Collection: Dry

When skin runs dry

Dry by reason or season

Skin gets dry for all sorts of reasons, from a dry winter, to a hot summer, by natural wind and sun or by artificial heating and cooling.

It can announce itself after a swim in the ocean or a hot shower when shins and elbows start to feel tight. Sometimes you notice it in the afternoon when the lotion you applied in the morning has disappeared.

More oil, less fuss

Dry skin needs rich oils, less water and something to hold them in.  Lotions with water as the first ingredient, rarely do the job, olive oil and beeswax do.

Pick the patch that bothers you most

Dry skin is not just on your face, so we have chosen a body butter and two balms that between them cover most of what needs softening.

Three hero ingredients

Every product, from the cleanser to the balm, is built on three simple things, because skin that is dry does better with less.

Fresh goats milk

Milked on our farm and the first ingredient in our soaps and cleansers. It is a mild, creamy base that leaves skin feeling soft rather than tight, and we know every goat it came from.

Local olive oil

From olives harvested once a year in the Margaret River Region. Rich in natural fats your skin recognises is why it sits so well in a balm or a serum for drier skin.

Beeswax from Brad’s hives

Harvested from our own hives with the honey. Beeswax helps seal in the moisture and prevents dehydration from evaporation. No water, no preservatives.

Simple does not have to mean expensive

Skincare does not need twelve steps, lots of chemicals, or lots of money.

Three products, used regularly, will do more for your skin than a bathroom cabinet full of half-used jars.

Because we sell direct from the farm, our range costs considerably less than most natural skincare.

You pay purely for what is in the product, rather than the packaging around it.

Your three products

A body butter and two balms. Start with whichever dry patch is bothering you most.

Whipped body butter

A rich, whipped moisturiser for dry skin all over, which soaks in easily and leaves skin soft and smooth. A little goes a long way.

WOODY balm

A hard-working balm with a warm, woodsy scent, made for dry skin through the winter months. It is concentrated, so a little goes a long way, and it tends to get borrowed by the rest of the family.

ACOBECO unscented balm

The unscented version of our everyday balm, made on the farm with nothing your skin does not need. It softens and hydrates from head to toe, lips included.

Why we call it SLOW skincare

You cannot hurry a goat, an olive tree or a herb garden. The pace is in the ingredients, and in the way we make it.

Goats run the farm

Our kids are dam raised so mum has to wean her kids before we can start milking. Our milk follows the rhythm of the farm, and our farm follows the rhythm of the goats.

Olives, once a year

The olives are harvested once a year, so the oil in your balm comes from a single season of growing and waiting.

Herbs, grown here

The herbs we infuse are grown on the farm, picked when they are ready and used in small batches which are fresh when they reach you.

Used by real people, in real homes

Our products do not live only on bathroom shelves. They turn up in handbags, kitchen drawers, nappy bags and gardening sheds, and they get used by the whole family.

A beautifully rich moisturiser that deeply rehydrates dry skin. It soaks in easily, leaving the skin smooth and soft.

Nicola, Perth, on the whipped body butter

Great for the dry winter months.

Evonne, Perth, on the WOODY balm

This has been such a good all rounder.

Ebony, Melbourne, on the ACOBECO balm

Everything we sell comes from a working farm, not a factory.

It is made by hand, in small batches, by the same person who milks the goats.

From our farm to your door.
