Hark & Zander HempTonic Face Oil is perfect for all skin types. It can seem counterintuitive to add oil to oily skin but there’s a scientifically proven reason why it works so well. Get the full story from our blog.

Hark & Zander HempTonic Face Oil is 100% natural. We don’t add a single synthetic ingredient to preserve it which means no nasties go on your skin. This in turn means the shelf life for HempTonic Face Oil is three years from production. 

Once opened, HempTonic Face Oil will last for three to six months. But we think you’ll love it so much as your primary skincare solution that you’ll go through it much faster. If you use it morning and night as your cleanser and moisturiser, you’ll be replenishing your supply monthly. 

We hope to launch a points system for those who replenish their stock regularly so sign up to our H&Z Newsletter and you’ll be the first to know when we offer it, plus you’ll get 10% off your first purchase .

Yes! We have gone to great lengths to ensure our environmental footprint is as small as we can make it. 

a. Product containers

We use glass and aluminium wherever possible to avoid all the plastic we possibly can. If you live in an area that sorts its glass, the blue glass gets recycled with the green. On the rare occasion if we have had to use plastic because there hasn’t been a viable alternative we make sure it can be recycled and only use one sort of plastic (no mixed plastics) to help with this. We’ve even gone so far as to ensure the label is made from natural fibres consciously avoiding synthetic, non-biodegradable, (cheaper) options.

b. Product boxes

We have created our beautiful boxes with FSC certified sustainably sourced carboard that is 100% recyclable. We have even gone so far as to insist on an adhesive-free box to make recycling easier. We affectionately call it our origami box and we love it!

c. Delivery retail boxes

This part of the process is invisible to end customers. When products are bottled and boxed they are usually shrink wrapped in a generous amount of plastic to make them ready for dispatch. We sourced a different solution and chose to pack our Hark & Zander products in brown shipping boxes instead. 

d. Courier satchels

We only use 100% recyclable or home compostable bags.

Our commitment to sustainability extends beyond just the packaging. We are also fully NZ owned and operated, we are committed to supporting other local businesses, we use 100% natural ingredients, and we are cruelty free.

HempTonic Face Oil will sooth, replenish and restore your skin. It is made for all skin types and here’s why:

a. It won’t clog your pores as the ingredients in the face oil are low on the Comedogenic Scale. Our biggest ingredient is, of course, hempseed oil which is a 0 out of 4 on the Comedogenic Scale placing in it the lowest (best) category for the skin. In comparison, coconut oil is a 4 and is therefore more likely to clog your pores.

b. Each ingredient has been carefully selected to rejuvenate skin while protecting sensitive and blemish-prone skin. It’s the blend of ingredients that make HempTonic truly sublime for your skin.

c. It’s made with calming ingredients to sooth the skin and reduce redness.

d. It’s packed with antioxidants, fatty acids - omega-3, -6 and -9 and vitamins like E & C.

e. Squalane was added for its anti-aging benefits and to detoxify the skin. It’s a lipid we produce naturally but our production of it reduces with age - this is your booster!

f. Our ingredients are 100% naturally sourced and scientifically proven. We don't use fillers or artificial fragrances, colours or preservatives... NO NASTIES HERE!
