Hoheria
Hoheria shrubs grow across the North Island of New Zealand, bearing large quantities of fragrant white flowers. This beautiful native plant has many medicinal properties, and is often referred to as a ‘herbal antacid’ for its ability to ease inflammatory conditions.
Hoheria was also used traditionally to soften and hydrate skin. We’ve experimented extensively with this plant over the years and love the soothing qualities it brings to our formulations (particularly the ‘Repair’ range).
Pōhutukawa
Pohutukawa trees are abundant in many coastal areas - you’ll often find a swing attached to low-hanging branches overlooking a sparkling ocean.
Pohutukawa was used topically in traditional Maori herbal medicine for wounds and abrasions, as the bark contains a special acid known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It now plays a key role in many of our formulations for its ability to soothe dry, red, irritated skin.
