Where it all started

New passions,
and unexpected detours.

More than a decade ago, Ruby Foley left Christchurch and a big-city law firm behind to live on a farm in the Waitaki Valley. That's where it all began.

She was first introduced to essential oils by her eldest sister, Mary. As a practical person, Ruby wanted a real, useful way to fold them into everyday life, so she began making face moisturiser at the kitchen bench, and kept at it for three quiet years, passing jars to family and friends.

In 2020 the formal retail journey began, and Mrs F. jars have since reached homes across Aotearoa. Making moisturiser, Ruby says, is her fun escape from the hard graft of farming life.

One thread, three jars

What's common to every jar.

Day Cream, Night Cream, and Mr F. each have their own balance, but the same handful of ingredients run through all three.

No. 01

Raw mānuka honey

A natural humectant with gentle antibacterial properties. It draws moisture in and helps skin hold onto it. In every jar we make.

No. 02

Avocado & sweet almond oil

Two lightweight carrier oils, rich in fatty acids and vitamin E. They carry the formula without ever sitting heavily.

No. 03

The essential oil blend

Carrot seed, frankincense, sandalwood, sweet fennel, lavender, geranium, rosemary and lemon, the same eight botanicals, every time.

What people are saying.

I have been using Mrs F Day Cream and Night Cream for the past 4 months, and I am truly impressed with the results. My skin feels softer, smoother, and much more hydrated, with a healthy natural glow that I didn’t have before. The day cream is lightweight and keeps my skin moisturized throughout the day, while the night cream deeply nourishes my skin, leaving it refreshed and radiant by morning. Both products are gentle, effective, and have become an essential part of my daily skincare routine. I am so pleased with the results and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for healthier, glowing skin.
