This is the one we made first, in 2016.

Before the Pain Relief Cream, before the roll on, before any of it, there was one jar on a Tasmanian market stall: Kunzea Oil in a rich, plant-oil base, sold to people with hands that had spent the winter cracked open. Customers still call it Zea Cream. It has been in the range ever since because the people who buy it never stop.

Why you’ll love it

Deep moisturising

Built for hands, heels and elbows that keep drying out.

Absorbs without the film

Rich to apply, non-greasy once it is in.

No burning sensation

Gentle enough for sensitive and acne-prone skin.

Hands, face and body

One jar for the whole family and all ages.

The Kunzea scent

Fresh Tasmanian bush, not a synthetic fragrance.

Doubles as a massage cream

Enough slip to work with, without the mess of an oil.

Being straight about it, because it is the one thing customers get wrong: if your reason for buying is pain, buy the Kunzea Pain Relief Cream. The Original is a moisturiser and is not intended to treat any specific ailment.

See the ingredient glossary

Kunzea Oil Tasmanian

Kunzea ambigua, plantation-farmed as well as wild harvested in Tasmania. It is the reason the cream smells the way it does, and the reason this jar exists at all.

Sweet Almond, Grape Seed and Rice Bran The carriers

Three light plant oils rather than one heavy one. That combination is what lets the cream feel rich going on and disappear rather than sit on the surface.

Shea Butter The richness

The ingredient doing the work on cracked heels and winter hands. It is also why customers report that a little goes a long way, and why a 100mL jar lasts.

When to reach for it

Dry hands

After every wash, and beside the kitchen sink.

Cracked heels

Thickly at night, socks on, done by morning.

Face and neck

An everyday moisturiser with no synthetic fragrance.

Elbows and knees

The bits that stay rough no matter the season.

After the shower

Straight onto damp skin, head to toe.

Sensitive skin

No burning sensation and nothing added for scent.

As a massage cream

Practitioners use it for the slip and the aroma.

Winter, all of it

Heating, hot showers and wind, in one jar.

Ten years of people not switching.

Zea began in 2016 as a family market stall in Tasmania and we are now Australia’s only Certified B Corporation in natural pain relief, donating 1% of all sales to the planet. We have reformulated plenty since then. We have never reformulated this. The most common thing longtime customers tell us is some version of the same sentence: I have been using this cream for years and I keep a spare.

Questions, answered

Is this the same as Kunzea Pain Relief Cream?

No, and this is the question we get most. The Original Kunzea Cream is an everyday skin cream for nourishing and moisturising, and it is not intended to treat any specific ailment. The Kunzea Pain Relief Cream is our extra-strength formulation, registered with the ARTG as a listed medicine (AUST L 360 331) to relieve the symptoms of mild arthritis, mild joint pain, muscle aches and pains, and mild nerve pain and sciatica. If you are buying for pain, buy that one.

What is the Original Kunzea Cream?

Also known as Zea Cream, it is the cream that started the company: a rich, fast-absorbing, non-greasy moisturiser built around Tasmanian Kunzea Oil, for hands, face and body.

What is in it?

Tasmanian Kunzea Oil in a nourishing base of Sweet Almond Oil, Grape Seed Oil, Shea Butter and Rice Bran Oil, with purified water, vegetable glycerin and a cosmetic preservative system. Free from synthetic fragrances, parabens and sulphates, and palm oil free.

What skin types does it suit?

All skin types, including sensitive skin, and it applies without any burning sensation. It also suits acne-prone skin and works well as an intensive hand cream.

Can I use it on my face?

Yes. Unlike the Pain Relief Cream, the Original is formulated for hands, face and body. Patch test first if your skin is reactive.

How do I use it?

Apply to the area 3 to 4 times daily, or as required, rubbing gently in a circular motion until absorbed. It is family friendly and suitable for all ages.

How long does a 100mL jar last?

Longer than people expect. The most common comment in reviews is that a little goes a long way, and used as a daily hand and body moisturiser most customers get a couple of months out of a jar.

Can I subscribe?

Yes. Subscribe and Save takes 15% off with automatic delivery every 30, 60 or 90 days, and you can pause, skip or cancel at any time from your account.
