Handmade In Aotea

All Aotea products are handmade on Aotea (Great Barrier Island) New Zealand using native flora grown, harvested, extracted, and bottled by our team. Our ingredients are predominantly natural, with a focus on organic sources whenever feasible. While we prioritize organic ingredients, it's essential to acknowledge that not all can be certified organic due to being wild-harvested, reflecting the unique nature of our island-based production process.

The Aotea essentials pack contains:

1 x Kawakawa Balm - 30gm

The perfect balance between incredible versatility and technical care, this thick and enriched emollient balm can be used to treat irritations of the skin associated with dry skin, eczema, psoriasis, bites, burns, nappy rash, chapped lips, and acne. The Kawakawa plant is species native to New Zealand. It contains the plant active Diayangambin, which is a naturally occurring anti-inflammatory that can help with a wide range of skin irritations. This formulation also includes extracts from the Manuka Plant, which is another plant native to New Zealand. Manuka Oil contains β-Triketones, which are potent antibacterial and antifungal agents, which makes them the perfect addition to topical healing balm.

1 x Mānuka Hand & Body Wash - 300ml

A gentle wash to effectively cleanse your skin without stripping the natural barrier. The Manuka plant is native to New Zealand and contains β-Triketones. These active ingredients are potent antibacterial and antifungal agents, which makes them the perfect addition to a hand and body wash. Also included in this formulation is Kūmarahou, which is also a plant native to New Zealand that mainly grows in the upper North Island. Kūmarahou flowers and leaves contain saponins, which are natural surfactants that produce a foamy lather, which can gently cleanse your hands and your body without using the harsh chemicals that are often found in soaps.

1 x Mānuka Oil - 10ml

A multi-purpose, anti-bacterial, and anti-fungal oil that effectively cleans the skin. This oil has a wide range of uses such as treating acne, as well as reducing general redness and inflammation by clearing congested pores. You can also use to naturally treat cuts, abrasions, and to support wound healing by killing infection-causing bacteria. Research shows that Mānuka oil contains a vast range of terpenoids that inhibit the growth of bacteria and fungi. It is 30x more powerful than Tea Tree Oil and is considered to be one of the most potent 100% natural disinfectants on the planet. Handmade in small batches on Aotea. Products may vary slightly from batch to batch. We hope that you enjoy our interpretation of the traditional use of New Zealand's native flora.

Mānuka

Like our other inputs, our Mānuka oil is extracted onsite at our farm. The oil is used extensively in our range exhibiting anti-microbial and healing qualities. We also use Mānuka hydrosol which is a by-product of our distillation process that closes pores in the skin and is incredibly restorative.

Kawakawa

Kawakawa is revered among Māori as being super healing and restorative. We pick the Kawakawa leaves from our land on Aotea. Our Kawakawa extract is 100% natural and made by steeping the leaves for one week in sweet almond oil.
