What our customers say
So, which colour works best for you?
A great starting point is to harmonize the lipstick colour with your skin tone. You can determine your skins undertone by checking your wrist veins- blue indicates a cool undertone, green suggests warm and if it’s difficult to tell then you are a neutral undertone. For cool tones, opt for blue- based reds or berry shades (try Living Nature’s shades Glamorous or Summer Rain). Warmer tones suit lipsticks with orange or yellow undertones, such as peachy or warm reds (try Living Nature’s Wild Fire or Morning Sun). If your skin tone is neutral then most shades will suit you, however pink shades work particularly well, (try Living Natures shades Precious, Laughter and Coral Sea).
Living Nature lipsticks allow women to look and feel beautiful while also looking after their health. Wearing a natural lipstick this Valentine’s Day is not merely a beauty trend, it’s a lifestyle choice. So let Living Nature be your beauty guide and discover your natural lipstick shade.

This bestselling SPF moisturiser recently received a Bronze award in the prestigious Free From Skincare awards.
]]>This bestselling SPF moisturiser recently received a Bronze award in the prestigious Free From Skincare awards. These European awards were founded to celebrate skincare products that are ‘free from’ many of the allergens, preservatives, additives and fragrances associated with skin sensitivities, allergies, and ethical, environmental and health concerns. We are so proud of the results our clean, effective SPF achieved in these awards, which include a rigorous testing process! Daily Protect Facial Lotion SPF 20 was also a finalist in the Pure Beauty Global Awards and a Gold winner in the Global Makeup Awards in May 2023.
As a pioneering New Zealand natural skincare brand, we are truly honoured by this recognition. It not only reaffirms our position as a beauty innovator but also celebrates our unwavering commitment to providing modern consumers with exceptional, results-driven natural beauty products.What People Are Saying
”As someone who likes to wear sun cream all year round, this is really excellent. I've used it under makeup and it feels like its invisible. It's non-sticky, feather light, and there is zero white residue left behind. Well done, Living Nature!” - Testers feedback, Free From Skincare Awards 2023
”Daily Protect Facial Lotion SPF 20 isn't feeling heavy on my skin and it isn't irritating my skin; I usually react to SPFs. I am really enjoying using this in addition to my skincare and make up routine. My skin is starting to feel more hydrated and I have less redness.” - Testers feedback, Free From Skincare Awards 2023
”The texture of the facial lotion is light and non-greasy which is amazing considering most facial SPFs are usually thick and greasy leaving a white cast on the skin.…I feel Living Nature have got the texture spot on. It leaves a natural glow to the skin once it has sunk in.” - Testers feedback, Free From Skincare Awards 2023
Note: To achieve a smooth even foundation application - avoid applying too much moisturiser to prevent the foundation from ‘sliding’ and forming streaks.
Now that your skin is prepped, it’s time to apply foundation.
Apply Foundation
Using Living Nature’s foundation brush (recommended for optimal application), dip the bristles lightly into the foundation, picking up a small amount.
Tip: ensure your Foundation Brush is washed regularly in mild shampoo, as a clean brush offers optimum application & avoids streaking. After washing, dry with the bristles facing downward.
Start with the nose: Begin by applying the foundation on the nose. Use gentle outward strokes to blend the product onto the skin. Ensure you cover the entire nose area evenly.
Work outwards: Gradually work your way outwards, moving to the cheeks, forehead, chin, and finally, the jawline. Use the same brushing motions to blend the foundation seamlessly.
Tip: ensure foundation is blended well along the jawline down onto the neck to avoid a ‘tide line’
Focus on small areas: Complete one small area at a time, such as the nose or cheeks, before moving on to the next section. This technique helps ensure even coverage and prevents the foundation from drying too quickly.
Avoid going back: Once you've finished applying foundation to a specific area, avoid going back to it. Foundation tends to set as it dries, so revisiting an area can disrupt the finish and make it appear patchy.
Check for any touch-ups: After applying foundation all over, examine your face in natural lighting to identify any areas that may need additional coverage. Use a small amount of foundation on a brush to touch up those spots if necessary.
Set with powder (optional): If desired, you can set your foundation with a light dusting of Living Nature’s Luminous Pressed Powder to enhance its longevity. Start application on the nose, applying only a small amount to the brush each time and gently brush over the skin working outwards.
Now, enjoy a flawless complexion that lasts throughout the day.
Certified Natural Foundations
Our natural Pure Shades foundations are crafted in New Zealand using 100% natural ingredients. The non-comedogenic, cruelty free formulas are enriched with a blend of nourishing ingredients, including Active Mānuka Honey and Mānuka Oil, providing nourishment and protection for your skin. The infusion of Macadamia, Jojoba, and Avocado Oils helps to nourish and soften your skin, creating a truly luxurious experience.
Top tips for promoting healthy lips
Choosing your perfect lipstick
When choosing a lipstick, look for moisture rich natural formulations, such as Living Nature’s certified natural lipstick range. Our lipsticks are rich, creamy, and formulated with ingredients which actually work to enhance your lips health. Candellila Wax, Beeswax and Vitamin E are only a few of the nourishing natural ingredients they contain. The certified natural formulas have no nasties which could dry or damage your lips. Instead, they will nourish and help protect your lips from the elements, while providing luscious colour for a beautiful smile.
How to choose the right colour for your skin tone
Choosing the right lipstick colour can be a daunting task, but the key is to find a shade that complements your skin tone. Picking the wrong shade can make you look washed out, or even worse, make your teeth appear yellow.
To begin, identify your skin tone. This can be done by examining the veins on the underside of your wrist. If they appear blue, you have a cool undertone. If they appear green, you have a warm undertone. If you can’t tell, you may have a neutral undertone.
For cool undertones, look for lipsticks with blue or purple undertones, such as berry shades or blue-based reds (try Living Nature’s shades Summer Rain or Glamorous). Warm undertones look best with lipsticks that have orange or yellow undertones, such as peachy or warm red shades (try Living Nature’s Morning Sun or Wild Fire). Neutral undertones can pull off most shades, but nude and pink shades work particularly well. Living Nature’s lipstick shades Precious, Laughter and Coral Sea are fan favourites!
Once you find a shade that works for you, you can confidently wear your perfect lipstick shade all day, every day.
Here are some tips to help you get the perfect application:
Caring for your lips and making conscious choices when it comes to makeup is essential for maintaining healthy, beautiful lips. With Living Nature’s natural lip products, you can enhance your natural beauty, protect your lips from the elements, and avoid harmful chemicals. By doing so, you can not only look and feel your best but also contribute to a better world for yourself and future generations.

