Our STORY

Yep that’s right, our day and night creams are so natural you could eat ‘em. Although we wouldn’t recommend it - because we ate a pot ourselves to make sure and it did give us a bit of a sore tum lol 🌿🍶 #aoteamade
This is our vitality tonic. A kawakawa and ashwaganda herbal infusion. And then to take it further in every bottle we add 750 milligrams of water soluble Ginseng and Ginkgo extract as well as 300 milligrams of vitamin D3. These constituents are all recognised to aid the nervous system, thyroid and adrenal glands through their ability to produce a beneficial hormonal response to stress. These doses over a period of time have been found to decrease cortisol, and return the body to homeostasis which means that it heals itself, again through the appropriate hormonal responses to stress, both acute and general. We’re just chuffed we can not only bring you a drink we fervently believe in, but one with a NZ twist with the inclusion of kawakawa - a herb also prescribed by naturopaths to help the nervous system and stress. Tastes pretty good we think too 🌿🍶 #chuurrp #aoteamade #hand
Good day for it. Got a pot of kūmarahou simmering on the woodstove. Kūmarahou has a super high saponin content and it is this plant agent that would create a traditional expectorant that was used to help clear the lungs and aid the respiratory system. This agent is also found in both Siberian and Asian ginseng and makes for the perfect tonic when you’re sick. And it is this native herb that’s the key tenant in your immunity tonic. We’re absolutely chuffed to be bringing this to ya 🍶🌿 #aoteamade
We make things using the native flora of Aotearoa. Kia ora 🌿🍶 #aoteamade
Almost time ta clock off. Aotea looking like she’s a tropical island 🏝 #aoteamade
This is what goes into a bottle of your Aotea Immunity Tonic. A kūmarahou herbal infusion (which was traditionally used to remedy coughs), we then add citrus, ginger and turmeric. And then about a tsp of apple cider vinegar and mānuka honey to finish. Oowh yeeeaaaah 🌿🍶 #aoteamade
She just keeps on giving. Stay a bit longer, raumati. #aoteamade
To practice Ahi Kā. Putting up a shed up that will be used to infuse kawakawa, mānuka and kūmarahou leaves as well as press harakeke seeds. It’s in the bush, across our papakāinga and looks onto whangapoua. Don’t know many places we’d rather be. #aoteamade
Te papakāinga. A little runner, on a beautiful day, at home.
Our super active (300+mgo) mānuka honey. Raw, unheated and unprocessed, so the anti-microbial activity isn’t destroyed, and pulled from our own hives on Aotea. #whānau #aoteamade
Checking on the girls in the garden. We keep our own beehives on Aotea - and this is where we get your honey from. Aotea is covered in mānuka trees which makes our honey super active. We pull the honey from our hives by hand and we don’t heat or process it, which means that its anti-microbial content isn’t destroyed. We never take too much and always make sure our bees have enough honey for themselves. #chuurr #gals #aoteamade
Our mānuka honey day cream. Nourishing, all natural and light. The mānuka honey we use is super super active (800+mgo) and it comes from our hives on Aotea. Active mānuka honey holds moisture from the air to leave your skin feeling fresh throughout the day. It’s also known to promote skin regeneration. Aaaand she’s in our skincare pack which is on spesh for Valentine’s Day. #linkinbio #yew #chuurrp #aoteamade
Our natural skincare range lined up for ya. Made using flora native to Aotearoa that is incredibly restorative to the skin like harakeke seed oil, mānuka honey and kawakawa infused oils. We also use other super nourishing ingredients like shea butter, vitamin e oil and provitamin B5. We’ve received some amazing feedback on these guys and if you’re into the valentine thing, she’ll make a great gift - we’re running a special through our online store, link in bio 🌿🌱🍶 #aoteamade #chuurrp
Our immunity tonic nestled into the ingredients that we use to make her. A water infusion of native kūmarahou leaves brewed with ginger and turmeric. A couple teaspoons of apple cider vinegar as well as a drop of our mānuka honey, and a twist of citrus to finish. Super clean, super healthy and tasty. We hope you enjoy 🌿🍶 #aoteamade #churrrp
