Night Cream - Repair & Replenish 50ml

The Bio Whenua Night Cream - Repair & Replenish is a rich, comforting night moisturiser made to deeply nourish your skin and help it recover while you sleep. At the heart of this soothing blend is a mix of active plant extracts, including Native Mamaku Black Fern, Red Seaweed, Kakadu Plum, Gotu Kola, and Liquorice Root, combined with Black Cumin Seed CO2 extract and Vitamin E. Made with a gentle base of Lavender Hydrosol, Shea Butter, and Aloe Vera Gel, this smooth cream gives your skin overnight moisture without feeling heavy or sticky, so you wake up with a soft, calm, and refreshed face.

Underneath its rich texture, this cream is a balanced mixture of water/hydrosol and oil ingredients that keep moisture in the outer layer of your skin overnight. The water-based part uses Lavender Hydrosol and Aloe Vera Gel to cool and hydrate dry skin cells. The oil-based part blends unrefined Shea Butter with cold-pressed Hemp Seed, Evening Primrose, and Calendula-infused oils to lock that moisture in while you rest. To help your skin recover from daily wear and tear, Vitamin C-rich Kakadu Plum, Black Cumin Seed CO2 extract (an extract made using pressurised carbon dioxide instead of harsh chemicals), and natural Vitamin E provide overnight antioxidant support (helping to protect and refresh skin cells after daytime exposure to sun and pollution).

Skincare Ritual & Well-being Applications: The plant extracts and cold-pressed oils in this night cream work together to look after your skin's natural protective barrier while your body rests. In traditional New Zealand plant books, the natural gel inside Mamaku Black Fern fronds and the natural sugars in Red Seaweed are known for cooling the skin and holding in water to keep skin feeling firm and smooth [1]. Herbal textbooks also show that Gotu Kola, Liquorice Root, and Kakadu Plum contain natural plant compounds and Vitamin C that support healthy skin structure, calm skin redness, and brighten your overall skin tone [2].

The oil blend is naturally high in gamma-linolenic acid (GLA, a healthy Omega-6 fat found in plant seeds) from Evening Primrose and Hemp seed oils, alongside soothing Calendula flower extract, which helps comfort dry, tight, or tired skin [2, 3]. Black Cumin Seed CO2 extract also contains thymoquinone (an active natural compound found in black cumin seeds) that helps soothe and clear the skin [3, 4]. Because this cream gets its soft, relaxing scent naturally from pure Lavender Hydrosol, gently rubbing it into your face, neck, and upper chest is a calm, peaceful way to wind down before bed [5].

Dermal Limits & Clinical Safety: Made without added essential oils or artificial scents, making it a gentle choice for sensitive, easily upset, or mature skin. To keep the water-based plant extracts fresh and safe from bacteria and mould, it is preserved with Geogard Ultra (a gentle, eco-friendly preservative approved for natural skincare).

Storage & Degradation: Because natural plant oils like Evening Primrose and Hemp seed oil can break down if they get too hot or are left open to the air, always screw the lid on tightly after each use. Store the jar in a cool, dark cupboard away from direct sunlight and heat.

Critical Warnings: For use on the outside of the skin only. Keep out of your eyes. We always recommend testing a small dab of cream on the inside of your arm for 24 hours before using it on your face for the first time. If your skin gets red or itchy, stop using it and wash the area with warm water.
