For skin that won’t stop itching
Itchy skin is usually thirsty skin. Wellswood Intensive Skin Therapy is a fragrance-free, steroid-free moisturiser made in New Zealand — Manuka honey UMF 20+, pure NZ lanolin and vitamin E — built to comfort dry, itchy, sensitive skin.
A 100g tube is $52.30. The 3-pack is $141 — $47 a tube, free NZ shipping.
Why no perfume matters
Fragrance is one of the most common itch triggers in skincare. We leave it out entirely. What you smell is the honey — nothing else is added to cover it up.
The night-time routine
Itchy shins at night. Hands that itch after washing. The patch that flares in winter. Apply a layer before bed, keep the tube by the sink, and reapply after every wash. Little and often beats a lot once in a while.
What it is not
It is not an antihistamine cream, not hydrocortisone, and not a treatment for any condition. If your itch comes with a spreading rash, infection, or no obvious cause, see a doctor. For the eczema-prone angle, read for dry, itchy, eczema-prone skin.
FAQ
Does it stop itching?
It is a moisturiser, not an anti-itch medicine. Dry skin itches; well-moisturised skin itches less. Customers tell us the comfort is close to instant — but if an itch is severe, spreading or unexplained, see a doctor.
Can I use it at night?
Yes — a generous layer on itchy areas before bed is the most common habit our customers mention. Non-greasy, so it will not mark the sheets.
Is it an antihistamine or hydrocortisone cream?
No. It is steroid-free, antihistamine-free and unmedicated. It is a daily moisturiser for dry, itchy, sensitive skin.
What about insect bites?
Wellswood may assist in relieving the symptoms of insect bites, along with nappy rash and wind burn. Patch test first, and keep it out of eyes.
