Dumburumba Clay and Ochre Scrub
Amongst the most treasured of native botanicals, Dumburumba leaves are blended with organic coconut oil to form a concentrated extract, which is then combined with soft white kaolin clay and an oatmeal soap base to create a wonderfully gentle foundation. Crushed leaves, bark, seeds and flowers create its exfoliating texture, and the addition of Groote Eylandt ochres colour this invigorating scrub the spectacular, ruddy palette of the land.
