Oil-to-milk cleanser fans will adore this hemp-rich, botanically-powered Beauty Shortlist Awards 2023 winner - it’s a genuine game-changer, sweeping off all makeup (including the eye area) but it does much more. Natural retinoids boost cell turnover, antibacterial antioxidant hero rosemary balances and cleanses, while native New Zealander kawakawa leaf helps heal, strengthen and alleviate irritation. So if your skin doesn’t get along with a lot of cleansers, this is one to try soon.

I kept coming back to this beautiful cleanser. It’s rich and soothing on the skin, whilst gently, thoroughly cleansing. It leaves skin feeling really nourished and nurtured, plus the scent is delightfully moreish!

Their policies seem authentic and genuine. There has been as much consideration for what’s in it as well as what isn’t! Steadfastly pursuing local manufacture is also always so impressive (and something I think consumers are only increasingly connecting with and appreciating).

I love that this contains hemp oil, it is such a healing and beneficial oil for all skin types. It’s also lovely that this is a local brand with ingredients sourced locally too!

The bright blue and orange packaging of this HempTonic face oil is incredibly creative and fun – putting a smile on your face and lifting your spirits instantly. What’s more is the beautiful selection of seed oils and ylang ylang scent left me daydreaming of tropical islands. The oil is highly functional as both a cleanser and moisturising oil and could be used by those with even the most sensitive of skin.

I also love that Hark Zander is committed to making 100% natural products that are kind to people and the planet and are produced locally too. I am also impressed that the company is looking into becoming B-Corp certified.
