Products in Dry Skin

Dry skin is caused by a depleted skin barrier - insufficient lipids to retain moisture, whether from low humidity, over-washing, harsh products, or skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis. The most effective botanical ingredients for skin barrier repair are those rich in fatty acids: jojoba (which mirrors the skin's own sebum), rosehip (high in linoleic acid), and shea butter (ceramide-like barrier function). Kunzea oil adds anti-inflammatory activity, making it particularly suited to itchy or irritated dry skin.

The Zea dry skin range includes rich body butters, nourishing body oils, and Kunzea-based creams formulated specifically for dry, reactive, and eczema-prone skin. All products are free from synthetic fragrance - a common trigger for skin flare-ups - and are formulated without parabens, mineral oils, or silicones.

Zea is Australia's only pain relief B Corp, TGA-listed, and stocked in over 3,000 stores nationwide. Kunzea oil is wild-harvested in remote Tasmania using sustainable practices certified under 1% for the Planet.

Good To Know

Frequently Asked Questions

What causes chronic dry skin?

Chronic dry skin is typically caused by a compromised skin barrier. Contributing factors include frequent washing with harsh soaps, low humidity, cold air, ageing (reduced sebum production), and conditions like eczema and psoriasis. Genetics also plays a role in natural lipid production.

Which Zea product is best for very dry skin?

For very dry or dehydrated skin, the Original Kunzea Cream, VasaCLEAN barrier balm and Multi-Purpose Rescue Balm are the most effective options. VasaCLEAN locks in moisture on cracked or sensitive areas, while the Original Kunzea Cream is a lightweight daily moisturiser that builds barrier function with consistent use.

Can these products help with eczema?

Kunzea oil has demonstrated anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial activity relevant to eczema management. While not a treatment, regular application of Kunzea-based products can help reduce inflammation, itching, and secondary infection risk for mild eczema. Consult a dermatologist for moderate-to-severe eczema.

How often should I apply body butter?

For maintenance, once daily after showering is sufficient. For very dry or cracked skin, apply the Original Kunzea Cream or Multi-Purpose Rescue Balm morning and evening until the skin barrier is restored. Applying to slightly damp skin aids absorption.

Are these products safe for babies and children?

Several products are gentle enough for children - VasaCLEAN is fragrance-free and suited to sensitive young skin. For babies under 6 months, consult your paediatrician. Always check individual product labels for age guidance and patch test first.
