Verified Ingredients

Integrity begins at the source.

Every key ingredient in our Mānuka Skin Serum is carefully selected for quality, purity, and traceability.

One bottle = one native planted — restoring Aotearoa, one tree at a time.

Independently Analysed Mānuka Oil

Our Mānuka essential oil is independently analysed prior to formulation to verify authenticity and chemical profile.

The batch used in our serum was tested by Analytical Research Laboratory (ARL), Southern Cross University using GC-FID analysis.

This testing confirms botanical identity and active compound composition of the raw oil.

Why This Matters

Mānuka oil is valued for its naturally occurring β-triketones — bioactive compounds unique to certain New Zealand chemotypes.

Independent GC-FID testing confirms:

• Authentic Leptospermum scoparium origin

• Full terpene fingerprint profile

• No evidence of dilution or adulteration

• Consistent chemical markers in the analysed batch

We prioritise transparency so you know exactly what goes into your skin.

Our Approach

We formulate using independently verified raw ingredients to ensure quality begins at the source.

No exaggerated claims.

Just honest sourcing.

We choose transparency over marketing claims — because trust is earned.
