Soothes dry skin and gives relief from dryness on hands, elbows, heels and feet. A natural hand cream and body moisturiser the whole family will love.

An everyday luxury: rich yet light, it sinks in to leave skin silky and soft, with no greasy film.

It’s an aloe vera moisturiser at heart: the base is certified organic aloe vera juice instead of water, with 60% organic paw paw extract and magnesium.

What is paw paw magnesium cream good for?

Our paw paw magnesium body cream is a rich, non-greasy moisturiser for dry skin, made in Australia on a base of certified organic aloe vera juice instead of water, with 60% paw paw extract, skin-loving magnesium and natural plant oils. There is no petroleum jelly, no lanolin and no beeswax, so it is vegan and it sinks in rather than sitting on the skin. It is made for the places that dry out first: hands after washing up or gardening, rough heels and feet, elbows and knees, and anywhere skin feels tight. Massage a pea-sized amount into clean skin once or twice a day; at night on the feet with socks on gives the best result. It is a cosmetic moisturiser, so the claims are simple ones: it moisturises, softens and gives relief from dryness. For the face, use the lighter paw paw face cream with hyaluronic acid. One 200ml pump bottle is $54.95, posted Australia-wide by Australia Post.

Where should you rub magnesium cream?

Anywhere skin is dry: hands, elbows, knees, heels and feet. Many people like it on tired legs and feet at night. Keep it off broken skin, and use the face cream rather than this one on your face.

Description

Natural Paw Paw and Magnesium Body Cream

A rich, non-greasy body cream built on a base of organic aloe vera juice instead of water — never petroleum jelly. With 60% paw paw extract (also spelled pawpaw or papaw, and known as papaya, popo, or botanically Carica papaya), skin-loving magnesium, and natural organic oils.

No beeswax, no lanolin. Sinks in fast and leaves skin feeling soft, smooth and nourished.

Use it as a hand cream, a magnesium body lotion, or a heel balm for dry heels.

From the McArthur family — Darren, son of Tom McArthur — known to thousands as “the Paw Paw Man” — with his own original formulations, made with Tom’s blessing. 200ml pump bottle.

The fresh fruit difference

Most paw paw products start life as an imported, dried or freeze-dried powder. Ours never does. We use real Australian paw paw — fresh fruit extract from certified organic growers — so what goes into the bottle is the fruit as nature grew it. That’s the difference you can feel when it sinks in.

An aloe vera cream: built on aloe, not water

Look at any big-brand cream: the first ingredient is usually water. Ours is certified organic aloe vera juice — every drop of the base is doing something for your skin. With 60% paw paw extract — the real fruit, not a garnish — and skin-loving magnesium, it’s a true natural paw paw cream and magnesium cream in one.

What’s inside (and why the others can’t match it)

  • 60% real Australian organic paw paw extract — fresh fruit, never a dried or freeze-dried powder
  • Certified organic aloe vera juice — the entire base of the cream
  • Magnesium chloride — the mineral that makes it a magnesium cream
  • Organic coconut oil — one of our highest-searched natural oils
  • Organic shea butter — rich, softening, lasting moisture
  • Native quandong extract — an Australian desert peach used for generations by First Nations people
  • Organic cocoa butter — deep, lasting moisture
  • Natural vitamin E
  • Frankincense and Davidson plum — Australian superfruit and aromatic botanicals almost nobody else uses
  • Macadamia oil — Australia’s own luxury oil
  • Organic camellia oil, patchouli, bergamot, ylang ylang and rose geranium — the softening, well-being blend
  • Xanthan gum (natural thickener), citric acid — and less than 1% preservative

What’s NOT in it: petrolatum ✗ paraffin ✗ mineral oil ✗ beeswax ✗ lanolin ✗ parabens ✗ artificial fragrance ✗

A Natural Moisturiser for Dry Skin

An everyday all-over moisturiser — dry hands, rough elbows and heels, and anywhere skin needs softening and smoothing. Light enough for every day, kind enough for the whole family. The 200ml pump keeps it hygienic — no fingers in the jar, ever.

Looking for a body cream for dry skin, or a body moisturiser for dry skin without petroleum? This is ours: 60% paw paw extract with magnesium, on an organic aloe vera base.

Cream or ointment?

An ointment sits ON your skin as a greasy seal. This cream absorbs IN and gets to work. If you’ve only ever known the petroleum tubes, read the honest comparison — it’s why we exist.

From the fruit, not the refinery. Made in Australia.

Why Australians are switching to natural paw paw cream

For decades, the famous red tubs taught Australians that paw paw comes wrapped in petroleum jelly. A natural paw paw cream works differently: ours starts with organic aloe vera juice and 60% real paw paw extract — no petrolatum, no paraffin, no mineral oil, ever. If you’ve been comparing a paw paw ointment against a true cream, the difference is what your skin actually drinks in: see the honest comparison, or read what makes the best paw paw ointment.

One paw paw cream, the whole family

This 200ml pump is the workhorse: body, hands, elbows, heels — anywhere skin feels dry. Looking for a paw paw cream for your face? That’s exactly why we made our Paw Paw Face Cream with hyaluronic acid — lighter, with 30% paw paw and Kakadu plum. And for the shower, our unscented paw paw soap completes the set.

Keep it fresh — pump only

Please don’t unscrew the pump top. This cream carries less than 1% preservative — a fraction of what mass-market creams rely on, and part of what makes it special. That’s why it needs your care: unscrewing the top or touching the stem lets air and skin bacteria straight into the cream. Use only the pump — first press to last — and your cream stays exactly as we made it.
