Yes, we use compostable bags provided by r3pack, a New Zealand owned business. Each bag is made with corn starch, PLA, and PBAT, and uses non-toxic inks as a natural alternative to traditional plastic-based courier bags.

• Does Aotea support any community initiatives or donate money to charities?
Yes, we are proud to say that for every year we have been in business, we have provided scholarships to our rangatahi Māori (Māori youth) from Aotea to attend high school, and we are in the process of creating more jobs for whānau on the island.

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 gentle wash to effectively cleanse your skin without stripping the natural barrier.

The Mānuka 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.

We hope 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.