Ultra Rich Body Cream
Living Nature's Ultra Rich Body Cream is a true skin saviour, and a perfect gift for those who love a deeply nourishing and hydrating body cream. This certified natural cream is infused with active Mānuka Honey, Cupuacu and Murumuru butters to leave skin feeling soft and supple. With a natural vanilla fragrance, it’s a luxurious all-over body treat.
Here's an overview of our hero ingredients, which we have used for decades to produce the natural skincare you know and love.
Mānuka Oil
For centuries, this oil has been used traditionally to aid in treating skin disorders, burns and fevers. It has powerful antimicrobial properties, and studies show it can be up to 33 times stronger than Tea Tree Oil against some bacteria.
Active Mānuka Honey
Living Nature's Certified Natural Mānuka Honey is one of nature's sweetest and strongest gifts. From the nectar of native New Zealand Mānuka flowers, active Mānuka Honey is a miracle beauty and skincare ingredient. Wild harvested from beekeepers in our local Far North region of New Zealand, this honey provides hydrating, moisturising and nourishing benefits.
Harakeke
The gel from New Zealand flax, Harakeke Gel is hydrating, moisturising and healing, which is why we use it extensively in our range. It is the perfect natural alternative to petrochemically derived synthetic gels to soothe, hydrate and cool, reducing puffiness and redness in the skin.
Halloysite Clay
Renowned as one of the world’s finest and purest clays, Halloysite Clay has a remarkable ability to absorb toxins and impurities from the skin. It also helps to exfoliate, drawing dead cells away from the surface to leave the skin fresh and accessible to nutrients. Our Halloysite Clay is sourced from New Zealand's pristine Matauri Bay, this unique Halloysite Clay was formed through subtropical weathering of ancient volcanic domes produced some two to nine million years ago.
Kūmarahou
The worlds most natural soap, Kūmarahou has antimicrobial properties, soothes skin, and locks in moisture. We use Kūmarahou throughout the Living Nature range as an alternative to harsh surfactants such as SLS that strip the skin of its protective oils.
Totarol
Nature’s super antioxidant, Totarol is 7 times stronger than Vitamin E! This makes it a powerful force against skin ageing free radicals. Totarol is sustainably extracted from the heartwood of the Tōtara tree, a giant of the New Zealand forest. In addition to its antioxidant power, it has powerful antimicrobial properties making beneficial for acne prone skin.
Alongside these powerful ingredients, we use botanical superheroes including Avocado Oil, Hyaluronic Acid, plant derived Squalane and Rosehip Oil. The result? Powerful, clean skincare and cosmetic formulations your skin will love.

