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?

Supporting brands right here at home is so important, and each year I'm seeing NZers coming up with better and more innovative natural products. "Committed to New Zealand, Committed to you" is such a great motto! And I would love to find out whether their products show it. I haven't tried Wild Fern before but am a big believer in natural products and especially in the value of manuka honey. Such an exciting opportunity. Also haven't tried eye creams or facial serums before, so it would be amazing to see a change!

Kiwi to me is organic and good for you. These sound great. I do try to support local businesses but haven't tried an organic skin care range in forever!

5th April, 2017

I'm all about supporting local brands and I love the name Wild Ferns. I've seen their products around, but haven't tried any yet. Paraben free, mineral oil free and sls free are always something I look out for. If these products are suitable for oily skin, then I'd be very keen to give them a try!

5th April, 2017

I love buying NZ only, it supports our own economy. The products I choose are more natural using local products not available elsewhere. I have bought Wild Ferns for gifts for friends and family living overseas but haven't tried it myself.

I've only ever sampled this brand at the airport when browsing the shops. It smells good!

Kiwi brands really are supreme in the skin care sector in my opinion. They are above and beyond expectations & really see it being a great export industry. I'll for sure be on the look out for Wild Fern's, kiwi a real draw card for me but also using Manuka Honey which we are supreme at too :) What a great range to trial, I'm in!

Wild ferns is an amazing brand. I have tried the serum and night cream and they are soooooo great for dry skin. This looks like such a sweet trial. I find they are priced really well too and being made in NZ is fantastic.

I would love to try this range. I am a big fan of NZ beauty products and these sound lovely! All of those oils sound perfect for my combination skin that suffers from dry patches!

It used to be important to me until I discovered that natural isn't always better. There are some great synthetic ingredients that act as cell communicators that are far more effective than natural will ever be and I wish more NZ companies would use them.

Oh I've seen Wild Ferns before. I am curious of about what their products are like. Love supporting kiwi brands. I'm quite proud of how far we have come in the Beauty Industry.

I believe NZ has so many natural products that are good for us and by supporting NZ made we are helping our own country economically and also encouraging more innovation and recognition. Wild Ferns sounds really good and I have not heard about them before and would love to test.

Buying Kiwi is important to me. I love supporting our kaupapa, our industries and our workers. I have not tried this brand before but my skin does like honey. I've used a couple of face creams with it as an ingredient before.

I haven't tried Wild Ferns yet. Interestingly the first time I saw NZ beauty products was when relatives came visiting us in Asia and they brought a giftset with three Wild Fern soaps, I remember the kiwi fruit soap looked pretty, and some bottles of lanolin and manuka honey body lotion. Don't know if they still have those in their current product range. I think I we owed my grandmother a gift so the soaps went to her and then the body lotions I don't remember if it was my sister who hid them and used them up. I absolutely love NZ brands. Most of my skincare, bodycare and haircare was NZ brands for years. It actually wasn't until about three or so years back around when I discovered Beauty Review that I did my first overseas beauty purchase because I bought almost everything NZ made or at the supermarkets. I definitely prefer to support Kiwi businesses instead of overseas brands, added reasons for buying local is cheaper shipping costs, fresher products since a lot of small kiwi brands do smaller batches and if the product can be found a store I get to try it out. Plus I love natural beauty products and NZ brands focus on natural ingredients. I'd love to try out this. Plus I do like that Manuka honey is so versatile for a variety of skin types.

I've heard good things about Wild Fern. I've seen it a lot but never tried but would like too. I think it is very important to support a brand from your own country. You're supporting New Zealand business and people. I believe New Zealand has great, unique beauty products and most of them smell natural, almost like homemade remedies. How can you not love that.

4th April, 2017

When I think kiwi brands, I think quality, organic, natural, not tested on animals. I have previously heard of or tried Wild Ferns but would love to try this range.
