The Benefits

Cleansing

Cleansing involves using active cleansing agents to penetrate your skin and pores, breaking down and removing daily impurities, pollution particles, excess sebum, and makeup. Thoroughly cleansed skin renews and regenerates itself more effectively and absorbs follow-up products and active ingredients better.

Chemical Exfoliation

Chemical exfoliation uses acids to dissolve the "glue" holding dead skin cells together, promoting skin cell turnover and replacing old cells with new, healthy ones. Acids like AHAs, BHAs, and PHAs not only help shed skin but also offer benefits like brightening, clarifying, and anti-ageing, depending on the type used.

Hydrating

Hydration is all about the water content in your skin that keeps it supple and healthy. Humectants, ingredients with water-binding properties, deliver this hydration by attracting water molecules from the atmosphere. For the best results, apply hydrating serums right after a shower. Humectants not only replenish your skin's hydration but also enhance its water retention, creating a long-lasting hydration reservoir. Adding humectants like hyaluronic acid to your routine will restore your skin's healthy glow, minimize fine lines, and provide a plumping effect.

Anti-Acne


Anti-Acne takes a comprehensive approach to treating and preventing all types of acne, from common blackheads to inflamed pustules. It enhances your skin's resilience, controls bacterial growth, clears congested pores, regulates sebum (oil) production, and soothes inflammation. This targeted action leaves your skin clearer and less shiny, with tightened pores, reduced redness, and a more balanced complexion overall

Brightening

Brightening your skin means restoring its natural glow. One of the best ways to do this is through exfoliation. By exfoliating, you promote faster skin cell turnover, replacing old, damaged cells with fresh, radiant ones. This keeps your skin looking vibrant and healthy.

Regenerating

Regenerative benefits work to restore and renew your skin at a cellular level. By stimulating cell turnover and boosting collagen and elastin production, they help repair damage, diminish fine lines and wrinkles, and improve overall skin texture. The result is a rejuvenated, firmer, and more youthful complexion that radiates vitality.

Anti-Inflammatory

Anti-Inflammatory skincare soothes, heal, and balance your skin, the targeted actives are designed to reduce inflammation. Inflammation is your body's natural response to injury or irritation, but continuous inflammation can lead to troublesome skin conditions like acne, rosacea, or eczema. Our anti-inflammatory skincare solutions work to soothe and calm your skin, reducing redness, swelling, and discomfort to provide much-needed relief. By strengthening your skin's barrier, these products help protect against further irritation and damage. Additionally, the anti-inflammatory actives support your skin's natural healing processes, leading to a more balanced and resilient complexion.

Detoxifying

Detoxifying means using active ingredients to remove impurities, toxins, and pollutants from your skin. It protects your skin cells from damage caused by free radicals, promoting healthier, clearer, and more balanced skin.

Complexion-Evening (Anti-Blotchiness)

Evening skin tone is all about reducing blotchiness and achieving a more uniform complexion. Skincare products designed for this purpose use a blend of active ingredients, including soothing agents, anti-pigmentation compounds, antioxidants, and skin-restoring elements. These ingredients work together to diminish redness, inflammation, and pigment irregularities caused by inflammation, while also strengthening and protecting your skin against environmental irritants and future damage. This promotes healing and resilience, leaving your skin more balanced, radiant, and beautiful.

Skin Barrier Strengthening

Strengthening your skin barrier involves replenishing the key elements in the top layer of your skin (stratum corneum), leading to a stronger and healthier barrier. These essential elements include lipids (ceramides, fatty acids, and cholesterol) and Natural Moisturizing Factors (amino acids, hyaluronic acid, etc.). Various factors, such as incorrect skincare use, seasonal changes, and aesthetic treatments, can damage your skin barrier. When this happens, your skin loses excess water through Trans Epidermal Water Loss (T.E.W.L) and becomes less capable of defending against environmental stressors, resulting in dryness, sensitivity, and irritation.

A healthy skin barrier is crucial for overall skin health as it helps prevent hydration loss, protects against environmental damage, and reduces the risk of skin conditions like eczema and acne. By strengthening your skin barrier, you ensure your skin remains well-hydrated, resilient, and protected.

Active Ingredients

Kumarahou Flower

Kumarahou Flower, a native New Zealand botanical, is naturally rich in saponins—mild, plant-derived surfactants that cleanse without disrupting the skin’s lipid barrier. When activated by water, these saponins create a delicate, foaming emulsion that transforms the cleanser’s texture from honey to milk, lifting away impurities with ease. Beyond its cleansing function, Kumarahou supports deep hydration and barrier preservation, helping to prevent post-cleansing dryness and maintain optimal skin comfort. Its unique balance of purifying and hydrating actions makes it ideal for gentle, effective daily use.

