FAQ's
What are Real World NZ products made from?
Our products are crafted using simple, natural, and nourishing plant-based ingredients, sourced with care in New Zealand. We avoid sulphates, silicones, parabens, toxins, petrochemicals, artificial dyes, and colours to ensure they’re better for you, your loved ones, and the planet.
Are your products suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, our formulations are designed to be gentle and restorative, making them suitable for sensitive skin. Ingredients like harakeke (flax) naturally soothe, hydrate, and reduce irritation, though we recommend a patch test if you have specific allergies.
