Our Commitment to Freshness

At Harpella, freshness isn't just a promise. It's the foundation of everything we create. We believe the most effective skincare comes from ingredients at their peak potency, which is why we've built our entire process around preserving the natural healing power of kawakawa and native botanicals.

Wild Harvested in Waikanae

We sustainably wild-harvest kawakawa from the lush native bush surrounding our home in Waikanae, New Zealand. Each leaf is hand-selected at the perfect time to ensure maximum therapeutic benefits. By harvesting locally and responsibly, we maintain the freshest possible ingredients while protecting the plants for future generations.

Small Batch Production

Every product is handcrafted in small batches, never mass-produced. This means your body butter, balm, or serum was made recently, not months ago in a warehouse. Small batches allow us to maintain strict quality control and ensure every jar contains the freshest, most potent ingredients.

Gentle Processing

We use gentle, low-heat methods to preserve the natural properties of kawakawa and other botanicals. Unlike industrial processing that can degrade active compounds, our careful approach maintains the plant's healing benefits from harvest to your hands.

Made to Order Philosophy

Many of our products are made to order or produced in limited runs. This means you're receiving skincare that's as fresh as possible, with ingredients at their most effective. We'd rather make smaller quantities more often than compromise on freshness.

What This Means for You

When you choose Harpella, you're getting products with maximum potency and effectiveness. Fresh ingredients mean better results for your skin, whether you're soothing inflammation, healing irritation, or simply nourishing your body naturally.

Our commitment to freshness is our commitment to you.
