SMALL-BATCH SKINCARE • AOTEAROA NEW ZEALAND

Thoughtfully made face and body care combining New Zealand native botanicals with carefully chosen ingredients. No complicated routines. No war against getting older. Just bloody good skincare.

SHOP SKINCARE

Where to start:

  • A dropper bottle of Lucid Leef Tōtara and Rosehip Face Serum lying flat on a mustard yellow background. The dropper lid is removed, and the serum is pouring onto the background. It is surrounded by rosehip and tree bark.

    Face

    Simple morning and evening care.

    Face

  • Flat lay of a bottle of Lucid Leef Mamaku and Pomegranate Body Lotion on a dark forest green background. 3 fern leaves fan out from behind the bottle and segments of pomegranate with loose seeds lay at the base. There are droplets of lotion trailing from the bottle spout.

    Body

    From quick everyday moisture to something a little more indulgent.

    Body

  • Lucid Leef Lip Balm Collection surrounded by apples, kiwifruit, berries and cherries to show the available flavours.

    Balm

    Hardworking care for lips, rough bits and everything in between.

    Balm

Your face isn't a problem to solve.

Lucid Leef isn't interested in declaring war on wrinkles or convincing you that getting older requires an intervention.

We make skincare for the skin you're actually living in, combining New Zealand botanicals with thoughtfully chosen ingredients and straightforward formulations.

Age well. Look after your skin. Carry on being human.

A Few of the Botanicals Behind the Bottles

  • A tall, ancient tree with a thick textured trunk and exposed roots stands in a dense green forest, with a narrow dirt path winding around its base.

    Tōtara


    A uniquely New Zealand botanical with naturally occurring antioxidant properties, featured at the heart of our Tōtara & Rosehip Face Serum.

  • Pōhutukawa tree in bloom, perched on a cliffside and hanging over the sea edge

    Pōhutukawa


    An iconic New Zealand native with antioxidant-rich bark extract, chosen as the hero botanical in our Pōhutukawa & Provitamin B5 Face Cream.

  • A dense fern forest with tall tree ferns and lush green undergrowth, shrouded in mist with soft light filtering through the canopy.

    Mamaku


    New Zealand's native black tree fern, featured in our Mamaku & Pomegranate Body Lotion as part of a botanical blend designed for everyday body care.

  • A lush green forest scene with leafy plants in the foreground and misty hills in the background.

    A much-loved New Zealand native infused into oil and used as the botanical foundation of our Kawakawa & Hemp Seed Rough & Ready Balm.

Don't Just Take My Word for It

  • Amazing products. My face feels amazing right from the first time I used it.

  • I have now tried pretty much every product available, and I love them all! My top favourites are the body butter (feels so bloody good and doesn't leave you greasy), the serum (my face is feeling hydrated and I'm noticing skin looking healthier), and just today my first time trying the face cream which went on like a dream and was the perfect base for my makeup before heading off to mahi. They all look good, and smell amazing! Love, love, love❤️

  • I bought one of everything. Everything smells divine and feels so good. The products don't feel too oily or clog the pores. My favourite so far has been the Mamaku & Pomegranate Body Lotion, put it on this morning and I can still smell it on me hours later. Highly recommend. They sent the products straight away and it arrived in timely manner. So good for a farmer who just doesn't want to smell like sweat and animal shite all day 🤘🏽😘

Hi, I'm Teresa.

The person responsible for choosing ingredients and making products to packing orders and being a little unhinged on social media.

I created Lucid Leef because I wanted skincare to feel less like a fight against getting older and more like simply taking good care of the skin we're living in.

So I make small-batch skincare here in Aotearoa, pairing some of our incredible native botanicals with carefully chosen ingredients from further afield.

No promises of eternal youth. No pretending wrinkles are a disgrace. Just thoughtfully made skincare, a slightly inappropriate sense of humour, and me figuring out how the hell to run a skincare business as I go.
