Body washes, scrubs, lotions, hand creams, deodorants and oils, developed and filled in Melbourne for brands that want Australian native botanicals and formulas that hold up in the heat.
Brief usCombinations we know work: a formulation from the catalogue and the actives it carries well.
Lemon myrtle at up to 1% gives a clean lemon scent, and glycerin keeps skin soft after rinsing. Citral fades in heat and light, so the wash goes into opaque bottles.
Squeeze bottleSugar and finely milled roasted wattleseed buff away dry flakes in a macadamia oil and shea base that leaves skin soft. Natural exfoliants keep it clear of the NSW microbead ban.

JarUrea softens rough, dry skin, while lactic acid adds moisture and buffers the lotion near pH 6 to slow urea breakdown. The formula is stability-tested at 40 °C.
Pump bottleGlycerin draws water into skin, shea butter holds it there and allantoin softens rough patches on hands washed often. Aluminium tubes are crimped after filling and checked for lacquer compatibility.

TubeTea tree oil helps keep underarms clean and fresh, and lemon myrtle adds scent at a trace, inside IFRA's citral limit. Both are heat-sensitive, so this is a cold-filled roll-on.
Roll-onMacadamia oil resists rancidity and leaves a soft sheen, with vitamin E to protect it and bisabolol for comfort. Bath versions should carry a slip warning.

| Claims | Deodorants are cosmetics, and antiperspirants that work only through aluminium, zinc or zirconium salts are excluded from TGA regulation; claims to treat skin conditions make a product therapeutic, so check any excessive-sweating (hyperhidrosis) claim with the TGA. |
|---|---|
| Antibacterial | Washes and hand creams can claim 'antibacterial' only within the TGA's narrow Excluded Goods conditions, and 'antiseptic' makes a tea tree or lemon myrtle product therapeutic. |
| Microbeads | State bans, starting with NSW in November 2022, cover plastic microbeads in rinse-off products, so scrubs use ground seed, sugar or salt instead. |
| Native exports | Kakadu plum is not on the EPBC exempt list, so exporting the fruit or extract may need a wildlife trade permit; wattleseed is exempt as seed, but check ground seed and extracts with DCCEEW. Macadamia and lemon myrtle oil are exempt. |
| EU allergens | For EU export, citral from lemon myrtle must be named on the label above 0.001% in leave-on or 0.01% in rinse-off products, and IFRA caps it by product type, as EU law also does from 1 January 2027. |
