Lemon Myrtle Oil + Manuka Honey Hand Cream
What Is the Best Hand Cream for Dry, Tired Hands?
Our lemon myrtle oil + manuka honey hand cream is designed to moisturise, soothe and refresh hands with a nourishing blend of naturally derived ingredients. At Freshwater Farm, we combine manuka honey with lemon myrtle essential oil, shea butter, squalene, macadamia oil and aloe leaf oil to create a cream that leaves skin feeling soft, smooth and comfortably hydrated.
Our formula is 98% naturally derived, with the natural aroma coming from essential oils rather than artificial fragrances.
What Does Manuka Honey Do for Your Hands?
Manuka honey is valued for its soothing and skin-conditioning qualities, making it a natural choice for a nourishing manuka honey hand cream. Our manuka honey has a naturally low pH that helps soothe and balance the skin, while contributing to the soft, smooth feeling you want from a trusted hand moisturiser.
We produce the manuka honey used in our products ourselves. We get the manuka honey when the bees feed off the lemon scented tea tree plants, helping us maintain a connection between the ingredients we use and the natural world they spring from.
Why Is Lemon Myrtle Used in Hand Cream?
Lemon myrtle gives our manuka honey hand cream its distinctive fresh aroma while providing a soothing sensation. We extract much of the lemon myrtle essential oil from plants grown on our farm on the Mid-North Coast of NSW.
Lemon myrtle oil is traditionally valued for its natural antiseptic properties, and we use it here as part of a gentle hand-care formula designed to leave your hands feeling refreshed as well as truly clean.

What Ingredients Make a Good Natural Hand Cream?
A good hand cream should provide moisture without leaving your hands feeling uncomfortable or overly greasy. Our manuka honey hand cream combines several skin-nourishing ingredients to help achieve that balance.
Shea butter provides rich moisturising care, while macadamia oil, sweet almond oil and aloe leaf oil help condition the skin. We also use natural vitamin E, olive-derived squalane and other natural ingredients in the formula.
The result is a manuka honey hand cream that absorbs readily and leaves your hands feeling silky smooth and ready for whatever comes next.
Is Freshwater Farm Hand Cream Australian-Made?
Yes. We make our hand cream in Australia, using ingredients connected to our own farm wherever possible. Our lemon myrtle is grown on our Mid-North Coast NSW farm.
We are proudly Australian-made, cruelty-free, and never test our products on animals. Our hand creams are packaged in aluminium tubes, which can be infinitely recycled.

How Should I Use Manuka Honey Hand Cream?
Apply a small amount of our manuka honey hand cream (to clean hands) and massage it gently into the skin. Use whenever your hands feel dry or need a little extra nourishment throughout the day.
With its combination of Australian-grown lemon myrtle, manuka honey and other nourishing plant-based ingredients, Freshwater Farm’s hand cream is a great addition to your regular hand-care routine.
