AOTEA | 

Aotea was founded in 2017. We are inspired by mātauranga Māori (Māori knowledge) and this knowledge manifests itself in our range of therapeutic skincare. Aotea is the Māori name for Great Barrier Island, it is our namesake, and where we are from. It is here that we grow all the native flora that we use in our range, we extract the active compounds and use these healing extracts for the key tenants in our products.

We have a commitment to our values and culture. These are the pillars for our business. In light of which, we have elected, despite the difficulty to manufacture our entire range on our papakāinga (land). This allows us to create jobs in our community. Further, we are proud to say that it is our fourth year providing scholarships to our rangatahi Māori on Aotea to attend high schooling in Auckland, as there is no high school on Aotea.

This thinking pervades our direction and what we are as a business. Two things we are investing into significantly is the research and development attached to our products and flora, as well as having a completely circular economy where waste is designed out. We are building onto our existing solar farm so we the operation of our facilities are completely carbon neutral; and our product has a minimal carbon footprint.
