Genie in a Jar Body Scrub

Exfoliate, cleanse and deeply nourish - all in one step.
Formulated with pure New Zealand sea salt and six essential oils blended in macadamia oil, our scrub gently removes dead skin cells, opens pores and delivers lasting hydration. The salt is sourced from Blenheim and kiln-dried for purity, while the essential oil blend helps calm inflammation and restore skin health.
As you rinse, the oils form a protective barrier that locks in moisture - leaving your skin smooth, soft and resilient. The scent is fresh and uplifting, never overpowering and won’t clash with cologne or perfume.
Perfect for all skin types, especially dry, cracked or hard-working hands. Loved by gardeners, nurses, tradies and anyone who needs skincare that actually works. SHOP SCRUB

Our Signature Essential Oil Blend

Each Genie in a Jar product features a carefully balanced blend of six essential oils - chosen for their proven skin benefits and uplifting, gender-neutral scent.
Lemon Myrtle - Soothes dry, irritated skin with natural antifungal, antibacterial, and antiseptic properties.
Lime - Supports nail health and helps strengthen dry, brittle areas. Peppermint - Cools and calms inflamed, itchy skin - ideal for tired feet and irritated patches.
Bergamot - Uplifts and energises the senses while offering gentle antibacterial support for clearer skin. Mandarin - Known to improve the appearance of scars and acne; helps tone oily skin. Patchouli - A powerful skin-regenerating oil that supports healing and hydration - too good to leave out.

Our Base Botanical Oils

Macadamia oil - Known for its similarity to the skin’s natural sebum, macadamia oil deeply moisturises, replenishes, and supports sensitive, dry, or mature skin. It contains phytosterols that help reduce itchiness and inflammation - acting like a natural cortisone - and is rich in linoleic acid, ideal for skin that struggles to retain moisture.
Jojoba oil - A lightweight, non-comedogenic oil packed with antioxidants and Vitamin E. Jojoba helps condition dry skin and is believed to support skin elasticity and slow visible signs of ageing.
Sweet Almond oil - Used for centuries by Mediterranean women for its gentle, nourishing properties, this oil is rich in essential fatty acids and antioxidants that help soften skin and improve overall hydration.
Shea butter - Highly emollient and vitamin-rich, shea butter enhances moisture retention while improving skin texture, vitality, and radiance.

What do our customers say!

  • We love the products and they have worked a treat on my children's acne.
    Leah, Christchurch​
  • The scrub and cream did wonders for my cracked feet (which seem a thing of the past now) and has done wonders for my forever present eczema.
    Larissa, Maketu​
  • I love your moisturiser - it’s a beautiful product. Using your moisturiser isone of my favourite morning rituals! I really love using it and don’t want to ever run out!
    Adrienne, Hamilton
  • I first bought the product at your stand at the art festival event at Mission Bay a few weeks ago. My baby had really bad dry spots on her knees and legs and within a week of using the cream the dry areas had almost gone.
    Elise, Papakura
  • Love your products, particularly good for my dog's allergy to Wandering Jew. She just rolls over when she sees me with the jar and loves to have it smeared on her tum! Certainly stops her scratching.
    Linda, Wellington​
