are applied to a damp face after cleansing.
The major ingredient is rosehip oil, a renowned cell regenerator, together with healing calendula infused oil and penetrating jojoba. We then add lots of anti-oxidant Vitamin E and some really beautiful cicatrizant and healing pure essential oils.
Apply sparingly to damp skin and gently massage in.
Skinsmart
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 moisturizing 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 an everyday protective moisturizer or 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. 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.
As a protective moisturiser -
Apply to clean skin each morning. Can be reapplied as needed.
For prolonged sun exposure -
Apply liberally every 2 hours and after swimming (not waterproof)

Super Serum
Super Serum is our ultimate serum for hydration, moisturising, replenenishing and repairing skin. It incorporates a multitude of goodies and we are excited to present our finest ever ingredients for skincare in one serum. This serum will be helpful for all ages, but particularly older people who may have lowered natural hydration, skin cell replacement, collagen production and have the most skin damage.
It has been our experience to feel a difference after just a few daily applications - skin stays hydrated, smooth and elastic all day. We would love to hear what you think of it!
How was it developed?
One day in the Luscious Ladies’ Lab Ali was truly inspired by the beautiful ingredients surrounding her: the mix of local boab and gubinge (Kakadu plum) oils so rich in vitamin C and long-term anti-wrinkle use by indigenous women, the Vitamins C ,B and E in the fridge, the amazing forms of hyaluronic acid now available to replenish what occurs naturally in younger skin, the olive squalane so like skin sebum, allantoin (an ancient skin soother from comfrey), aloe juice, beautiful pure rosewater hydrosol and the soothing healing extracts of calendula and chamomile, our wonderful orange Co-enzyme Q10, and the best essential oils for skin.
“Let’s just put all these best-of-the-best ingredients for anti-aging facial skin care together in a Super Serum!”
And so it was born.
We couldn’t believe the name hadn’t been widely used already. And we tested widely (on ourselves, human animals only!), with fabulous results. A word on hyaluronic – it occurs naturally in healthy skin but is produced more slowly as we age, and it holds over 1000 times its weight in moisture, so you can just imagine the hydration effect it provides. A squirt or two after cleansing in the morning seems to keep skin soft, moist, hydrated all day long!
We would love you to try this too and give us more feedback. We know it’s not cheap. But you can rest assured that the cost is primarily to cover fantabulous ingredients!
Update October 2021
We have reformulated the Super Serum with all the same wonderful active ingredients but a different emulsifying/gelling system to make it more stable in hot weather. The gellant we were using was a sophisticated one from the cooler northern hemisphere and just wasnt coping over time - separation began to occur, and could be repaired by shaking the container but was still not good enough in our view. So we have dropped this gellant and reformulated with a super mild natural emulsifier (cetearyl olivate + sorbitan olivate) with natural xanthan gum. We think it's much better. Let us know!
Active Ingredients:
Pure rosa damascena hydrosol (cooling, mildly astringent and suitable for dry, mature, sensitive and devitalised skin),
Vitamins B,C & E, Kimberley cold pressed Boab oil (reputed by Kimberley locals to diminish wrinkles)
Hyaluronic acid (the most effective natural humectant known, which holds 1000 times its weight in water!) We use a liquid multiplex version which contains all molecular weights from low to very high, so the effects include deep rehydration (low) to dense invisible protective film forming (high).
Allantoin (soothes and exfoliates dead skin cells)
Aloe juice (cooling)
Olive squalane (closest to natural skin sebum)
Gubinge in jojoba oil (high Vitamin C and penetration aiding jojoba)
Co-enzyme Q-10 (powerful naturally occurring anti-oxidant reducing skin damage and improving skin hydration)
Chamomile & calendula extracts (anti-inflammatory, soothing & healing)
Beautiful pure essential oils of rose otto (the best!), frankincense, myrrh, helichrysum, rose geranium, palma rosa & German chamomile.
