NOT ANOTHER HAND WASH

Slow process liquid soap

Our organic liquid soaps are made using the traditional saponification technique that dates back thousands of years.

Under the stewardship of artisan technicians, our liquid soaps are formulated with 98% certified organic plant lipids and extracts using a slow process method that takes many weeks and requires exceptional skill.

This minimal intervention method results in a silky formulation with a rich lather that gently cleanses and removes impurities without stripping away moisture, disrupting barrier function, or destabilising your microbiome.

Our liquid hand and body soaps are 100% natural, biodegradable and vegan; free from synthetics, sulfates and parabens; suitable for sensitive skin; and made in small batches in Melbourne before being hand filled into glass bottles.

This is not another hand wash.

Small batch, big difference

Our formulations are made in small batches by artisan technicians who draw on slow processes and time-honoured methods. These labour-intensive techniques — which require exceptional skill and attention to detail — result in quality that can’t be matched by the mass production process.

Once finalised, the formulations are hand filled into our embossed glass vessels. Our luxury woven cotton labels are hand cut and hand applied to ensure the highest level of care and quality.

THE IPHONE TEST

Biocompatible formulations

WØRKS hand creams and body balms have been specifically formulated to absorb into the skin within one minute.

We call it the iPhone test.

With a focus on skin-synergistic plant lipids, extracts and botanicals, we’ve developed biocompatible formulations that mimic the skin's own natural oils.

The result is a collection of formulations that are rapidly accepted into the deeper dermal layers to support the skin’s natural processes; deeply hydrate and repair; assist cellular regeneration and collagen synthesis; and replenish vital elements that are lost through ageing and environmental exposure - without leaving a greasy finish.

Because the demands of modern life mean it's more important than ever to find moments of respite for self care.

microbiome health

Seed-to-skin formulations

Our seed-to-skin approach transcends the trend of ‘natural’ products.

We identify the best biocompatible ingredients that support your skin’s own processes and strengthen barrier function without disrupting your microbiome. We source these ingredients from certified organic farms, where they are grown without pesticides or chemicals. Once they reach our lab in Melbourne, we process them in small batches using a minimal intervention method to preserve their natural benefits and maximise their potency.

The result is a thoughtfully developed collection of formulations rooted in the natural world that harness botanicals to enhance, nourish, and protect your skin.

Signature scents from nature's best

Each of our formulations carries a signature scent blended by a Master Perfumer. This labour intensive process prioritises holistic sensory experience and harnesses the power of fragrance to enhance mental and emotional wellbeing.

Once completed, the fragrance is infused into our hand and body care formulations by hand.

Blended from pure essential oils, steam distilled botanicals and cold pressed plant extracts, every WØRKS scent is certified by the International Fragrance Association (IFRA), which is the highest global health and safety standard.

So you can breathe easy.
