Is buying KIWI important to you?

What comes to mind when we showcase a product from an NZ brand?  What have we come to expect from a Kiwi skin care or cosmetic company?

Kiwi beauty brands feed into the belief (and thriving sector of the industry) that natural is best for our bodies.  And it seems that by starting from this beautiful landscape a brand is on the right path - all they need to do is to continue to be guided by the land around them.  Any great product starts with great ingredients.  Ingredients that have been used for centuries before being overlooked for fancy packaging, glossy advertising and long ingredient list. 

Sustainably grown local ingredients.  Recyclable packaging that won't harm the land that has gifted us with the power of these ingredients. Giving back to the local communities that support the brand and help them grow.  Combine these factors with good ole Kiwi ingenuity and it's no surprise that Kiwi Beauty Brands are a force to be reckoned with.

Just look at Kiwi brand Wild Ferns.  Their motto is Committed to New Zealand, Committed to you.  Wild Ferns' philosophy is to ensure the most important ingredients and components come from natural, ethical, and sustainable sources; retaining and protecting the clean, green beauty that is New Zealand.

All Wild Fern products are 100% New Zealand Made, not tested on animals, environmentally friendly packaged, Sodium Lauryl Sulphate free, Paraben Free and Mineral Oil free.

We're going to be sending out twenty Wild Ferns Autumn Glow sets for review.  

Each set contains:

  • Replenishing Day Creme - A beautiful crème containing premium certified Manuka Honey 80+ for daily hydration and nourishment. A potent blend of essential fatty acid rich oils of Evening Primrose, Avocado, Olive and Raspberry Seed provide instant hydration and softness, while Chamomile helps calm and soothe irritated skin for a healthier, more radiant complexion. 
  • Ultra Enriching Night Creme - This night crème contains premium certified Manuka Honey 80+ with carefully selected ingredients that nourish and replenish the skin while you sleep. Powerful antioxidant Co Enzyme Q10 combines with moisturising Apricot Kernel and Jojoba Oils to help your skin retain moisture, smooth dry lines and preserve elasticity. Vitamin A and Buttermilk help promote cell renewal. 
  • Intensive Refining Eye Creme - This intensive eye crème containing premium certified Manuka Honey 80+ has been specially formulated to be used around the eye area to hydrate, brighten and soothe the skin. Rosehip, Borage, Wheatgerm and Hazelnut oils will soothe and soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while vitamins A, C and E provide high antioxidants which will help to stimulate collagen production.
  • Radiance Renewal Facial Serum - A lightweight serum designed to penetrate the skin and deliver many skin loving ingredients. Premium certified Manuka Honey 80+ and powerful antioxidant Vitamins A, C and E combine with a potent blend of Sweet Almond, Rosehip and Evening Primrose oils to moisturise, nourish and help protect skin from future damage. Royal Jelly and Bee Pollen regenerate and rejuvenate the complexion for a radiant, healthy glow.

All Manuka Honey used in Wild Fern products is guaranteed to contain at least 80% Manuka Pollen – ensuring a skin care experience like no other.  The products feature formulas containing more ingredients from nature and a more natural preservative system. 

So how about you?  Are you in love with NZ beauty brands?  Is it important to you to support your local brands?  When looking for a new product do you opt to try Kiwi first?  Have you tried any Wild Ferns products before?

Hi BR I do believe in supporting Kiwi Suppliers & Brands. It is important that we support our own backyard for our economy & to have our brands globally recognised etc. I love a number of NZ Beauty Brands...Up and coming "Hannah's Bumble Balm" is one of my favourites...I've never tried Wild Ferns but would certainly love too :)

I love kiwi brands when it comes to beauty anything. I do try buy kiwi but have found they can be quite expensive because they are often organic. I have tried a fair few kiwi brand skin care ranges and have liked them at first but then they fall short. I would love to be proven wrong and find a kiwi brand that I love and can buy locally without the added on $$ for name alone. I would love to try this range please.

18th April, 2017

Thinking about kiwi products always make me go for home grown organic products which I will always recommend and use myself. At least I would know what ingredients are used to make the natural product. above all supporting our own products than the foreign one is always better. I am currently using 'by nature' products and they are very nice and would definitely like to use another Kiwi product.

I do like using NZ brands, but sometimes it's easier to find products you like from international companies. I would love to support kiwi companies more. These Wild Ferns products sound like the exact skin care regime I have been looking for. I have been looking for a new facial range that I like, but haven't managed to find one. Would love to give these a go.

I don't always by NZ made as there's some items you simply cannot get that are kiwi made but if I'm able to, I will. Love supporting our country where I can.

17th April, 2017

I think it is important to back new Zealand operated brands. Would love to give this a go

Buying kiwi is important to me But only if the product delivers on what it promises

16th April, 2017

I prefer to buy kiwi made as much as I can...although sometimes price does dictate. I always trust NZ products over other brands, especially if they are well known and known to be not tested on animals! I would love to trial this range! I have heard of it bit never tried!

16th April, 2017

I try to buy NZ made when possible but as we know this cannot always be the case. I like NZ made because I assume it is higher quality; not tested on animals, organic, high quality ingredients. I know this is just an assumption but that is what NZ brands represent in my mind.

16th April, 2017

I don't mind buying NZ made products. Most of the ones I have tried have actually been quite good. I sometimes find the price is a little high though which sometimes puts me off trying things. The eye cream and serum sound awesome! Would love to try these especially but also the whole range.

16th April, 2017

I have never tried Wild Fern products before. For someone my age, I would love to try skin products that will help reducing lines and promoting skin renewal. I think it is important for us to support New Zealand products. I would love to try this and recommend to my friends and family.

15th April, 2017

I'm allergic to bee products so can't try this. Honestly I want a product that works, nothing else matters lol

15th April, 2017

When you buy local / kiwi you are showing a massive amount of respect to kiwi owned and operated businesses to. I'm all for supporting kiwi and i mix between others as I use what works for me- in saying that if I find kiwi made I use kiwi made

15th April, 2017

I love buying nz products whenever I can. I'd much rather support local businesses than huge international ones that everybody already knows about. I always think high quality when I think NZ products and I think that's part of the reason why I'm drawn to them. I've never tried wild fern but I would love to!

15th April, 2017

Makes sense to me to support local industry. Not only does it create local jobs but its less transport from factory to me which is kinder on the environment and the wallet
