# Waiawa Botanicals

> Waiawa Botanicals is a whānau-centred business based in Aotearoa New Zealand, making 100% natural, handcrafted skincare and wellbeing products rooted in rongoā Māori (traditional Māori healing knowledge). Ingredients are sustainably hand-sourced or gathered from local suppliers on the whenua (land), with no chemicals used in any product.

Waiawa derives its name from the whenua and awa (river) that sustains the whānau behind the brand. Key native ingredients include kawakawa (Macropiper excelsum), tātarāmoa (Rubus cissoides / bush lawyer), and kūmarahou. The brand also runs guided rongoā Māori tours through Pūkaha forest and hands-on native plant workshops.
