Why we love Natural, ethical, low waste New Zealand Brands

We are on a mission to bring you as many lovely ethical natural brands as we can to give you alternative options for beauty care, personal care and waste free living.

We stock with some of the world’s most legendary groundbreaking brands that have been leading the way for decades, and we applaud them! But we have to admit to an extra frisson of excitement when we find a glorious new product – and it’s made right here in Aotearoa.

There are so many good reasons to support local brands – never mind that we’re super patriotic as well!

  • Locally made means lower carbon miles, which is better for the earth.
  • NZ made means jobs for Kiwis, and warm healthy families.
  • Kiwi made means innovation and sustainable enterprise are encouraged and become more common in New Zealand.
  • New Zealand brands also often use our wonderful native plants for their healing and restorative properties – nice work Frankie Apothecary, Tahi Oils, Love Skin, Bonk Lube, etc.
  • NZ made eco-cleaning brands mean less toxins in our waterways – let’s hear it for Santosa, The Green Collective and more!
  • Waste Free, re-usable, or glass packaged products made in NZ mean less plastics in the world and in our oceans – thank you Eco Saint, Ethique, Fair & Square Soapery, Tailor Skincare, Neat Perfumes, Black Robin, Lily Bee Wrap, Oi Cup, Hello Cup, Dark Heart Beard Co, RuaKids, Qbaby and oh so many of our Kiwi Brands!

We love to hear of natural New Zealand made brands that you really love and that work well. Comment below with your favourites and if we don’t stock them already, we’ll have a look at getting them in for you!
