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)-skin-relief) 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

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)-skin-relief) and psoriasis. Genetics also plays a role in natural lipid production.

For very dry or dehydrated skin, the Kunzea Skin Relief Cream or the Magnesium Body Butter are most effective. Both contain high concentrations of emollient plant butters and oils that provide immediate relief and build barrier function with consistent use.

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.

For maintenance, once daily after showering is sufficient. For very dry or cracked skin, apply morning and evening until the skin barrier is restored. Always apply to slightly damp skin for maximum absorption.

The unscented Kunzea Skin Relief Cream is gentle enough for children over 6 months. For babies under 6 months, consult your paediatrician. Avoid products with essential oils on newborn skin.
