Christmas Deliveries & Closure Dates 🎄✨

As we start to wrap up for the year, we just want to say a huge thank you for all your support throughout 2025.

We are still a small family business run out of our home in Devonport, and we genuinely wouldn’t be here without you. Whether you are a DIY maker or running your own skincare brand, we are so grateful you choose to source your ingredients from us.

Last day to place orders: 21 December
Reopening: 12 January

You can still place orders while we are closed, but they will not be packed or shipped until we are back.

With peak courier season and the January backlog, there may be a few delays, so thank you so much for your patience.

Every order, message, review and shared creation means the world to us.

Thank you for letting us be part of your creative journey 💛

✨ NEW! Organic Facial Serum Kit ✨

We’re so excited to finally share this one, a project we’ve been working on for a long time to get just right. And it’s ready, just in time for Christmas 🎁

✨ FREE FORMULA ✨

Liquid Gold Skin Replenishing Serum

We’re sharing this much-loved formula again because our bakuchiol prices have just dropped big time!

Bakuchiol is often called a natural vitamin A alternative, said to encourage skin cell turnover and help even tone, all without the irritation that can come with retinol.

FUN FACT 💛 This serum has been so popular that when we once tried to remove the ready-made version, you wouldn’t let us, so it’s here to stay! You can buy the finished product, or stock up on bakuchiol (now at a much better price!) and make it yourself 🤩

The base:
⭐️ Coco caprylate, silky, lightweight, easy to spread
⭐️ Squalane, a skin-identical emollient that locks in moisture

The nourishing oils:
⭐️ Camellia oil, restorative, fast-absorbing
⭐️ Evening primrose oil, helps support softness & elasticity
⭐️ Sea buckthorn fruit oil, a gorgeous golden glow in every drop
⭐️ Plus a touch of geranium and helichrysum essential oils bring antioxidant and regenerative benefits while adding a delicate aroma.

✨ Huge Price Drop on Bakuchiol! ✨

In case you missed it, our Bakuchiol prices have dropped dramatically, and it’s been flying out the door ever since. We’re so happy to make this powerful, popular active much more accessible for your formulations. 💛

A few quick answers to recent questions:
✔️ Is it old stock? Nope — this is a brand new batch at a lower, sustainable price point.
✔️ Expiry date? December 2027, so there’s plenty of time to use it.
✔️ Quality? Exactly the same as always, purity ≥98% (cosmetic grade).

Thanks to our new supplier, the lower price is here to stay! But this batch is moving fast, so grab yours while stock lasts!

Meet our NZ hydrosols, and why we now only stock local.

We recently made the call to stop importing hydrosols and now source exclusively from growers and distillers right here in Aotearoa New Zealand.

It means fresher product, less waste, a lower carbon footprint, and better traceability from plant to bottle. All of which matter to us (and we know matter to many of you too).

Yes, it meant letting go of a few long-time favourites from further afield, but we genuinely believe NZ hydrosols are world class, and we’re proud to support the people who make them.

Swipe through to see our current range of NZ grown hydrosols, all freshly distilled, all spray free and preservative free, all local.

Tallow is back in stock! 🎉

And to celebrate, we’re sharing a brand new cold-process soap recipe featuring this beautifully old-school ingredient.

Our Lavender & Tallow Soap blends cosmetic-grade tallow (refined right here in Aotearoa) with calming lavender essential oil to create a creamy, long-lasting bar with a soft floral scent and nourishing feel.

It’s firm, rich, and lathers like a dream. A traditional ingredient reimagined for modern natural soapmaking.

🌲 Douglas Fir Essential Oil

One of our most beautiful (and often overlooked) essential oils.

With crisp citrus top notes layered over a smooth, resinous base, this essential oil captures the scent of Aotearoa’s wild forests in every drop. Grown in FSC®-certified forests on the South Island, it’s harvested from regenerating hedge-rows – meaning the trees aren’t felled, just gently trimmed on a 5-year rotation so they keep growing strong 🌿

The foliage is distilled within four hours of harvest at a custom-built in-forest distillery, using renewable energy from biomass woodchip (the same by-product from harvesting!). Not only is the distillery self-powered – it even produces surplus energy for nearby businesses.

Distilled using pristine artesian water and low-temp steam, the result is a fresh, clear, and true-to-nature aroma that’s third-party tested and bottled pure.

✨ Beautiful in diffusers, balms, deodorants, DIY cleaners, seasonal blends & sauna rituals. It also makes a gorgeous middle note in natural perfumes - pairing effortlessly with citrus, spice & woods.

This oil has everything: story, sustainability & scent.

Every summer we get an influx of people asking us for DIY sunscreen recipes, which is totally understandable, you’re making all your other skincare, and you can see all the natural ingredients available, so why not sunscreen too?

Well there’s a reason we will never provide sunscreen recipes, and we wanted to provide a thorough explanation as to why.

Why You Shouldn’t Make Your Own DIY Sunscreen - Especially in Aotearoa New Zealand. Understanding UVA and UVB Rays. We get asked for DIY sunscreen recipes!
