During my travels, I look forward to learning about native botanicals and discovering brands that incorporate these ingredients. I could spend hours browsing lotions and potions at local apothecaries, smelling and testing out their concoctions. I particularly appreciate when they utilize the bounties that their land provides, which in turn creates naturally nourishing products.

While in New Zealand, I witnessed the beauty benefits from kiwifruit, lanolin, kawakawa, and thermal mud, but my favorite find was manuka honey.
