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.

Ingredients
Kūmarahou
The kūmarahou flowers contain saponins, which are natural surfactants that produce a foamy lather, which can gently cleanse your hands and body without using the harsh chemicals normally found in soaps to create foam.
Harakeke seed oil is rich in omega 3,6 & 9 fatty acids. These fatty acids are nourishing topically for the skin and have been shown to restore depleted cell ingredients for the skin.
