Skin Care

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 30ml 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.

How to Use

Apply liberally and evenly to exposed skin before sun exposure. Reapply every 2 hours or after swimming—this is not completely waterproof.

FAQs

1. Is SkinSmart safe for babies?
Yes—SkinSmart is formulated with non-irritating, natural ingredients and non-micronised zinc oxide, making it gentle enough for even young children and delicate skin. 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.

2. Can it replace my sunscreen and foundation?
Absolutely! This tinted lotion protects skin from UVA/UVB rays while delivering a light, natural coverage—you can skip both your sunscreen and foundation.

3. Is SkinSmart water-resistant or waterproof?
While SkinSmart offers effective broad-spectrum sun protection, it’s not completely waterproof—reapply after swimming or heavy sweating for continued coverage. 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.

Why is SkinSmart made in small batches?
SkinSmart is handcrafted in small batches to ensure each lotion is fresh, potent, and made with highest quality botanical ingredients—never mass-produced.

Did you stop making SkinSmart before? Yes, 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! Worth it!
