The Plant-Based Solution
Safe For Worms. Safe For You.
Wayne and Sue on Waiheke Island built worm farms as a natural septic system. But supermarket dish liquid was killing all the worms — wiping out the very ecosystem that processed their wastewater. When they switched to Real World, the worms came back by the thousands.

Worm Farm Approved
"We run a worm farm septic system and supermarket products were killing everything. Switched to Real World and within weeks the worms were thriving again. The dish liquid cuts grease just as well — no compromise."
Finally Safe For Our Septic
"Living rurally with a septic system, I've always worried about what goes down the drain. Real World is the first brand I've found that actually works AND is genuinely safe for our system. The bench spray is incredible."
Beautiful On The Bench
"I'm so tired of ugly plastic bottles cluttering my kitchen. Real World bottles are minimal and beautiful — they sit on the bench like they belong there. And the scents are divine. Horopito & Mint is my favourite."
Gentle But Actually Works
"I was sceptical that a plant-based dish liquid could cut through baked-on grease. I was wrong. It works brilliantly and my hands don't crack anymore. Plus I know the greywater is safe for my garden."
The Bundle Is Incredible Value
"Picked 5 products in the bundle builder and saved nearly $100. Got the dish liquid, bench spray, hand wash, body wash, and toilet drops. Everything we need for the whole house. Will never go back to supermarket brands."
No More Chemical Guilt
"We live off-grid and everything goes back into the land. Real World is the only brand I trust completely. Plant-based, NZ-made, and it smells absolutely beautiful. The body wash is like a spa experience."
Made By Us. For You.
Made In Our Own Factory In Hastings.
We started Real World because we couldn't find products that were genuinely plant-based, actually effective, and beautiful enough to leave on the bench. So we built our own factory in Hastings, Hawke's Bay, and started making them ourselves.
Every bottle is formulated and filled by our team using NZ native botanicals — Kōwhai, Koromiko, Horopito, and Mānuka Honey. No synthetic fragrances, no petrochemicals, no greenwashing. Just honest products that work for your home and your environment — whether that's a worm farm, a septic tank, or a greywater system.
— Nicola & Adam, Founders of Real World
