NELLIE TIER New Zealand
It’s so great to see all the fabulous New Zealand-made skincare products that embrace the safe and natural ethos that many of us want, especially if they really work. We’re loving NELLIE TIER New Zealand’s Face Oil, which, with all its beneficial vegetable and pure essential oils, has been created for mature skins.

The frankincense and rose gives this enriching oil a beautiful scent and, applied to your face and neck, nourishes the skin beautifully. Designed to replenish moisture, stimulate cell renewal, promote elasticity and assist the skin with its natural ability to heal, this oil ticks all the boxes for a mature skin.
Best friends, Ann Porter and Sara Said, initially set out to produce safe, effective and environmentally-friendly skincare products that they could use for themselves. The company now produces bath, body, scents, travel kits and even a special range for teenagers and they’ve expanded through into Japan. Their philosophy centres on the therapeutic properties of plants – seeds, nuts, herbs and flowers – and their ability to nourish, heal and protect the skin. Butters, botanical extracts, flower hydrosols, vitamins, antioxidants, Mānuka Honey and aloe vera, all give the range a fresh and luxurious texture.
You’ll find NELLIE TIER at all good department stores or hop online and buy direct.
