Antipodes

Antipodes is popular because it combines the purity of New Zealand’s natural environment with science-backed skincare. Founded and made in New Zealand, the brand uses sustainably sourced native botanicals like mānuka, harakeke and mamaku, grown in nutrient-rich volcanic soils. These natural ingredients are carefully formulated with advanced bioactives and validated through independent scientific testing and clinical trials. Known globally as a luxury natural skincare brand, Antipodes is trusted for its efficacy, ethical sourcing, and beautifully sensorial textures, all inspired by New Zealand nature.

Antipodes skincare products are proudly made in New Zealand, using locally sourced ingredients wherever possible. The brand draws on New Zealand nature for its formulations and works closely with local partners to support traceability and sustainability, including the use of recyclable glass jars, aluminium tubes, and cardboard packaging.

Antipodes’ natural-origin mineral SPF is manufactured in Australia to meet specific formulation and regulatory requirements.

Antipodes sources ingredients locally wherever possible, drawing on the purity of New Zealand nature. The brand partners closely with trusted New Zealand growers and producers who share a commitment to sustainability, many of whom have worked with Antipodes since its founding. These long-standing relationships allow Antipodes to achieve full traceability of ingredients, from forest to formulation.

Antipodes recommends applying skincare products in the following order for best results:

1. Cleanser – wash off according to instructions.
   
2. Face mask (optional) – suitable for day or night; rinse off as directed.
   
3. Toner – apply to cleansed skin, or throughout the day as needed.
   
4. Serum – layer light, water-based serums first, followed by heavier gels or oils.
   
5. Eye cream or eye gel
   
6. Moisturiser
   
7. SPF
   

Following this sequence helps Antipodes formulations perform at their optimal efficacy.

Antipodes formulates products around skin concerns rather than skin types. While skin type (normal, dry, oily, sensitive, combination) is largely genetic and consistent throughout life, skin concerns such as fine lines, dullness, dehydration, acne, or rosacea can affect anyone and may change over time.

Antipodes skincare is generally suitable for all skin types, allowing users to select products that target their current skin concerns.
