The McArthur Story — From a Kitchen Bench to Your Bathroom
It started with Tom McArthur, known to thousands as “the Paw Paw Man”, who learned in the jungles of Borneo what paw paw could do, and came home to build a following one jar at a time from a kitchen bench in Hervey Bay. Channel 7 told his story. Thousands of Australians trusted his name.
Today his son Darren carries the family tradition forward with Tom’s blessing — with his own original formulations, built from scratch for a new generation. Same values. New recipes. No shortcuts.
Every product in our range is natural skincare, Australian made: our paw paw cream with magnesium — a true magnesium cream built on 60% paw paw extract, the real fruit — our face cream pairing hyaluronic acid with 30% paw paw, our handmade soap with certified organic coconut oil (unscented, the way skin likes it), and our Kakadu plum capsules carrying one of the richest natural sources of vitamin C on Earth.
Everything we make is a moisturiser at heart — made to absorb in, hydrate deeply and leave nothing greasy behind. No petroleum, ever. No beeswax, no animal ingredients — vegan and cruelty-free, always. Certified organic ingredients, listed openly on every label. Made in Australia, the honest way.
That’s not a marketing story. That’s a family keeping a promise for two generations.

Another Batch Has Arrived
A fresh run of handmade paw paw cream has arrived from interstate — boxed and going straight out to customers. We’re still working through a back order.
You won’t find this on a chemist shelf. It’s handmade in Australia, in small batches, and it sells out.
Our Paw Paw Magnesium Cream 200ml is 60% real paw paw — real fruit, not powder. No added water: certified organic aloe vera leaf juice in its place. Then certified organic cocoa butter and shea butter, Moroccan chamomile, lavender and ylang ylang. 0.9% phenoxyethanol to keep it safe in the bottle. That’s the whole list.
Ingredients like that usually carry a department-store price. Ours don’t.
It comes in a sealed pump — no fingers in the bottle, so it stays fresh on under 1% preservative. And it’s thicker than most creams, so a little goes a long way.
Hands, knees, elbows, feet, heels — that’s why it’s called a body cream. It’s a hand cream, a foot cream and a body moisturiser for dry skin, all in the one bottle.

And our natural soap — handmade, unscented and fragrance free.

Paw paw cream — quick answers
What is paw paw cream?
Paw paw cream — also spelled pawpaw or papaw, and known as papaya, popo, or botanically Carica papaya — is a skincare cream made with the paw paw fruit. Real McArthur paw paw cream contains 60% Australian-grown, certified-organic paw paw on an organic aloe vera base — not petroleum jelly — to moisturise and soften dry skin.
What is paw paw cream used for?
It’s an everyday moisturiser — commonly used on dry skin, hands, elbows and feet. A little goes a long way.
What’s the difference between paw paw cream and paw paw ointment?
Traditional paw paw ointments are made on a petroleum jelly base. Real McArthur paw paw cream uses an organic aloe vera base with 60% paw paw, so it absorbs into the skin without the greasy feel.
Where is Real McArthur paw paw cream made?
Made in Australia, with Australian-grown, certified-organic paw paw — by Darren McArthur, son of Tom McArthur, carrying on with his blessing.
Can I use paw paw cream as a hand cream?
Yes — it’s a light, fast-absorbing body cream, so it’s a favourite for dry, hard-working hands. A little goes a long way.
Can I use it on my elbows, knees, heels and feet?
Yes. It’s a rich all-over moisturiser for dry, rough spots like elbows, knees, heels and feet. For very dry areas, try a thicker layer before bed.
Can I use paw paw cream on my face?
Yes, many people do. We also make a lighter Paw Paw Face Cream with hyaluronic acid and 30% paw paw, made just for facial skin.
Does paw paw cream have petroleum in it?
No. Ours is made on a certified-organic aloe vera base instead of petroleum jelly, so it absorbs into the skin rather than sitting greasy on top.
Does paw paw cream contain hydroquinone?
No — there is no hydroquinone in Real McArthur paw paw cream. You can see the full ingredient list on our ingredients page.
Can I put paw paw cream on my dog?
Our cream is made as a cosmetic for people, so we can’t give advice for pets. For anything to do with your dog’s skin, please check with your vet.
Can I use paw paw cream on tattoos?
People use it to keep tattoos soft and moisturised once they’ve fully settled. For a new tattoo, always follow your tattoo artist’s aftercare advice.
