Our parent company New Zealand Mānuka Group is at the top of the Trees That Count leaderboard, thanks to its ongoing efforts to plant native trees.

The Eastern Bay of Plenty-based company is committed to protecting the environment. It has planted nearly nine million trees around the East Cape since 2016, with another 540,000 to come before Christmas. “Nurturing and sustaining the land is a huge part of the work the New Zealand Mānuka Group does,” says founder Phil Caskey. “From the land we use to the communities we work with and support, everything is done with care and thought to a long and sustainable future.

Found along the remote, arid coastlines of New Zealand, the Mānuka tree is home to a delicate little white flower. Thanks to the European honey bee, the Mānuka pollen is collected during the short 2-6 week flowering period, and from these flowers, Mānuka honey is born.

Honey, it’s time to stop battling with tired, damaged skin, and time to take a stand, and give your skin the ultimate natural weapon. Used in ancient rulers’ skincare routines, honey has been known throughout time as the one stop shop for radiant, glowing skin.

Who runs the world? Bees! We’re not even joking, our lives would be very different if it weren’t for our buzzy little friends.
