SIMPLE, NATURAL AND EFFECTIVE

Grown, harvested
& handcrafted
on Waiheke Island​

Inspired by my own garden, this skincare range is handcrafted in small batches using botanicals, some of which I grow, harvest, distill and infuse here on Waiheke Island.

MY INTENTION

To gently cultivate and instil a lasting connection to nature through wellbeing, self care and daily ritual.

BOTANICAL SKINCARE

The difference is in the details

Unlike mass-produced skincare, these formulations begin with botanicals I grow and process myself and source from ethical, trusted suppliers. We all know that what you put into and onto your body and into our environment matters.

EXPERTLY NURTURED

My approach

Each herb is harvested at its peak to harness it's optimum potency. The quality of the hydrosols and essential oils depend entirely on the quality of the herbs, how fussy I am with what I put into the still, how expertly I manage the distillation process and blend the products thereafter. Like all things, what you end up with, depends entirely on what you put into it.

“One week using your products and both kids are seeing an improvement in their skin. I have spent hundreds on products with no real success... I can't believe I found you at our local market. It's looking promising. My daughter even likes the smell of both products (very important at 13) and she says the Kawakawa makes her skin really smooth."

“After a hot compress, I applied the Bakuchiol Serum then a little of the Aloe Vera moisturiser - you're so right...it feels silky & glides on beautifully!  In the morning, my skin was not dry or tight at all, it felt supple but not oily. You've created something very special, I'm super excited about it.”

“I absolutely love my new Kawakawa Serum, it glides on like silk and in the morning it was like I'd just had a luxurious facial. Simply divine...”

CAROL. C / WAIHEKE ISLAND 

“I have been using very expensive products for 26 years, but wanted a more natural approach…the serums have totally improved my skin, no longer dry, no irritation and my blemishes have disappeared. I use the lighter Bakuchiol Serum in the day and the Kawakawa Cleansing Balm and Serum at night. My skin is loving these products. It’s cleaner, softer and overall looking so much better.”
