INSTANTLY CAN FEEL THE DIFFERENCE
This moisturizer is great! You can feel the difference as soon as you put it on. Your skin instantly feels hydrated and it doesn’t leave that heavy or greasy feeling on it after. - Andrew Cho
SOOTHING MOISTURE
I’ve been using the Manuka Moisturiser during these cold winter days, and it’s been amazing! It feels rich and nourishing, but not greasy at all. My skin stays soft, hydrated, and calm throughout the day. Love how it makes my skin and senses feel cared for. - Willa
PERFECT MOISTURIZER
This moisturizer is simply perfect. It hydrates without leaving the skin oily, and doesn’t dry out. A little goes a long way so the container will last you a while.
ECZEMA SUPPORT
I have been looking for a very long time to find a kind and ethical moisturizer to support my eczema. The doctors always prescribed me steroid creams that thin my skin. After using MN8, my eczema has reduced and is way more manageable. I wished that I had found MN8 sooner, however now you have a loyal customer. - Pippa
HELPS WITH DRY EYES
I work outside and tend to get very dry eyes, I find using this product very helpful. - Michael
HOW IT WORKS
Neossance Squalane delivers lightweight hydration that mimics skin's natural oils. Mamaku (Tree fern) Extract fortifies the skin barrier while locking in essential moisture. Mānuka Gold Extract™, Kawakawa Extract and Bioactive Totarol work together in synergy to boost collagen, soothe sensitivity and restore balance for soft, nourished skin.
SENSORY
A light, whipped creme texture leaves skin soft and dewy with a subtle earthy green scent

KEY ACTIVES
FULL-SPECTRUM MANUKA GOLD EXTRACT™
Regeneratively grown, harvested and extracted at our Waipū farm project, this extract is anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory, protects and repairs UV damage, promotes collagen production for anti-aging effects, balances the skin's microbiome and locks in moisture.
KAWAKAWA EXTRACT
Derived from a native New Zealand plant, It's known for its anti-inflammatory properties. It soothes irritated and sensitive skin, reduces redness, and helps restore moisture balance.
NEOSSANCE® SQUALANE
Mimics your natural skin moisture barrier and provides superior hydration and anti-aging benefits. Plus, unlike traditional Squalane (extracted from shark liver), ours is a more sustainable solution.
BIOACTIVE TOTAROL
A natural extract from the New Zealand Totara tree, offering strong antioxidant and antimicrobial benefits. It protects against environmental damage, targets acne-causing bacteria, reduces inflammation, and helps prevent premature aging while promoting skin healing.
MAMAKU (TREE FERN) EXTRACT
This unique fern extract hydrates deeply thanks to its stringy gel-forming properties, mimicking the skin’s natural moisture barrier for long-lasting comfort and a healthy glow.

Really enjoying this moisturiser. It’s got a great texture, not too thick and it is so soft on application. I have rosacea and this moisturiser is very kind and calming and does not aggravate my symptoms when they appear. My skin feels soft and hydrated after use. I’m on my second jar

Impressive. This is very soothing and long

Two weeks in, I love the moisturiser it’s light but hydrating and I don’t have that tight feeling any more. I have sensitive rosacea skin so I think this is good for it. Saving up to buy the serum next!

Smells divine, such a treat to put on. Highly recommend.

Just like the serum, this moisturiser is an integral part of my relaxation routine! It makes me feel relaxed and calm whenever I use it. It’s hydrating and not too thick, not too thin. I live in the South Island which is really dry and I keep coming back to buy this moisturiser as I would miss it if i didn’t have it! I love the smell too

A
I've tried many moisturisers, and the one thing I always hate is the 'cream smell' and the greasiness.
Your moisturiser has none of that. The smell is not what I was expecting - Think standing in a field in summer - very natural and fresh. And it feels amazing on my skin, 20 seconds later I forget I have anything on but my skin stays smooth and matte all day.
10/10 love this product.
W
I’ve been using the Manuka Moisturiser during these cold winter days, and it’s been amazing! It feels rich and nourishing, but not greasy at all. My skin stays soft, hydrated, and calm throughout the day. Love how it makes my skin and senses feel cared for.

This cream is so good.

Still trying it out but so far there’s been no reaction to my sensitive skin.
FAQ'S
Is this suitable for sensitive skin?
Absolutely. MN8 is 100% natural with no synthetic fragrances, parabens, or harsh chemicals — ingredients that are common triggers for sensitive skin. Mānuka's natural anti-inflammatory properties actually help calm reactive skin over time, making it a great choice for anyone who's struggled to find products that agree with them.
How long will the bundle last?
With daily use, each full-size product lasts approximately 45 days.
Is MN8 Skincare natural?
Yes — all of our formulations are 100% natural. That means no synthetic fragrances, no harsh chemicals, and no GMO ingredients. Ever.
Mānuka Honey x Mānuka Oil x Mānuka Extract?
They come from the same plant, but they’re not created equal.
• Mānuka Honey is made from the flower’s nectar. It’s antibacterial and soothing but low in actives once diluted in skincare.
• Mānuka Oil is steam-distilled from the leaves. It contains a good level of triketones — natural compounds up to 50x more antimicrobial than honey. Has a pungent scent which is why it hasn’t taken off in premium skincare.
• Mānuka Extract (like our MN8 Gold Extract™) is CO₂-extracted at low temperatures to retain the full spectrum of skin-active compounds — exceptionally high in triketones, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatories and over 100x more antimicrobial than honey— in a highly bioavailable form. It’s the most potent and complete option for skin regeneration and due to the delicate scent molecules remaining in tact the scent is pleasant: green, fresh and grounding.
In short:
Honey soothes.
Oil purifies.
Extract soothes, purifies, repairs and protects.
What is Full-Spectrum Mānuka Extract?
It’s the most potent, complete form of Mānuka.
Our CO₂ extraction captures the full spectrum of skin actives and a wider range of triketones meaning more antioxidants, and anti-inflammatories.
It’s done at low temperatures, which preserves sensitive compounds and results in a scent that’s more pleasant and grounding than an essential oil.With 38%+ triketones, our MN8 Gold Extract™ is one of the strongest natural skin regenerators on the planet.What does that mean for your skin?Cellular repair. Boosted collagen. Balanced skin biome. Strengthened barrier. Calmed inflammation. Wrinkle defense via antioxidants. UV-B protection and reduction of UV-induced collagen degradation.
