"Glow and moisture? Name a more iconic duo. The first brand to use Australian Desert Tomato (a killer antioxidant), they combine it with green tea and niacinamide (brightening, soothing), with squalane and Vitamin E thrown in for good hydration. And the fresh, citrusy, slightly tea-esque scent is 👌"

This cleanser is amazing! I ended up on new medications last year that ended up completely changing my skin. I tried so many different products before trying this and I honestly now swear by it.

8 First Nations People Share Their Unique Connection to Country
"A lot of our culture’s medicinal practices are still largely undiscovered – if those people were to disappear, who else knows it? I’m excited about the potential to preserve a lot of those stories about the amazing native botanicals that we have."
-
I was on strong prescription skincare and my skin was hating it. I switch to Thirsty Turtl after I tried it at the markets. My skin is so much calmer and it feels way less harsh than the stuff I was using before.

Thirsty Turtl co-founder Alisha Geary will be representing us in the US as part of a delegation of Indigenous entrepreneurs.

Sensitive Skin
We've selected active ingredients that are effective but not harsh on the skin. We've also used non-allergenic fragrance and left out unnecessary chemicals and essential oils, which can irritate the skin.

Rosacea
Colloidal oatmeal is an active ingredient for rosacea. It has anti-inflammatory properties, intense moisturisation, soothing capabilities, and ability to enhance the skin barrier function.

Dark Spots
Reduce dark spots, pigmentation and other signs of sun damage with 5% niacinamide and native Aussie tomato extract.
