Not just pretty names — these work
Nature’s vitamin-packed skin soother
Sea Buckthorn Oil (C02 extracted organic)
History & Origin:
Used in Tibetan, Mongolian, and Chinese medicine for over 1,000 years, sea buckthorn oil is extracted from the vivid orange berries of the Hippophae rhamnoides shrub. Thriving in harsh, windy climates like the Himalayas and coastal Europe, it has long been valued for healing wounds and rejuvenating skin.
Why it’s in Bondi Clear:
Brimming with vitamins A, C, and E, plus rare omega-7 fatty acids, sea buckthorn helps calm redness, speed skin repair, and strengthen the moisture barrier — exactly what reactive, sensitive skin needs.
Fun fact:
The ancient Greeks fed sea buckthorn to their horses to give them glossy coats.
The golden bloom that comforts skin
Calendula extract (organic)
History & Origin:
Calendula (Calendula officinalis) has graced European gardens since the Middle Ages, where its bright petals were used to heal wounds and soothe skin irritations. Rich in flavonoids and carotenoids, it’s been a trusted botanical remedy for centuries.
Why it’s in Bondi Clear:
Calendula gently reduces redness and supports skin’s natural recovery, helping to keep the complexion calm, balanced, and comfortable.
Fun fact:
Calendula petals were used in World War I dressings for their natural antiseptic properties.
Rich, nourishing care from nature’s butter fruit
Avocado oil (organic)
History & Origin:
Native to Central and South America, avocados (Persea americana) have been cultivated for more than 5,000 years. The oil, pressed from the creamy green flesh, has been used by Indigenous peoples to moisturise and protect skin from the elements.
Why it’s in Bondi Clear:
Loaded with vitamins A, D, and E, along with essential fatty acids, avocado oil penetrates deeply to replenish moisture and support skin repair — without feeling greasy.
Fun fact:
The Aztecs called the avocado ahuacatl, and prized it as both a nutrient-rich food and a natural skin conditioner.
Meet our soothing allies
Blue oil, big calming power
German Chamomile Essential Oil
History & Origin:
Used in ancient Egypt, Rome, and Greece for its soothing properties, German chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla) produces a distinctive deep blue essential oil thanks to its high chamazulene content — a potent anti-inflammatory compound.
Why it’s in Bondi Clear:
It visibly reduces redness, calms irritation, and promotes a more even skin tone, making it a quiet but powerful ally for sensitive and rosacea-prone skin.
Fun fact:
The blue colour only appears during steam distillation — it starts colourless in the flower.
Herbaceous calm for skin and senses
Cape Lavender Essential Oil (Organic)
History & Origin:
Cape lavender (Lavandula hybrida) is a hybrid species grown in South Africa’s coastal regions. Traditionally used in herbal medicine for its calming effects on both skin and mood, it’s known for its clean, crisp scent and gentle action.
Why it’s in Bondi Clear:
This essential oil helps soothe irritated skin and offers a light, grounding aroma without synthetic fragrance. It supports the calming action of our other botanicals — and smells like a gentle exhale.
Fun fact:
Cape lavender contains higher levels of linalool than common lavender, giving it an extra edge in calming skin and reducing reactivity.
Antioxidant protection for stressed-out skin
Vitamin E Oil (Natural)
History & Origin:
First identified in the 1920s, vitamin E (tocopherol) occurs naturally in oils like sunflower and wheat germ. It’s been used in skincare since the 1950s to nourish, protect, and restore skin barrier function.
Why it’s in Bondi Clear:
Vitamin E acts as a natural preservative and antioxidant, helping to shield skin from environmental stress. It also helps lock in moisture and soften dry or reactive areas.
Fun fact:
Vitamin E is fat-soluble, which means it stays in the skin longer — offering extended protection throughout the day.