]]>“Love it! Stand out colour and so nourishing to my previously dry lips.” – Judith, Summer Rain Lipstick
2. 35 years of experience
We have been formulating premium natural lipsticks in our iconic Kerikeri factory for over 35 years. This means years of perfecting and refining the formulation to provide ultimate comfort and stand out colour.
“I have tried other natural lipsticks and have been disappointed as I often find they have a grainy texture which can sometimes build up on the lips. However, Living Nature has really perfected their lipstick formula. It glides effortlessly onto your lips and is incredibly smooth to apply.” - Caitlin
3. A variety of beautiful shades
From soft nude-pink shades to classic blue reds, we have something to suit every skin type and occasion. Our bestselling shades include Coral Sea, a soft brick red, Summer Rain, a deep plum rose, and Glamorous, a classic blue red.
4. Velvety smooth application and wear
With a wealth of natural waxes, butters and oils in the formulation, your lips feel soft and pampered. New Zealand Beeswax, Candelilla Wax, and Carnauba Wax provide creamy, luxurious application while Apple Seed Oil and Grape Seed Oil moisturise lips. The addition of Vitamin E provides antioxidant protection. It’s like a lip balm and lipstick in one.
“The lipsticks are great as they do not taste of anything and keep your lips moist when in use and the colour stays on and always looks great!!!!....I have had many people comment and have asked what I use.” – Emma, Precious
5. Don’t forget our Lip Hydrators
If lipstick isn’t really your thing, our certified natural Lip Hydrators are the perfect solution to keep lips pampered without bold colour. Our Lip Hydrators can be used as a lip primer under your favourite Living Nature Lipstick, or for an overnight moisture boost.

Next, gather the products you will be using, including two cool cucumber slices for your eyes while your mask is working, and a small, lightweight towel to use as a compress. Tie your hair back or wrap it in a towel to keep it out of your face.
Now you are all set up, you can begin.
Step 1: Cleanse
Remove make-up and cleanse skin well.
Step 2: Facial Compress
Wet a small, lightweight towel in hot (not too hot) water with 1 drop of Lavender or your favourite skin friendly essential oil. Squeeze the towel out and then wrap it gently around your face, keeping the nose area open for breathing.
Gently apply slight pressure with your hands over the compress – working over the entire face and neck area then gently wipe away product or remove if simply using to open pores.
Step 3: Exfoliate
Exfoliate your skin using Living Nature’s Hydrating Glow Exfoliant. Apply to face and neck, avoiding eye area. Gently massage into the skin, and leave on for 5-10 minutes. Use a warm damp towel or face cloth to remove the mask.
Step 4: Mask
Apply your Living Nature mask of choice (read about Living Nature’s face masks here) and leave on for the required time. Find a nice relaxing chair or relax on your bed and apply the cool cucumber slices for the duration of the mask
Again, use a warm damp towel or face cloth to remove the mask.
Step 5: Face Massage.
Mix a little of your Living Nature Nourishing Night Cream with a few drops of Radiance Night Oil or Ultimate Day Oil to massage into skin.
To massage, work in gentle circular motions with the finger tips then finish by gliding your fingers in an outward and upward motion (don’t forget your neck and under your chin). You can conclude by gently tapping the finger tips over the whole skin to stimulate circulation. Working outwards helps with lymphatic drainage and improved circulation, upward strokes works against gravity, together resulting in a glowing fresher looking skin. There are no right or wrong movements as long as it feels good and you are not over-stretching the skin.
Use a warm towel or face cloth to gently absorb excess product from the massage, without rubbing it all off.
Step 6: Tone
Apply a Living Nature Toning Gel to hydrate and soothe the skin. Wait 30 seconds for the product to absorb into the skin, and then apply any serums or oils you use in your skincare routine.
Step 7: Moisturise.
As the final step, gently massage your favourite moisturiser into the skin. If you are applying during the day, we recommend using Living Nature’s Daily Protect Facial Lotion SPF 20 to protect and moisturise your skin.
Enjoy your soft, glowing and pampered skin.

