You Wash More Than Anyone — Your Skin Barrier Takes A Beating Every Single Day
Supermarket Soaps Are Loaded With Harsh Sulphates That Dry You Out Even More
Your Skin Needs Gentle, Plant-Based Ingredients To Recover Between Washes
NZ Botanicals Like Kōwhai And Mānuka Honey Actually Nourish And Repair Your Hands
Here's Why It Matters
4x The Exposure. 4x The Damage.
The average person washes their hands six to eight times a day. If you live with hyperhidrosis, you're washing fifteen, twenty, sometimes thirty times — just to feel comfortable. That's 4x the exposure to whatever's in your soap. And if that soap is loaded with sulphates and synthetic detergents? You're stripping your skin's natural oils four times faster than everyone else.
This is why your hand wash matters more than anyone else's. Every single wash is either damaging your skin barrier or helping it recover. Real World formulas are 100% plant-based, crafted in our own factory in Hastings using native NZ botanicals. They cleanse gently without stripping — which is exactly what your hands need when they're being washed twenty times a day.
- 4x more washes = 4x more exposure to whatever's in your soap
- Sulphates strip your natural oils every single time you wash
- Plant-based ingredients cleanse without destroying your skin barrier
- Kōwhai and Mānuka Honey actively nourish and repair between washes
- Made in our own factory in Hastings, Hawke's Bay — no outsourcing
Pick any 3 Real World products for $100 and give your hands what they actually need — gentle, plant-based formulas that clean without punishing skin that's already under pressure.

I Had No Idea My Soap Was The Problem
"I have hyperhidrosis and wash my hands at least 20 times a day. I always blamed my condition for my cracked, bleeding hands. Then I learned that supermarket soap was making it so much worse — the sulphates were destroying my skin barrier every single wash. Switched to Real World and within a week the difference was incredible."
The 4x Exposure Thing Is Real
"Someone explained that if you wash 4x more than the average person, you're getting 4x the exposure to harsh chemicals. That clicked for me. I sweat excessively and wash constantly — every soap I tried dried me out completely. Real World is the first hand wash that actually moisturises while it cleans. Absolute game changer."
Plant-Based Actually Makes A Difference
"I used to think 'plant-based' was just marketing. But when you're washing your hands 15+ times a day, you feel the difference immediately. My knuckles used to crack and bleed — I just accepted it as part of having excessive sweating. Real World proved me wrong. Gentle, effective, and my hands have never felt better."
Worth Every Cent Of The Bundle
"I go through hand wash faster than anyone I know because of my sweating condition. The pick-any-3 bundle is perfect — I grabbed the hand wash, dishwash liquid, and bench spray. Everything is gentle enough for constant use, and it smells absolutely beautiful. My hands are recovering instead of getting worse."
Wish I'd Known Sooner
"I spent years using 'sensitive' supermarket soap thinking I was doing the right thing. Turns out it was still full of sulphates. Since switching to Real World, my skin actually feels nourished after washing — not tight and stripped. The Mānuka Honey and Kōwhai genuinely make a difference. I didn't think that was possible."
Finally Understand Why Ingredients Matter
"As someone who deals with excessive sweating, I never thought about what was actually in my soap. Once I understood that I was exposing my skin to harsh chemicals 20+ times a day, everything made sense. Real World is genuinely different — plant-based, made in NZ, and my hands feel moisturised instead of punished. I'll never go back."
Made By Us. For Your Hands.
Made In Our Own Factory In Hastings.
We started Real World because we couldn't find cleaning products that were genuinely gentle on skin. Everything in the supermarket claimed to be 'sensitive' but was still packed with synthetic surfactants, artificial fragrances, and petrochemicals that left our hands dry and irritated. 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 clean your home without punishing your skin — no matter how many times a day you need to wash.
— Nicola & Adam, Founders of Real World
