As the air cools and the days grow shorter, our bodies naturally begin to crave more rest, warmth, and nourishment. Winter invites us to slow down — to be more intentional, not just in how we spend our time, but in how we care for ourselves. It's a season where our skin, much like our nervous system, needs a little extra TLC.

Colder weather often brings dry air, indoor heating, and lower humidity, all of which can compromise our skin’s barrier and leave it feeling tight, flaky, or sensitive. This is also the time of year when we tend to move less, drink less water, and lean into comfort — sometimes without the conscious rituals our bodies truly need.

That’s why winter is the perfect opportunity to recalibrate your routine. Not with more steps or overcomplicated regimens, but with thoughtful, nourishing products that work with your body and not against it.

Here are our team's favourite toxin-free products we’re reaching for this season to hydrate, glow, and feel supported from the inside and out.

1. Naked Tallow – Tallow Balm

Tallow is one of nature’s most underrated skincare ingredients, especially in winter. This nutrient-dense balm is incredibly bioavailable, meaning it closely resembles the natural composition of our skin's sebum. This allows it to deeply nourish and repair even the most compromised skin barriers.

Naked Tallow’s Balm combines:

• Grass-fed tallow – rich in vitamins A, D, E, and K2 to repair and restore

• Cold-pressed olive oil – provides fatty acids and antioxidants to soften and protect

Use it on dry cheeks, cracked lips, hands, or anywhere your skin is asking for deep hydration. It’s simple, safe, and incredibly effective — especially for sensitive skin or those prone to eczema during the cooler months.

2. LAMAV – Self Tan Mist

The glow doesn’t have to disappear in winter. LAMAV’s Self Tan Mist offers a beautiful, buildable tan, with zero toxic ingredients, synthetic fragrance, or harsh alcohols. Unlike conventional tanners that can dry out the skin or leave behind a strong chemical smell, LAMAV’s formula is infused with nourishing botanicals and smells beautifully neutral.

Key ingredients include:

• Aloe vera – to soothe and hydrate
  

• Kakadu plum – rich in vitamin C for skin brightening and collagen support
  

• Natural DHA (from sugar beets) – creates a soft, golden tan without clogging pores
  

And while we love the mist, LAMAV’s entire self-tan range is equally great — from their gradual tan to their tanning mousse. Each product builds a natural, golden glow and leaves the skin feeling hydrated, not sticky or stripped. It's glow-up meets skin support, and we’re here for it all year round.

3. Koala Eco – Hand & Body Lotion

Daily hydration is especially important during the cooler months, when your skin is working overtime to stay supple. Koala Eco’s Hand & Body Lotion is a lightweight yet deeply nourishing staple for your everyday routine.

Unlike conventional lotions that often contain hormone-disrupting chemicals or synthetic fragrance, Koala Eco’s formula is clean, plant-based, and gentle enough for the whole family.

Hero ingredients include:

• Macadamia oil & shea butter – deeply moisturising without clogging pores
  

• Rosalina & peppermint essential oils – native Australian botanicals known for their calming, antimicrobial benefits
  

• Aloe vera & vitamin E – to soothe and replenish dry, irritated skin
  
  

Perfect for post-shower, before bed, or after handwashing — this is one product that’ll stay on your sink all season long.

4. Bush Tucker Blends – True Blue Immunity Powder

Healthy skin doesn’t start in a jar — it begins in the gut, and with the nutrients we nourish ourselves with daily. That’s why we love True Blue Immunity Powder by Bush Tucker Blends. It supports your immune system, inflammation response, and cellular hydration — all key factors in maintaining healthy, radiant skin during winter.

This native Australian blend features:

• Blue spirulina & butterfly pea – rich in antioxidants to fight free radical damage
  

• Quandong & Davidson plum – vitamin C powerhouses for immune and skin support
  

• Sea minerals – assist with cellular hydration and detoxification
  

Stir it into water, blend into smoothies, or even mix with herbal tea. It’s a vibrant daily ritual for beauty from within.

Winter is not just a time for extra blankets and herbal teas, it's a season for slowing down, tuning in, and choosing routines that truly serve you. 

Every product we’ve shared above is free from the hidden nasties commonly found in conventional skincare — so you can care for your skin without compromising your health in any way.
