about us

We started out with a rundown dairy farm and a vision – To create something we could rest our hats on. Something that would have a positive impact on our environment, our community, our family and our planet. We transformed that dairy farm into a regenerative manuka farm and figured out how to extract the most potent, healing and sustainable form of Manuka along the way. Manuka gold extract. But the extraction process was technical and intensive and wholesale wasn’t a viable option so we decided to bring it straight to the people. Thus MN8 was born. Crafted skincare straight from our farm to your skin. Empowering people to embrace their natural uniqueness and live with confidence.

OUR PURPOSE

We craft effective skincare solutions that empower people to embrace their uniqueness and live with confidence. MN8 exists to create a healthier planet, a healthier population, and a healthier sense of self.

OUR BELIEF

We stand as a reminder that we are naturally beautiful. That we don’t need to aggrandise ourselves to feel confident in who we are. MN8 exists to create a healthier planet, a healthier population, and a healthier sense of self.

OUR INGREDIENTS

We grow and produce high-end extracts from NZ botanicals and incorporate them in our natural skincare range. Packed with antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, we use sustainable practices to promote healthy, glowing skin, while reducing our carbon footprint.

OUR STORY

SOWING SEEDS

SEPTEMBER 2020

In 2020, we sowed the first seeds in the ground, kicking off a mini-revolution to convert dairy farms into Manuka farms. This was our first step to promote a greener and more eco-friendly environment.

FIRST HARVEST

MAY 2022

Two years of hard work in the fields, nurturing and caring for the plants was worth the wait. In May of 2022, we saw the first results. The next step was to find a way to extract high-quality Mānuka oil. It was almost nine months before that vision came alive.

FIRST EXTRACTION RESULTS

FEBRUARY 2023

We received our first shipment of cutting-edge CO2 extraction machine from Europe in late February. Less than a week later, our first CO2 extraction resulted in an unprecedented 38% triketone levels. Almost double the levels in the market. This got our wheels turning and we started our research process.

PRODUCTION BEGINS

SEPTEMBER 2023

After seven months of research and development, we began producing the first batch of top-of-the-market Manuka oils and extracts to use in our skincare products. Combined with other premium ingredients, our skincare formula proved to be potent solution to revitalise the skin and help you stay unique in every way.
