Stuff's Morgane Solignac uncovers the soothing side effects of kōakaseed oil in an interview with Kirsty about how she's taken the findings from kōakaseed crop trials in Marlborough and developed kōakaseed-based skincare... which we know and love as Hark & Zander SkinTonic Face Oil.
"Kirsty Harkness first discovered the benefits of kōaka as she was using it as cover-crop for the restoration of soil in vineyards. Impressed by the results after a year, she did more research on kōakaseed oils. She then took the plunge and launched her cosmetic brand, Hark & Zander."
And Solignac rightly points out that these little bottles of wonder-working power have been flying off the shelves thanks to some wonderful early adopters. It's as though we've tapped into a latent demand for all things natural, NZ made, and kōakaseed-based and it's all a little bit exciting!
