Harakeke hydroethanolic extract, NZ

Harakeke, also known as New Zealand flax (Phormium tenax), is a native plant traditionally valued by Māori for its soothing and protective properties. Our hydroethanolic extract is made in Aotearoa New Zealand using a combination of water and ethanol to draw out a broader spectrum of the plant’s beneficial compounds, including antioxidants, flavonoids, and natural sugars.

In skincare, Harakeke extract is prized for its ability to support hydration, calm sensitive skin, and reinforce the skin’s natural barrier. It’s a versatile addition to creams, serums, gels, toners, and masks, especially those designed for dry, reactive, or environmentally stressed skin.

This extract is said to help retain moisture and provide a soft, refreshed feel, making it a beautiful ingredient in both restorative and everyday formulations.