Declutter and review
Keep your beauty bag de-cluttered and stocked with the skincare products you love – no need to keep hanging on to products you know you will never use. If you still have an expired bottle of a product you were given 2 years ago, it might be time to throw it away (be sure to recycle the packaging if possible). We also recommend check the expiry dates on all of your skincare. This ensures ingredients are fresh and your products have the best efficacy. Plus, is there anything you have run out of or are getting low on?
Identify your skins needs
Your skins requirements change over time, depending on your age and the season. It pays to review your skincare routine regularly to make sure it’s giving you the best results. Whether its acne, fine lines, or pigmentation you are most concerned with, identify the issue. Then find the solution with one of our targeted serums. You can find out more about identifying and caring for your particular skin type here.

Our new Hydrating Glow Exfoliant uses exfoliating heroes’ alpha- and beta-hydroxy acids (AHA and BHAs) to give your skin a healthy glow. Arguably some of the safest and gentlest ways to exfoliate the skin, they work to decongest pores and remove dead skin. Find out more here.

Combine this with the fact that many of us spend our days in artificially heated or cooled environments, possibly not drinking enough water and consuming caffeine and alcohol. The result? Seriously dehydrated, dull skin.
That’s where a high quality, alcohol free toner comes in, providing an infusion of much needed moisture for the skin. Hydrating the skin is an important component of your skincare regime and can result in improved skin elasticity, smoother texture, less fine lines and wrinkles and an even tone.
Living Nature’s certified natural, alcohol-free Toning Gels boast ingredients such as New Zealand’s Harakeke Flax Gel, Active Mānuka Honey and Larch Tree Extract to repair dehydration by drawing moisture into the skin. Known as nature’s super skin hydrator, Harakeke contains a high quantity of natural skin nutrients and polysaccharides - naturally soothing, hydrating and cooling the skin. Independent in vitro tests show Harakeke Gel to be even more hydrating, moisturising and healing than Aloe Vera. It is also an excellent natural alternative to petrochemically derived synthetic gels. That’s why we have used this ingredient extensively in our range for many years.
Refreshing and lightweight, our Toning Gels glide onto skin, absorbing rapidly with no sticky residue. Toning helps to calm and balance the skin and prepare it for your next important step – applying a night cream or moisturiser. Applying a cream after toning helps to ‘lock’ in all the goodness and hydration of your toner. Your skin will be left feeling soft, refreshed, and glowing.

The lowdown on UVA and UVB rays
UVA makes up 95% of all the UV rays that make it to the Earth’s surface. UVA penetrates deep into our skin and can pass through glass. It causes almost all forms of skin aging by damaging the collagen and elastin in the skin & generating free radicals, resulting in skin aging and wrinkles
While UVB rays make up only 5% of the rays from the sun, they have more energy than UVA rays. They do not penetrate as deeply as UVA, but can cause a lot of damage on the top skin layers
They damage the DNA in the skin cells directly (the main cause of sunburn) and eventually lead to melanoma and other types of skin cancer.
When UVA partners with UVB, damage is caused to the DNA of both the lower and upper skin cells. This produces genetic defects or mutations that can lead to more serious problems, like skin cancer, i.e. melanoma, as well as wrinkles and aging.
That's why it's so important to practice sun safe behavior - wear a hat, sunglasses and protective clothing when you are outdoors, even in the shade. Plus, protect your skin with a daily coat of SPF.
Dual effect SPF and hydration
Our new Daily Protect Facial Lotion SPF 20 provides broad spectrum protection against UVA/UVB rays with added skincare benefits. The dual effect serum-like formula feeds the skin with premium plant powered ingredients including Hyaluronic Acid, organic Aloe Vera and antioxidant hero Vitamin E. Organic Coconut Oil and Shea Butter provide an infusion of moisture and hydration while reducing inflammation.
Vegan friendly and 70% organic, Daily Protect Facial Lotion has a light-as-air skin feel and no white cast; it’s perfect worn alone or layered under makeup. Suitable for all skin types, Daily Protect Facial Lotion is an essential in your morning skincare routine.

