We have the following products available:
Manaaki Oil/Aroha Oil: A rich, replenishing oil designed to deeply hydrate, support skin repair, and enhance softness across the body while promoting relaxation and comfort. Apply 1–2 pumps to skin, hair, or bath. Massage into the body or add to warm water. This formula helps support the skin’s natural barrier while leaving behind a healthy, satin-like finish. Use it after a shower or whenever your skin needs a boost of hydration. It glides on easily and feels light enough for regular use, so you can enjoy lasting comfort without a heavy or greasy feel.

Whakaora Beard and Hair serum: Revive Me Hair & Beard Serum is a lightweight hair serum designed to support healthier-looking hair and a well-groomed beard. It helps condition dry strands, soften coarse facial hair, and improve the overall feel of both hair and beard with regular use. The formula absorbs quickly, so it does not leave behind a heavy or greasy finish. This makes it a practical part of a daily grooming routine. Whether your goal is smoother hair, a softer beard, or a more polished appearance, this serum offers targeted care in one simple product.

"Kia ora, I'm Grace, the founder and creator of Āe Botanicals. I'm a Māori woman of Tainui (Waikato) descent, raised in Hamilton and have been fortunate to live throughout New Zealand and Australia, experiences that have shaped both my personal journey and the way I see wellbeing.
Today, I call beautiful Northland home. Living amongst nature inspires much of what we create at Āe Botanicals and reinforces my belief that skincare should be simple, effective and thoughtfully made. Above all, I'm passionate about helping people feel confident in their own skin through products that are carefully crafted in New Zealand using high-quality botanicals and scientifically researched ingredients."
