In 2018 Jacqueline Woods started making Kawakawa balm and oil at home for her personal use, soon she was providing products for her wider whanau. In 2018 Whakarato Clark joined the whanau with her knowledge of Mahi Rongoā that was taught in Primary School. The two quickly formed a strong bond. In post-Covid 2020 the hard-working entrepreneurial duo decided to go into business together – both are passionate about mahi-rongoa, tikanga, product purity, business and connecting with people.

The kawakawa, manuka and beeswax used in these products is hand-harvested from traditionally owned, pesticide-free lands. Tikanga is always observed.