Oily /Acne Prone Skin
Oily skin is caused by an overproduction of sebum, which can be brought on by stress, genetics, hormonal changes, medication or cosmogenic cosmetics. Oily skin is often acne-prone, with enlarged pores, and a glossy shine on the skins surface. Care for oily and acne prone skin with products designed to balance the skins natural oil content.
Our Recommendations:
Dry Skin
Dry skin is caused by the skin producing less sebum than normal, which results in a lack of moisture giving skin a rough, tight surface. Dry skin can vary in severity, but skin typically gets dyer with age. Care for dry skin using products that provide an extra boost of nourishment and moisture.
Our Recommendations
Combination Skin
If you have both dry and oily skin, you have combination skin. This is usually characterised by an oily T-zone, caused by an overproduction of sebum is the cause of the oilier parts of the skin. You may experience mild breakouts and have larger pores on your nose, chin, and forehead – the areas where the oil glands are most active. Areas around the cheeks, jawline and hairline may feel dry or tight. This is caused by a lack of sebum in this area, and a lipid deficiency.
Combination skin can often feel like a balancing act, as it is important to address both the dry and oily areas of your face to promote a clear, balanced complexion.
Our Recommendations:
Sensitive Skin
Sensitive skin is a condition, rather than a skin type, meaning that anyone can have it. It is typically characterised by dry, red, itchy or flaking skin. Eczema, rosacea or other skin conditions can trigger a flare up of these symptoms, as can factors such as diet, allergies or stress. For sensitive skin, we recommend a less is more approach in both process and ingredients – particularly when it comes to fragrances, which are a common allergen for sensitive skin.
Our recommendations:
Normal Skin
If you have normal skin, your skin will be well balanced; not too oily or too dry. Caring for normal skin is usually all about maintaining this natural balance.
Our Recommendations:

]]>Here’s our ‘Kekebaby bathtime guide to promote happy, healthy skin and a sweet sleep for your little one.
Bubble Bath & Cleanse
Dispense ‘Kekebaby Bubble Bath directly under warm, running water to create bubbles. You can also lather the bubble bath further with your hands to create extra bubbles.
Next, apply a small amount of ‘Kekebaby Body & Hair Wash to your hands and lather gently over baby’s body and hair while in the bath. Rinse off gently.
Moisturise & Soothe
For super soft, nourished skin after the bath, apply a generous amount of ‘Kekebaby Body Lotion to towel dried skin.
If required, our 'Kekebaby Barrier Balm should also be applied to protect babies skin from nappy rash. This gentle, waxy balm is formulated with certified organic Coconut Oil, Beeswax and Cupuacu Butter to provide your baby with a soothing barrier to protect delicate skin.
Calm
If you have the time we recommend using our ‘Kekebaby Massage Oil to give your little one a relaxing, calming massage. This is a great way to promote a good sleep. Always start by simply resting your hands on the baby, either on their legs or their back to build security. In the first few weeks, you are only going to use a few slow and gentle strokes. More than this can cause over-stimulation of their senses. Warm a little 'Kekebaby Massage Oil in your hands and start with a few light strokes down the legs. You can slowly move to the baby’s arms, back and tummy, as they get used to your positive touch (avoid the feet and tummies of premature babies for at least two months).
For more information about our certified organic ‘Kekebaby range, please reach out to our dedicated Customer Solutions team at solutions@livingnature.com.
4. Detox your skin regularly
Our Charcoal Clay Mask is an innovative formula designed with natural anti-pollutant, skin detoxifying ingredients to restore skin balance. Active Charcoal works to draw out impurities and toxins from the pores. ‘Super berry’ Schisandra Chinensis helps strengthen your skins protective layer and activates the skins natural detoxing process.
We recommend using Charcoal Clay Mask 1 -2 times per week for best results.
“After trying countless mask to help with my skin issues and getting no real improvements I was given a box of this charcoal mask from my sister in law. Having never really tried Living Nature products before I wasn't expecting much but can proudly say I have used all ten sachets and will definitely be purchasing more! It leaves my skin feeling super clean, fresh and hydrated with no reactions as I have had with other brands. Thanks Living Nature!” - Laura
#2: Glamorous
If you’re looking for stand out bold colour, we recommend Glamorous. This rich blue-red hue lives up to its name, adding a dose of glamour to every makeup look. Perfect for day and night wear, this universally flattering shade brightens and compliments your complexion while instantly creating a polished look.
#3: Laughter
Certified natural lipstick shade Laughter is a soft vintage pink perfect for everyday wear. This pretty pink shade is one of our best sellers for good reason – it goes with everything, and adds a little colour to your look without being too bold. Laughter is perfect for those of you who don’t feel comfortable wearing a bright lippy, but still want a little colour.
#4 Coral Sea

