Our History
New Zealand blends ancient traditions of love and respect of nature with the standards of a British Commonwealth nation. Our country so beautiful that enjoying nature is just part of life. For thousands of years people in the region have used what nature has to offer to protect the skin, fight common health problems, and promote general good wellbeing. This rich tradition, now enhanced by modern technology, lies beneath the products offered by Koru Naturals. We have always found that products from NZ offer better value and emphasize natural substances more than most products found in the U.S. For years now, we have brought selected active manuka honey, lanolin, tea tree, manuka oil, rosehip oil and Rotorua mud products to our adoptive land to use ourselves and to share with our American friends, who could not agree more with their value. In 2002 we opened this store to share with our clients the products we and our friends have used for years. Since then, we have developed an active and loyal customer base in the U.S., Canada, and several Asian and European countries. Please join us in the enjoyment of these excellent products and share your experiences with us.What is the Koru
Our symbol is the koru, the Maori name given
to the newborn, unfurling fern frond that symbolizes new life,
growth, strength and peace. It is an integral image in Maori
carving and tattoos and an iconic symbol of New Zealand flora.
No animal testing policy
Our suppliers are asked to certify that their products are never tested on animals. We love all animals, and we believe that cosmetics should only be tested on humans.
No advertising
A large portion of the price paid for cosmetic products (up to 80% in some cases!) goes to advertising. We simply don't see how this adds value, so we don't advertise, relying instead on word of mouth to grow.So far, it has worked beautifully,with consistent double-digit growth achieved every month. Please help us continue with this focus on value by mentioning Koru Naturals to people you know. Thank you.
