Our Skincare Range

Why Choose Our Rongoā Products?

Simple. Intentional. Rooted in Nature.

At Te Whare O Kawakawa Spā, we believe that nature already provides many of the gifts needed to support healthy skin and overall wellbeing. Rather than relying on unnecessary ingredients, we embrace the philosophy that less is more, carefully selecting each botanical for its purpose and creating formulations that are gentle, effective, and true to the principles of Rongoā Māori.

Every product begins with intention.

From the moment a plant is respectfully harvested through to the final preparation, each creation is guided by mātauranga Māori, tikanga, intuition, and a deep understanding of the healing properties held within our native flora. Every formulation has its own story, purpose, and reason for being.

Our products were also born from personal experience. As someone living with hypersensitive skin, our founder, Justine Rangihaeata, set out to create natural solutions that she could confidently use herself. This commitment to simplicity and quality continues to shape every product we make today.

More Than Skincare

Our Rongoā products are designed to support more than the surface of the skin. They reflect a holistic approach to wellbeing that recognises the interconnectedness of tinana, hinengaro, wairua, whānau, and whenua.

We intentionally avoid unnecessary synthetic ingredients, artificial fragrances, and harsh additives wherever possible, allowing the natural qualities of our carefully selected botanicals to shine.

Respecting Te Taiao

Everything we create begins with gratitude for the whenua.

We are committed to harvesting responsibly, preparing our products with care, and operating in ways that honour both the environment and the traditions of Rongoā Māori. Sustainability is not simply part of our process, it is part of our responsibility to future generations.

Supporting Your Hauora Journey

Whether you are seeking natural support for your skin, looking to complement your wellbeing routine, or wanting to reconnect with the healing gifts of te taiao, our products are created to walk alongside you.

Every jar, bottle, and balm is handcrafted with aroha, guided by tikanga, and prepared with the intention of supporting your hauora.

From the Whenua to Your Skin.
