Because great skin starts with real ingredients — and a reason to believe.
Where It All Began
Hark & Zander was born from both curiosity and frustration. Our founder Kirsty — a registered nurse — struggled to find skincare that truly helped her sensitive skin. Even top-rated products were packed with synthetics, and her skin knew it.
As a healthcare professional, she understood a simple truth: what you put on your skin matters. So she set out to create something better — skincare that delivers results, without compromise.
The Discovery That Changed Everything
Kirsty’s journey led her to kōaka — a calming, skin-nourishing botanical grown in New Zealand.
What began as a personal remedy soon evolved into Sativelle3™: our exclusive, triple-action complex, cold-pressed from the heart of the kōaka seed using a clean, sustainable method that preserves purity and potency.
Rich in essential fatty acids, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory compounds, Sativelle3™ deeply hydrates, strengthens the skin barrier, and restores visible balance — even for sensitive, reactive skin.
It’s more than a hero ingredient. It’s the foundation of everything we make.
Why It Works
We believe natural skincare should do more than just “be gentle.” It should perform.
That’s why we blend New Zealand-grown botanicals like kōaka with nature-identical actives to create high-performance formulas that actually make a difference — improving texture, boosting radiance, and calming irritation.
You’ll feel the difference. Others will see it.

From Soil to Skin
Kirsty became New Zealand’s first licensed kōaka grower in vineyards — and continues to lead research into how this powerful plant supports not just skin, but also soil health, biodiversity, and regenerative ecosystems.
Because great skincare shouldn’t just protect your skin. It should protect your world.
A Brand Grows from a Glow
As Kirsty began sharing her face oil infused with Sativelle3™, the results were undeniable. Skin glowed. Word spread. Orders came.
What started as a passion project became a globally recognised brand, with over 25 international awards and a loyal, growing customer base.
