The Hand Wash You’ll Keep Coming Back To: Why Yaye is Australia’s Favourite in 2025
When it comes to daily essentials, few products are as frequently used or as often overlooked as hand wash. But not all hand soaps are created equal. At Yaye, hand hygiene is more than just cleansing. It’s about reconnecting with Country, supporting skin health, and celebrating Aboriginal wisdom through the power of native plants.
As Australia’s leading Aboriginal-owned bath and body brand, Yaye continues to rise in popularity thanks to its plant-based, biodegradable formulas and luxurious sensory experience. Whether you’re at home, at work, or gifting someone special, Yaye’s hand wash range delivers a ritual that feels as good as it performs.
What Makes Yaye’s Hand Wash Different?

From antioxidant-rich Berrigan to refreshing White Cypress and zesty Lemongrass, every extract is chosen to nourish, cleanse, and uplift.
- Plant-Based and Biodegradable Yaye’s hand washes are made without palm oil, parabens, or synthetic fillers. They are gentle on skin and safe for greywater, making them a sustainable choice for eco-conscious homes.
