Tell us about how you’re making a difference in New Zealand’s East Cape?
Our customers are making a difference to the lives of people living in the remote East Cape of New Zealand. Every order helps to create jobs and enables sustainable planting and harvesting of more mānuka trees.
We are just loving the look of your rebrand. Tell us a bit more about your hero products.
Our best seller is the Pro-Aging Skin Oil. It combines antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and anti-ageing properties of East Cape mānuka oil with antioxidant and hydrating properties of rosehip oil. I use Pro-Aging Skin Oil every morning and night, before moisturising with Pro-Aging Day Cream and Night Cream. It feels amazing on my skin and I’ve seen a visible difference.

Anything else you would like to add?
Our Blemish Control Collection is worth trying. Mānuka oil is great for acne because it kills acne causing bacteria on the skin. It reduces skin inflammation, accelerates wound healing and reduces scarring by stimulating collagen production.
East Cape mānuka oil helps to create a beautifully clear complexion and works as a complete skincare treatment. Research has shown mānuka essential oil is around 30 times more powerful than tea tree oil in killing skin bacteria that cause acne and other infections.