Manuka Honey

Manuka Honey, wild-harvested from New Zealand’s eastern cape, is rich in methylglyoxal (MGO) and the enzyme glucose oxidase, which provide potent antibacterial and enzymatic exfoliating benefits. It helps break down excess oil and dead skin cells, reducing congestion and promoting a clearer, more even complexion. As a natural humectant, Manuka honey draws hydration into the skin and supports elasticity by maintaining optimal hydration levels. Its bioactive compounds help repair cellular damage, calm inflammation, and encourage skin regeneration, leaving the skin visibly smoother, more radiant, and resilient.

Mamaku Black Fern

Mamaku Black Fern Extract, sourced from the embryonic stage of New Zealand’s native Mamaku leaves, is rich in a unique, bioactive polysaccharide that delivers both soothing and structural skin benefits. Known for its ability to calm inflammation and reduce visible redness, it also helps hydrate and smooth dry skin. This naturally occurring polysaccharide forms a biodynamic matrix on the skin’s surface, creating a protective barrier that locks in moisture while delivering an immediate lifting and firming effect, leaving skin plump, calm, and visibly revitalised.

Kawakawa Leaves

Kawakawa Leaf Extract, sustainably harvested in Kawhia under the guidance of Mana Wahine, is deeply rooted in Mātauranga Māori tradition. Rich in bioactive compounds such as myristicin and diayangambin, this native New Zealand botanical offers powerful detoxifying, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial benefits. It helps to purify the skin, reduce acne-related irritation, and support a clearer complexion. Additionally, it stimulates microcirculation, encouraging cell regeneration and healing, while maintaining optimal moisture balance for calm, resilient skin.

Sodium Lauroyl

Sodium Lauroyl Methyl Isethionate is a gentle, coconut-derived surfactant known for its ultra-mild cleansing action and skin-compatible pH. As a sulphate-free alternative to harsher foaming agents, it effectively lifts impurities without disrupting the skin’s natural lipid barrier, making it ideal for daily use. It produces a rich, creamy lather that rinses clean and leaves the skin feeling soft, balanced, and comforted.

Lauryl Glucoside

Lauryl Glucoside is a non-ionic surfactant derived from natural glucose, offering a gentle yet effective cleansing action suitable for all skin types, including sensitive or reactive skin. Its mild, non-irritating profile allows it to cleanse without stripping moisture or disrupting the skin barrier.

Fruit Enzymes

Fruit Enzymes, such as Papain & Bromelain, are proteolytic enzymes derived from papaya and pineapple. They act as gentle exfoliants by breaking down proteins that bind dead skin cells to the surface, revealing brighter, smoother skin underneath. This enzymatic exfoliation is milder than chemical or physical exfoliation, making it suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. This enzymatic exfoliation promotes a brighter, more even complexion, reduces the appearance of pigmentation and acne scars, and leaves skin visibly smoother, softer, and more luminous.

Gluconolactone

Gluconolactone is a type of Polyhydroxy Acid (PHA), known for its larger molecular size compared to AHAs and BHAs. This characteristic enables it to penetrate the skin more gently, making it suitable for sensitive skin types. PHAs like Gluconolactone offer dual benefits: they exfoliate while also serving as humectants and antioxidants. Humectants are substances that attract and retain moisture from the environment or deeper layers of the skin, helping to hydrate the skin effectively. This moisturising effect, coupled with its antioxidant properties, helps improve skin hydration, protect against free radicals, and promote a brighter, clearer, and more youthful skin appearance.

Spotlight

Manuka Honey

Manuka Honey, wild-harvested from New Zealand’s eastern cape, is a highly bioactive ingredient renowned for its therapeutic and skin-restorative properties. Its potency lies in its elevated concentration of methylglyoxal (MGO), a naturally occurring compound responsible for its unique antibacterial and anti-inflammatory activity. The higher the MGO content, the stronger its ability to combat harmful bacteria, making it particularly effective in reducing acne, eczema, and irritation-prone conditions.

In addition to its antimicrobial benefits, Manuka honey contains the enzyme glucose oxidase, which produces small amounts of hydrogen peroxide, enhancing its ability to purify the skin and support enzymatic exfoliation. By breaking down excess oil and loosening keratin-bound dead skin cells, it helps to unclog pores, smooth texture, and brighten the complexion.

Functioning as a natural humectant, Mānuka honey draws moisture into the skin and helps regulate water retention, which improves hydration, elasticity, and overall barrier integrity. Rich in amino acids, vitamins, and phenolic compounds, it also stimulates cell regeneration, accelerates wound healing, and helps minimise the appearance of scarring over time. The result is visibly clearer, more resilient, and radiant skin.
