FROM OUR FARM, TO YOUR SKIN

Many of the plants used to create the essential oils used in our product range are grown on our very own farm, situated on the NSW Mid-North coast, about three hours drive north of Sydney. This includes our tea tree, lemon scented tea tree, lavender tea tree and salt bush. These plants are also essential in producing our Manuka Honey as the bees feed on the flowering lemon scented tea tree.

Distilling our essential oils

After our plants have been harvested, they are dried and then distilled into essential oils on site using traditional distillation methods.

Freshwater Farm is home to nearly 100 acres of native botanical plants.

Research & developement

Every product in the Freshwater Farm portfolio has been developed onsite in our Sydney manufacturing plant. With many years of experience in chemistry and cosmetics, our team strive to create beautifully scented, nourishing products that are kind to skin.
