Ora inherits this Maori tradition, taking from and
respecting the Papatuanuku, or earth mother, that provides us here in New
Zealand with an abundance of natural resources. Long known to the Maori as a
potent healer with cooling and moisturising properties, Ora has naturally chosen to incorporate the
Mamaku into their skincare range. From their Mamaku Revival Gel that helps to restore
dry overexposed skin and can even be used on scars and burns, to their range of
shower and bath products to rejuvenate and nourish skin, Ora harnesses the
natural properties of Mamaku and other native New Zealand plants to nourish and
repair our skin. Plants such as the Kowhai and Kawakawa have long been used by
Maori and can be found in Ora’s products. It is fitting then, that
the young spiral fronds of the Mamaku tree fern became a national symbol (the
koru) for New Zealand. The koru fronds symbolise regeneration, new life and new
beginnings, the perfect ambassador for New Zealand and Ora’s skincare products.
