"In my studio I prefer the more considered steps of small production beauty. For example, the unique phyto-concentrate featured in my products has been grown and harvested then infused especially for my collection in Little River, South Island. This signature blend of Kawakawa, Calendula, Dandelion Leaf and Rosehip has been chosen by me for this range because of their complementary properties."

Autumn Approach

With the warmer days behind us, it’s time to focus on rejuvenating and restoring the skin in preparation for cooler temperatures.

As humidity levels drop, so do moisture levels in the skin, which means additional hydration is essential for skin health. Opt for ingredients packed with essential fatty acids and active hydrators to attract and retain moisture in the skin.

1 — REINTRODUCE OILS

Now is the perfect time to reintroduce your favourite face oil into your skincare routine.

Botanical oils help to restore the skin's natural barrier, preventing moisture loss and protecting against environmental stressors.Our Bio-Nutrient Face Oil is conditioning, lightweight and penetrates the skin deeply. Supercharged with phyto-rich Bioactive Green Tea extract, it utilises high-performing biomolecules to infuse the skin with nutrients.

2 — PREP + PRIME

Apply our powerhouse duo of the Enzyme Refine Cleansing Balm and the Manuka Leaf Exfoliant for the ultimate smoothing and clarifying treatment.

Mineral-rich and detoxifying, Manuka Leaf, New Zealand Glacial Clay and brightening Licorice Root work synergistically with the enzymatic cleanser to slough away dead skin cells. For best results, mix together and massage into skin. Leave as a mask for a minute or two, then rinse. Your skin is left primed and prepped for your moisturising rituals to follow.

3 — COLOUR & NUTRIENTS COMBINED

Our Mineral Tints — Dahlia, Apricots and Hyacinth — are a sheer, buildable colour cream for eyes, lips and cheeks.

Consider them as an extension of your skincare regime while adding gentle colour and luminosity to the complexion. The formulations are enhanced with our Signature phyto-concentrate of Dandelion Leaf, Rosehip, Kawakawa and Calendula to provide to extra vitamins, omegas and antioxidants.

"To keep things simple, my approach is pared back and minimal, but consistent. I try to notice the changes in my skin and adjust my products to suit."
