ABOUT GENIE IN A JAR
Natural skincare that works hard - just like you.
Genie in a Jar blends the healing power of nature with straightforward, effective formulations that support your skin’s health every day. Proudly made in New Zealand, our range is designed to exfoliate, hydrate and protect - no fluff, no fillers, just results you can feel.
Exfoliates dead skin, clears pores and leaves a soft, protective layer of moisture behind.
Non-greasy hydration made to soothe, repair and protect even the most sensitive skin - works great under makeup.
A solid soap bar that cleans without drying - ideal for hands, body and frequent washing.
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 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.
