Since day one, we have set out to become the world’s most sustainable and efficacious natural skincare brand – and that means defining new benchmarks in beauty. Our products are made exclusively here in New Zealand, using locally sourced ingredients; they are independently certified by international organizations; and they are packaged in premium materials that are recyclable and biodegradable.

Of course, quality remains the pinnacle of achievement at Antipodes Skincare. We will never compromise the integrity of a formulation – but our innovative and thoughtful approach and drive to seek constant improvement, means we’ve never had to.

Sustainability is a journey that takes time, effort, and passion. We’re working on some exciting initiatives for 2023 and beyond, that will contribute to our ultimate goal: to be the world’s most sustainable, efficacious natural skincare brand. We have met the criteria for BCorp status and are now awaiting our final audit alongside our cruelty-free certification. We are excited to join these international organizations shortly.

Here's what we're working to achieve:

BCORP CERTIFIED

The highest industry benchmark identifying businesses with outstanding performance in five key areas: governance, workers’ rights, community, environment, and customers.

Current status: We’ve submitted our application to BCorp and are on our way to becoming certified.

LEAPING BUNNY CERTIFED

Our vegan and vegetarian status already verifies that our products are not tested on animals – but we’re chasing that bunny, too. Leaping Bunny will provide us, and you, with additional certainty that we are 100% cruelty free.

Current status: We’re working on it!

100% PLASTIC-FREE PACKAGING

That means zero plastic in our core natural skincare range. This is challenging, as some components do not yet have plastic-free alternatives. As new innovations come to market, we’re confident in a plastic-free future.

Current status: 86% plastic-free across the Antipodes skincare range.

100% KERBSIDE RECYCLABLE*

We want every component of our packaging to be able to be recycled through your local council programme. Every town, city, borough, suburb, and even street has different rules – so we’re going to start with Australia and New Zealand.

Current status: Our glass, aluminium, and paper materials can be recycled in most markets. We’re researching alternatives for componentry that can’t be recycled.

*In New Zealand.
