This natural cleansing, antiseptic and healing mud is rich in minerals. When it dries it produces heat and increases blood circulation to help eliminate toxins while absorbing excess oils and fatty secretions from the skin’s pores, leaving skin fresh, clean and balanced.

vanilla-oil

Vanilla is a great source of B vitamins, which play an important role in maintaining healthy skin. Calming and relaxing vanilla oil helps the skin regenerate and prevents drying. Using vanilla is also an effective natural way of preserving our skincare, plus it smells great!

Moringa is an amazing tree with many health benefits. Every bit of the moringa tree is edible. The natural vitamin C in moringa oil boosts collagen, helping reduce fine lines, wrinkles and sagging skin. This nutrient-dense oil makes for an excellent active ingredient, well known for its antibacterial and nourishing properties.

plant-based-retinol

Plant-based retinol

Our vegan-friendly retinol is derived from sustainable sources and free from allergens. Retinol penetrates the outer layer of the skin to deeply repair, restoring suppleness, plumping skin, smoothing fine lines, and promoting collagen production.

salicylic-acid

Salicylic acid

Also known as 2-hydroxybenzoic acid, salicylic acid occurs naturally in willow tree bark. It’s widely used as an FDA-approved safe and effective acne prevention product.

type-1-marine-collagen

Type 1 marine collagen

Harvested using sustainable aquaculture practices, Type 1 marine collagen is very close to human collagen, which is a vital component of connective tissues, organs, and bones. The older we get, the less collagen we produce. Type 1 marine collagen is used to strengthen not only skin, hair, and nails, but tendons, organs, and bones.

vitamin-c

Vitamin C

Vitamin C is a critical ingredient for the optimal absorption of collagen. This essential vitamin also boosts our immune system and helps to support brain function, gut, and cardiovascular health.

Skin cell regeneration

Our independent scientific research, conducted by Trinity Laboratories in New Zealand with the assistance of a New Zealand Ministry of Science and Innovation grant, has shown up to 80% skin cell regeneration using products that have properties found only in New Zealand, including active 16+ mānuka honey, superfruit extracts and pure New Zealand bee venom.

New Zealand Mānuka Honey

Mānuka honey has been the focus of extensive worldwide scientific research with evidence validating its unique healing properties, setting it apart from all other honeys. This is a secret the indigenous Māori of New Zealand have known for generations, using the entire mānuka bush for food, oral care, medicine, and wound healing.
Antibacterial: Methylglyoxal is the active ingredient in mānuka honey and is responsible for the anti-bacterial effect.
Anti-microbial: Studies show broad spectrum antimicrobial effects due to the low pH of mānuka honey.
Anti-viral: Mānuka honey houses compounds and enzymes that have been clinically proven to improve our immune system and protect from viruses.
Anti-inflammatory: Mānuka honey & mānuka oil (from the leaves), at the right concentration, can reduce redness and block substances in the body that cause inflammation. Mānuka oil can also reduce inflammation and aid in repair of fungal complaints.
Antioxidant: Our bodies need to maintain a balance between free radicals and antioxidants. When not balanced, it leads to oxidative stress. Mānuka honey is a powerful antioxidant both orally and topically naturally balancing our bodies.

New Zealand Bee Venom

Your skin reacts to bee venom as an irritant as though lightly stung with melittin – the active compound in bee venom. This provides the following benefits for your skin:
Collagen Stimulation: Increase blood circulation stimulating cell regeneration and the production of collagen.
Exfoliation: With a micro-damage/micro-repair philosophy, bee venom gently encourages skin cell renewal effective for skin repair and rejuvenation.
"Beetox": Considered a natural alternative to botox, the venom stimulates facial muscles for a natural anti-aging effect by smoothing and firming out fine lines.
Anti-inflammatory: Studies conducted on Melittin, the active compound in bee venom, have shown they can have a reduction in inflammation of acne-causing bacteria.

New Zealand Superfruits

New Zealand grown kiwifruit, grapes and berries are known to contain twice the level of antioxidants compared to those grown elsewhere in the world due to our high levels of UV exposure.
