ULTRA-CLEAN • NO ANIMAL TESTING • BIODEGRADABLE • RENEWABLE SOURCES
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 organisations; 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.
“My vision is a simple one. To use only the most nourishing bioactives, sourced from growers and producers who care as much about our environment as we do. We pay a premium to work with companies who are sustainability innovators, producing the world’s most nutrient-rich ingredients from cleaner standards of farming.”
ELIZABETH BARBALICH, ANTIPODES FOUNDER & CEO

Our sustainability metrics for ingredients are among the highest in the industry.
We examine our sustainable skincare ingredients from a holistic perspective, taking into account not just where the herb, fruit, plant, or element is sourced, but how it is grown and harvested – and by who. Approximately 32% of our facial skincare range uses a minimum of 70% organic skincare ingredients. These have been grown free from pesticides and chemicals, via toxin-free production methods that preserve the health of soil and the environment.
We’re proud that we can trace every one of our ingredients to its source. Now, we’re working on making this information transparent on our website. Watch this space.

Our sustainable suppliers have been with us since the beginning.
We believe in sourcing locally wherever possible; and with lush New Zealand as our backyard, that’s not a difficult task. Over 80% of our suppliers are based in New Zealand – some just mere hours away from Antipodes HQ – and have been a core part of our supplier network from the very start of the brand. This helps keep our supply chain as transparent and traceable as possible, so we can ensure our production processes and ingredient sourcing stand up to scrutiny, each step of the way.
We love supporting local and will actively seek a New Zealand supplier before looking internationally. Got a sustainable innovation you’d like to work with us on? Get in touch.
