FAQ

What is Genie in a Jar and what does it do?
Genie in a Jar is a 100% natural skincare range made in New Zealand that exfoliates, hydrates, and protects dry, rough or problem-prone skin. The products combine New Zealand sea salt with a signature blend of essential and botanical oils to remove dead skin cells, boost moisture and support skin health without harsh chemicals. Genie in a Jar is trusted by thousands across NZ for dry hands, cracked heels, itchy skin, and general dryness.
How does Genie in a Jar help dry or cracked skin?
The body scrub gently exfoliates dead, dry skin, opening pores and allowing nourishing oils to penetrate deeply. When rinsed, the oils leave a protective barrier that locks in moisture, helping repair dryness and soothe problems like cracked heels, hands, and rough patches. The moisturiser that follows deeply hydrates and repairs the skin, supporting long-lasting softness and comfort.
How do I use Genie in a Jar products for best results?
  • For best results:
  • - Body Scrub: Massage onto dry skin (hands, feet, elbows, body) until salt dissolves, then rinse. Use 2–3 times a week.
  • - Moisturiser: Apply daily, particularly after showering or exfoliating, to lock in hydration.

  • For cracked heels or very dry areas, alternate scrub and moisturiser to maximise repair. Consistent use over days to weeks typically shows improvement in texture and hydration.
Can I use Genie in a Jar on other parts of my body?
Absolutely - the products are designed to be used head to toe on dry or troubled skin areas, including hands, feet, elbows, knees, arms, legs and even the scalp if dryness is present. Just avoid sensitive areas like eyes.
Is Genie in a Jar suitable for sensitive skin or skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis?
Many users with sensitive skin conditions like eczema, dermatitis, or psoriasis have found comfort with Genie in a Jar due to its natural, gentle ingredients that hydrate and help soothe irritation. However, individual reactions vary, so perform a patch test and consult a dermatologist if you have a diagnosed condition or severe flare-ups.
What ingredients are in Genie in a Jar products?
Genie in a Jar products include:New Zealand sea salt – exfoliates and prepares skin for nourishment
Macadamia oil, jojoba oil, sweet almond oil, shea butter, aloe vera, and Vitamin E – deeply hydrate and support skin barrier
Essential oils such as lemon myrtle, lime, peppermint, bergamot, mandarin, and patchouli – each chosen for soothing, antibacterial and calming properties
Why choose natural products over synthetic alternatives?
Natural formulations like Genie in a Jar avoid harsh chemicals, artificial fragrances, and alcohols that can strip natural oils and worsen dry skin. Botanical oils and plant-based ingredients are gentler, support moisture retention and can soothe irritation without irritating sensitive skin.
