About Our Brands
Hippie Stick
Hippie Stick is all about peace, love and sustainability.
Located in Canterbury in New Zealand’s South Island, Hippie Stick was born from their family’s passion for the environment around us.
They had been producing natural cosmetics for a few years but the contribution to our world’s plastic problem put a damper on their pride. They knew they could do better for their fellow hippies.
That’s when they started working on giving back to the earth by creating a zero-waste system. Let’s face it. Compostable packaging is groovy but unless that packet hits the soil, it’s not working its magic. Embedding corn flower seeds into our tubes, they want you to discover how your contribution to the planet can literally bloom.
The world’s first plantable lipstick was born!
So, why corn flower? Flourishing in cheer and positivity with its vibrant blues and violets, corn flower is a valuable food source for our world’s bees. The heart of our environment’s ecosystem, Hippie Sticks bloom with corn flower to give back to the creatures that tirelessly serve us and need protecting more than ever.
With every swipe across your lips, your favourite Hippie Stick is creating a powerful difference to the world around you. Free from palm oil, always cruelty free and suitable for our vegan pals, Hippie Sticks are packed with lip-loving ingredients to nourish, protect and hydrate. Highly pigmented, how bright and bold you apply your lips is totally up to you!
Huia Hair Co
Huia Hair Co is owned and created by a Curly Haired Mama. A pakihi made by us for us.
In her own words:
"I had an idea and I'm giving my all for this kaupapa. From personal experience, I was asking myself why do I feel like I need to straighten my hair every week? It was from a lack of knowledge and lack of resources and tools on how to take better care of my curls.
So I wanted to create this pakihi to supply those tools and products for those who may also be starting their natural hair journey or for those who need some tools to maintain their beautiful makawe. Thats how Huia Hair was created.
Huia being my last name, I felt like it was a perfect representation of this pakihi. My whānau have diffrent shapes, sizes, hair types, personailities and laughs but they are a perfect embodiment of Aroha, love.
They embrace themselves naturally whether it be natural af in gumboots hair bun or when they want to wear makeup or hair styled. They stand in their truth. Same goes for te taha o tōku māmā which is my Rhind side. But this pakihi are for all the diffrent Wahine Māori in my whānau who have guided me, shown me, and supported me through this journey. This is for them."
indigo & iris
indigo & iris create beautiful beauty products and donate 50% of profits from their sales to different impact projects.
The global beauty industry is estimated to be worth over $400 billion USD annually - as consumer spending increases globally, the wealth divide of people who have financial means and those who do not, continues to widen.
indigo & iris thought, ‘what if a portion of profits generated the beauty industry was directed to helping people lead better lives’? Not just a marketing gimmick, but a genuine & tangible benefit to others.
50% of all levitate profits go to Fred Hollows Foundation NZ - An incredible organisation that works throughout the Pacific Islands providing healthcare to visually impaired Pacific Islanders. In the Pacific Islands, four out of five people who are blind don’t need to be and a sight-restoring surgery can cost as little as $25nzd.
indigo & iris donations have enabled over 400 life-changing surgeries to restore eyesight.
50% of all lipstick profits go to Dress For Success Christchurch - a global organisation which helps empower disadvantaged women to become financially & economically independent. Their aim is to provide appropriate clothing, a network of support and career development tools, so women can thrive in work and life.
A treat for yourself while helping others at the same time. Together, we really can make a difference.
