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.

Everyone's skin is unique, and the right combination of products can vary from person to person. We often get asked about the best order to use our products for that radiant glow. 

Here are our recommended steps for optimal results. And don't forget, you can take our online skin quiz anytime to personalise your routine even further.

MORNING ROUTINE

Emulsifying Oil Cleanser: Start with our gentle emulsifying oil cleanser to remove impurities and prepare your skin.

  • As this is a concentrated natural oil, it will cleanse your skin without stripping it of its natural oils or disturbing your skin's natural pH levels. (You want to hold on to all that natural goodness!)
  • It is perfect for freshening up your face first thing in the morning & preparing it for the day ahead.
  • Some people prefer to wash their face with water in the morning and save the cleanser for the evening to wash off the day and makeup, that’s fine too!
  • It makes the perfect body soap replacement for those with really sensitive skin. Simply pump a few drops onto wet hands in the shower for targeted cleansing where it’s needed most.
  • It's a luxurious, silky oil lubricant perfect for shaving. Whether you're shaving your legs or face, it provides gentle protection without the need for harsh chemicals.

Gel Toner: Apply the gel toner to balance your skin’s pH, tighten pores and refresh your skin.

  • This refreshing gel toner, enriched with Aloe Vera, Hyaluronic Acid, Te Puke Kiwifruit & Green Tea Leaf extract, will leave your skin feeling revitalised and firm, giving you an instant wake-up boost—even on the sleepiest mornings. 
  • Apply and let the natural active ingredients work their tightening magic throughout the day. 
  • For an extra burst of coolness during warmer months, store it in the fridge. 
  • Remember, no need to rinse off—just let it soak in and enjoy the benefits!

Serum: Follow with the serum to target specific skin concerns and boost hydration.

  • This serum is your skincare powerhouse, working overtime with clinically proven actives to visibly reduce fine lines and wrinkles, leaving your skin smooth and rejuvenated. 
  • The first thing you'll notice is the invigorating scent of limoncello—crafted from essential oils extracted from lemon peel, blending luxurious fragrance with potent skin-loving ingredients.
  • Listen, there is nothing wrong with ageing, we are all doing it, but who says you have to endure dry skin, redness, or pigmentation? Our serum is packed with powerful actives, antioxidants and pollution-fighting elements like New Zealand Native Kawakawa, Red Seaweed, Mamaku Black Fern, Hyaluronic Acid, Gingko Biloba Leaf & Watermelon extracts, which work tirelessly to smooth, soothe, and restore your skin.
  • Harness the power of OceanDerMX®, a scientifically researched complex that lifts, firms, prevents moisture loss, and plumps your skin, delivering hydration and a youthful glow. Show your skin the love it deserves, and let these actives do the hard work for you.

Day Crème: Apply the day crème to moisturise and protect your skin throughout the day.

  • Our active formula is packed with scientifically researched skin-brightening botanicals and the innovative OceanDerMX® Balance&Brighten complex. 
  • This lightweight crème, enriched with New Zealand native Red Seaweed, Gotu Kola, Liquorice Root, and Mamaku/Black Fern, is rich in Vitamin C, working to visibly enhance your skin's vitality and glow.
  • Ideal for oily skin, this day cream has received rave reviews for keeping shine at bay throughout the day. If you have drier skin like some of our team, you might find it needs a bit more hydration. We personally love pairing it with our face oil when applying makeup or BB creams.

Face Oil: Finish with the face oil to seal in moisture and give your skin an extra layer of hydration and radiance. It also works as a great base for makeup, priming your skin for smooth and flawless application.

  • This miracle worker has the perfect balance of Omega 6 to Omega 3 fatty acids with an abundance of micronutrients.
  • Feed your skin a masterful blend of nature's finest oils like Hempheart Oil, Squalane, Vitamin E, Sea Buckthorn & Jojoba Seed Oil, for beautifully fresh, bright, and glowing skin. 
  • Perfect for sensitive skin with its non-irritating and non-comedogenic properties.
  • Our gorgeous face oil doubles as a handy oil cleanser when travelling - one less item to pack when needing to travel light!

SPF: Don’t forget to apply SPF as the final step in your morning routine to protect your skin from harmful UV rays.

EVENING ROUTINE

Emulsifying Oil Cleanser: Begin by cleansing to remove makeup, dirt, and oil accumulated during the day.

Gel Toner: Apply the gel toner to refresh and tone your skin.

Serum: Use the serum to deliver concentrated active ingredients deep into your skin.

Night Crème: Apply the night crème to nourish and repair your skin while you sleep. (We often receive reviews raving about how the gorgeous lavender essential oil not only soothes the skin but also helps people drift off into a peaceful sleep).

Face Oil:  End with the face oil for an extra layer of hydration and to lock in all the goodness from the previous steps.

Each product in our range is formulated with its own unique actives, so be sure to consider your specific skin concerns and choose the products that are right for you.

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!