Application How-To:
For perfect lipstick application, start at the centre of your top lip. Carefully apply to the natural shape or your cupids bow, then blend outwards following your natural lip line. Follow the same technique for your bottom lip. To ensure long-lasting wear, apply a matching lip liner or a little foundation to your lips prior to the lipstick application; ensure you gently blend the lip liner or foundation into the centre of your lip with your finger to ensure no harsh lines are created.
Tip: our lip pencils are designed to perfect your lipstick look – available in shades Woods or Laughter.

This nutrient rich moisturiser works to deeply hydrate and restore skin while you sleep. Active Mānuka honey enhances your skin's natural renewal and healing process, while native super antioxidant Totarol provides an extra boost of antibacterial protection and fights skin-ageing free radicals.
To celebrate Nourishing Night Cream, we teamed up with women from around New Zealand to trial it. Did it live up to expectations? The results we received speak for themselves, as over 94% saw an improvement in overall skin health and skin hydration, and 68% described their skin as appearing plumper.*
“The product is rich and hydrating but not causing break outs to my skin. I can go back to a very minimal skin care procedure as the cream is rich enough for me. After applying it at night, I wake up still feeling my skin is hydrated instead of dry and tight.” – Kelly
“This product works I have noticed my skin has its plumpness back, is so soft and the fine lines and wrinkles are fading I also noticed my acne scars are going from the past. Like liquid gold in a bottle.” – Charmaine
“Firstly the night cream smells so good. It goes on so smoothly and instantly my skin feels hydrated. I loved how it made my skin feel hydrated but not greasy and it helped reduce wrinkles and my skin looked plumper.” – Jamila
Perfect Pair: Nourishing Night Cream and Advanced Renewal Night Serum
If you’re looking to step up your night-time skincare routine, this is the perfect skincare duo for you.
After cleansing and toning, apply Advanced Renewal Night Serum to face, neck and décolletage. This golden hued serum contains cell energizing natural D-ribose. A natural antiaging agent, D-ribose works by restoring the ATP cell reserves, a carrier of energy for skin cells. Clinical trials show that applying this powerhouse ingredient to the skin stimulates the fibroblast metabolism and enhances elasticity, significantly reducing wrinkles after just 28 days of continuous use to promote a luminous, smooth complexion. This powerhouse ingredient is combined with Active Mānuka Honey, Hyaluronic Acid, and Rosehip Oil to create the purest, most potent formula; these nutrient rich ingredients work together while you sleep, the optimal time for your skin to repair and recover.
As your final skincare step, apply Nourishing Night Cream. Applying moisturiser is vital for protecting and nourishing your skins barrier, and infuses your skin with moisture. Nourishing Night Cream will also lock in hydration and hold the other products you have applied in place, helping them to work effectively – e.g. helping to ensure that Advanced Renewal Night Serum is working it’s magic!

]]>Lightweight and ultra-hydrating: Nourishing Hand & Body Cream
This lightweight, hydrating formula is enriched with active Mānuka Honey and Larch Tree Extract to leave your skin feeling beautifully soft and replenished. Perfect for everyday use, the non-greasy formula delivers deep hydration while assisting to repair dry, chapped skin.
Infused with antioxidant rich Grapefruit Extract and Vitamin E, Nourishing Hand & Body Cream is perfect for keeping your hands soft and hydrated. With a fresh botanical fragrance that uplifts and energizes, you will be in love with this formula.
Tip: Apply directly after a shower or bath to lock in deep hydration for glowy, pampered skin.
Luxurious and nutrient-rich: Ultra Rich Body Cream
Ultra Rich Body Cream is an extra luxurious, nutrient-rich cream infused with active Mānuka Honey for its humectant moisture-loving properties, Cupuacu and Murumuru butters to deeply nourish, and natural oils to soothe and condition the skin. It's perfect if you have skin on the dryer side, or you just need extra pampering. With a delicious natural vanilla fragrance, it’s a must-have in your body care collection.
“After trying the Ultra Rich Body Cream for a few weeks I’m still as impressed as I was on my first application. This is a great body lotion but it is as a gardener that it really impresses me. It would have to be the best hand lotion I think I’ve ever tried. It soothes my rough sore hands immediately. It’s not one of those creams that leaves your hands feeling drier than they did before you put it on and it doesn’t leave a heavy, greasy coating that makes my hands sweat either.” - Therese
Tip: We love to use it in winter to banish dry, rough skin – particularly on elbows and knees.

