Luxurious natural skincare & haircare formulas
Antipodes utilises the most unique botanicals and innovative bioactive compounds to craft the very finest, natural skincare and haircare formulations.
Sustainably sourcing New Zealand’s ancient & unique species of nutrient-rich flora
New Zealand’s ancient volcanic landscapes and naturally acidic soils nurture one of the world’s most nutrient-rich ecosystems. From mamaku black fern and harakeke flax to mānuka and kawakawa, these native botanicals are prized for their restorative, skin- and hair-enhancing properties. Sustainably sourced and scientifically proven, they form the foundation of our luxurious natural skincare and haircare.
We achieve cutting-edge performance by combining pure botanicals & clinically proven bioactives.
We achieve cutting-edge performance by combining pure botanicals with clinically proven bioactives. Naturally rich in antimicrobial, antibacterial and antioxidant compounds, our botanicals help soothe skin & scalp and support cellular renewal. Through advanced extraction and formulation, we carefully isolate and balance these actives to create targeted skincare and haircare with proven, visible results.
OUR UNTOUCHED NATURAL ENVIRONMENT
New Zealand’s remote islands have evolved largely untouched for millions of years, giving rise to a remarkably rich natural environment. Home to an abundance of unique flora and fauna, this landscape is naturally rich in ingredients that enhance both skin and hair. Antipodes is based in Wellington, New Zealand, where lush forests, expansive oceans, and awe-inspiring mountains are just minutes away.
LOOKING DEEPER INTO NATURE
Our tireless pursuit of cutting-edge, natural-origin ingredients with scientifically proven efficacy sets us apart. We explore advanced areas of natural science – from probiotics, high-tech ferments and peptides to the richest natural forms of vitamin C – with a singular focus on creating luxurious, high-performance skincare and haircare.
WORKING WITH ETHICAL SUPPLIERS
Our sustainably sourced mānuka honey and unique Vinanza® grape seed extract are just two examples of how we support local growers committed to protecting New Zealand’s environment. As bee numbers continue to decline, ethical beekeepers like Sam and Vanessa of Grafter’s Honey rely on both understanding and long-term support. By working closely with local, responsible suppliers, we help regional ecosystems to flourish.

WE LISTEN TO YOUR FEEDBACK
Some of our most rewarding moments come from hearing how customers experience their skin and hair since discovering Antipodes. Thoughtful, curious and deeply engaged, our community continually shares insights that inspire us.

GLOBALLY ADORED
Antipodes is sold across four continents and more than 40 markets, and is recognised globally for its luxury natural skincare and haircare. While features in publications such as Vogue, Cosmopolitan, Marie Claire, Elle and Harper’s Bazaar are always an honour, nothing compares to the personal reviews and heartfelt messages we receive from our community around the world.
TAILORED TO YOUR SKIN & HAIR CONCERNS
Our high-performance natural formulations are designed to address individual skin and hair concerns – from fine lines, dehydration and dullness to scalp imbalance and hair vitality. Guided by the science of skin and scalp physiology, we create products that support, hydrate and calm.

Validating nature’s efficacy through a robust third-party scientific process
Our formulations are engineered from nature and undergo rigorous third-party testing for scientific validation. Our focus on in-vitro (laboratory) scientific investigations sets us apart from other global natural brands. This objective scientific process provides an accurate understanding of the potential effects of our formulations on human skin cells. With financial assistance from the New Zealand government, we have been able to verify our brand’s efficacy alongside global leaders who utilise only synthetic formulations.
IN-VITRO LABORATORY TESTING
Working with scientists at Trinity Bioactives, we examine how our finished formulations interact with human skin cells under controlled laboratory conditions. This testing allows us to measure key markers of skin performance, including collagen stimulation and protection against free radical damage. These independent results demonstrate the potency of our botanical and bioactive ingredients.
CLINICAL TRIALS
Our clinical trials are conducted in controlled clinical settings on volunteer human subjects to assess how products perform on real skin. These trials measure factors such as hydration, wrinkle depth, skin comfort and sensitivity, helping us understand how our formulations support healthy skin and scalp function in everyday use.
IN-VIVO TRIALS
In-vivo trials assess how products perform in real-world use, with participants using a formulation over several weeks. Our haircare trials included over 600 participants, delivering a depth of insight rarely seen in natural beauty. This large-scale testing helps us understand visible results and user experience. Every Antipodes product undergoes in-vivo evaluation as part of our development process.

New Zealand founded, owned, and made
I was searching for an outlier – natural skincare that could genuinely rival prestige brands, without compromise. Grounded in New Zealand botanicals and validated through independent testing, that search became Antipodes: a scientific green beauty brand now celebrated globally for luxurious, high-performance skincare and haircare.
