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.

A rich and nourishing cream designed to replenish the skin and reduce inflammation.
Harakeke is a flax species that is native to New Zealand. The oil from Harakeke seeds is rich in Linoleic acid and Omegas 3, 6, and 9, which helps to lock in the moisture and nourish the skin, keeping it feeling smooth and supple.
Also included in this formulation is Manuka, which is another plant native to New Zealand. Manuka contains active ingredients that are potent antibacterial and antifungal agents, which makes them a perfect addition to a hand and body cream. We hope that you enjoy our interpretation of the traditional use of New Zealand's native flora.
You may notice that product varies slightly from batch to batch. Everything is handmade in small batches on Aotea.