Why we love it
A high performing powder foundation, Luminous Pressed Powder offers buildable coverage for a fresh, flawless finish. It contains 100% natural ingredients which create a silky smooth application, instantly minimising the appearance of pores and fine lines. The skin loving, vegan formula is also infused with antioxidant Vitamin E and organic Jojoba Oil, helping to perfect your complexion for a healthy glow.
Breathable and lightweight, it’s suitable for all skin types including oily and combination skin, as it won’t clog your pores. It’s perfect on its own, or we love pairing it with a liquid foundation such as our Pure Shades foundation for extra coverage.
Tip: use as a concealer to cover redness or blemishes by applying where needed with an eyeshadow brush.
“Love this product! It gives an even coverage with a wonderful luminous glow. The staying power on my combination skin is good, it's none drying and kind to my 'mature' skin! Massive Bonus having no nasties! Highly recommended” - Lisa
How to apply:
Apply in light, circular motions using Living Nature’s Kabuki Brush, building gradually to reach the desired coverage. Use the powder puff applicator for touch ups when required.
“I love this powder! The coverage is amazing...I use it over the top of my tinted moisturiser (which does a good job of providing a bit of a base for it), and I apply it with a brush to ensure a more natural/lighter finish.” – Tina
With the addition of brand new shade Fair, there are now four shades to choose from in this range: Deep, Medium, Light and Fair.
For more information about these products, please contact us at solutions@livingnature.com.
The wealth of natural oils, waxes and butters used our cosmetics to provide a luxurious boost of nourishment (without weighing skin down). In our foundations, we use Macadamia, Jojoba and Avocado Oils to feed and soften skin. Our latest addition to our range, Pure Ivory Foundation, incorporates the ultra-hydrating skincare favourite Hyaluronic Acid. This can hold up to 1000 times its weight in water, helping to plump and hydrate skin for a youthful glow.
The majority of our cosmetics contain antioxidant Vitamin E which helps to protect the lipid barrier of your skin. Everyday skin stressors can create small cracks in the skins barrier, which allow moisture to escape and leave skin feeling tight and dry. Vitamin E helps to keep your skins protective barrier intact, keeping lipids fresh in your skin. Vitamin E also offers antioxidant benefits. It helps to neutralise skin aging free radicals. The antioxidant properties of vitamin E can also help to prevent blackheads by discouraging oil oxidation in the skin.
Formulated without the nasties
Did you know that using conventional beauty products can mean applying around 168 chemicals to your body each day, including ingredients with known health risks? This makes cosmetics containing safe, natural ingredients all the more important.* So while we use some of the world's most remarkable ingredients, what we leave out is just as important. We have a very simple mantra: if there's any question about an ingredient's safety, we simply will not use it.
In Living Nature products you'll find no:
No compromise on performance
With our award winning range, you can be sure to have no compromise on performance. Crafted in New Zealand in our iconic factory, many of our cosmetics have won internationally renowned awards for their performance and high standards of naturalness.
Some of our fan favourite cosmetics include certified natural Thickening Mascara, and our award winning range of natural Lipsticks and Lip Hydrators.
“I have tried other natural lipsticks and have been disappointed as I often find they have a grainy texture which can sometimes build up on the lips. However, Living Nature has really perfected their lipstick formula. It glides effortlessly onto your lips and is incredibly smooth to apply.” – Caitlin
“The best natural mascara! Over the years, I have tried to many natural mascaras. I am serious when I say after using this for 3 months I have found the one! It stays on all day, no flaking or smudging, so easy to remove with coconut oil. Cannot fault this mascara at all. So impressed with the ingredients - thank you thank you for creating such a wonderful safe product.” - Sammi

