Aotea

Aotea Inspired by indigenous thinkers. Therapeutic skincare. Extracted, formulated, and bottled by hand on Aotea, Great Barrier Island.

At Aotea, we are committed to making high-quality therapeutic skincare products using New Zealand native flora that are all hand-made on Aotea, Great Barrier Island. We are inspired by mātauranga Māori (Māori knowledge) and this knowledge manifests itself in our range. Aotea is the Māori name for Great Barrier Island and it is here where we are from and where we grow the native flora we use (and extract their oils) and spin these into the products in our range. This is all done by our team on our papakāinga (land).

Our Story

We are inspired by Māori history and culture. We make a range of therapeutic goods that are steeped in rongoā Māori (māori remedial medicine). We use Kawakawa, Mānuka, Kūmarahou and Harakeke which all have a rich history of remedial use by Māori (and also our own community and family on Aotea). We grow these plants ourselves on our papakāinga, Aotea Great Barrier Island, and extract the the bioactive on site. We aim to create opportunity and employment for our community. We are undertaking research into the healing nature of the flora we use, particularly Kawakawa and Kūmarahou. We look forward to sharing this with you soon. Mauri ora.
