Founders
Behind Real World
"We couldn't find a solution that worked, so we made our own."

Every product is handcrafted in our Hastings factory in Hawke's Bay, using high concentrations of native New Zealand extracts — harakeke, hoheria, kōwhai, mānuka and kawakawa. Each one is chosen for its own combination of soothing, cleansing and restorative properties.

From our home, to yours — Hawke's Bay, New Zealand
Early beginnings

It started with a pair of wrecked hands.

Sore, cracked fingers turn everyday tasks into a nightmare. That was our reality — four young kids, endless hours in the kitchen, and hands left red, dry and cracked. Even the simplest chores were a painful struggle. We put it down to the dreadful dishwashing liquid we were buying at the supermarket. With no miracle solution in sight, we took matters into our own hands and developed a range of hand care products to fix it.

Made by us

Every bottle, start to finish.

And it worked. Hands work hard, and it was high time they got looked after. Since then we have extended the range to include body & home care — all of it made by us in our Hastings factory. We control the entire process from start to finish, which is very important to us.