]]>We love the holiday season – it’s the perfect time to bring out your favourite red lipstick, and add a little extra sparkle to your eye makeup. But don’t forget your skincare routine – in fact, taking the time to give your skin a little TLC can go a long way towards promoting that healthy dewy glow you are looking for, naturally.
Here’s some of our top tips to keep your skin glowing during the busy holiday season, with a few simple natural products from Living Nature’s award winning range.
Cleanse your skin properly
At the end of a busy day (particularly when you are wearing makeup) be sure to cleanse your skin – we suggest double cleansing. This ensures you break down the dirt and makeup in the first step, and then wash away any residue remaining in the second.
We recommend using our Gentle Makeup Remover as your first cleanser, and then following with a Living Nature cleanser appropriate to your skin type (find our range here).
Hydration is Key!
Your skin needs to be hydrated to thrive. In addition to drinking plenty of water, our hydrating toning gels help to promote that soft, dewy glow. A unique gel formulation, they contain soothing Harakeke Flax Gel and humectant Active Manuka Honey, plus a wealth of other nutrient rich natural ingredients. Refreshing and lightweight, they glide onto skin, absorbing rapidly with no sticky residue. Pair this with a Living Nature moisturiser and your skin will thank you.
Tip: for more information about keeping skin hydrated, check out this blog.
Boost skins glow with a serum
After hydrating your skin, why not apply a targeted serum to give your skin an extra boost of goodness? Active Brightening Serum contains the power of active Atlantic Kelp and tropical Pracaxi Fruit Seed Oil, which work to lighten and minimise the appearance of pigmentation, even out skin tone and improve skin elasticity and resilience. At night, Advanced Renewal Night Serum promotes a healthy glow by restoring skins energy and helping it to regenerate while you sleep. It’s our beauty sleep solution for a glowing complexion, powered with 100% natural ingredients.
Build a ‘skin health promoting’ makeup bag
Allow your skin to breathe by choosing natural, lightweight cosmetics this holiday season. With Living Nature’s earth friendly natural cosmetic range, there is no need to compromise on quality. With lightweight mineral powders, nourishing foundations enriched with Avocado Oil and Manuka Honey, and luscious lipsticks, there is something for every skin type and occasion. Some of our top picks include:

Glycerin
Glycerin is a natural component found in healthy skin, which mimics the skins natural moisturising factor. An often overlooked skincare hero, Glycerin is a natural humectant; this means that it can draw moisture from the air and keep it in the skin, helping to provide long term hydration without weighing skin down. Being compatible with all skin types and suitable for all ages, Glycerin is used extensively in the skincare world. At Living Nature, we use certified organic, plant derived glycerin to provide essential moisturising properties to many of our products, including our cleansers, toners and moisturisers. When paired with outer emollients and oils, Glycerin helps to promote beautifully soft, supple skin.
Although skin hydration is the main function of Glycerin in skincare, it has many other benefits including:
Next time you check an ingredient list, look out for Glycerin – you might be pleasantly surprised to see its name appear in more products than you realise! And, with its myriad of skin benefits, it’s good to know you have probably been using it all this time.
Hyaluronic Acid
You have probably heard a lot about hyaluronic acid in recent years, with this skincare superstar becoming extremely popular - and with good reason! Hyaluronic Acid is found naturally within our skin, essential for healthy collagen and elastin production, helping to keep the skin hydrated and plump. It has the ability to pull water from the air, and bring it into your skin like a sponge – it boasts the impressive ability to attract 1000 times its weight in water! Due to this, Hyaluronic Acid can greatly boost skins moisture retention ability and is often used in hydrating skincare products. Some key benefits of this skincare star include:
Rosehip Oil
A skincare superhero that we adore, Rosehip Oil not only looks beautiful (with that bright golden glow), but it also has a huge array of skin benefits. A cold pressed seed oil, rosehip oil is primarily known for its hydrating, antiaging and cell renewal benefits. It has a wealth of other benefits including:
The majority of Living Nature’s skincare range has at least one of these skincare superheroes included – together they provide your skin with a wealth of benefits. Here’s some of our favourite products.
Advanced Renewal Night Serum
Crafted with a perfectly balanced powerhouse of active natural ingredients, Living Nature’s Advanced Renewal Night Serum works hard overnight to promote an effortless healthy glow.

Our #1 bestseller, this serum contains collagen boosting Hyaluronic Acid and Rosehip Oil working to enhance skins regeneration process, and hydrating Glycerin to keep skin feeling soft and hydrated, along with hero ingredients active Atlantic Kelp and tropical Pracaxi Fruit Seed Oil, which work to lighten and minimise the appearance of pigmentation, even out skin tone and improve skin elasticity and resilience.
