Meet our NZ hydrosols, and why we now only stock local.
We recently made the call to stop importing hydrosols and now source exclusively from growers and distillers right here in Aotearoa New Zealand.
It means fresher product, less waste, a lower carbon footprint, and better traceability from plant to bottle. All of which matter to us (and we know matter to many of you too).
Yes, it meant letting go of a few long-time favourites from further afield, but we genuinely believe NZ hydrosols are world class, and we’re proud to support the people who make them.
Swipe through to see our current range of NZ grown hydrosols, all freshly distilled, all spray free and preservative free, all local.

Tallow is back in stock! 🎉
And to celebrate, we’re sharing a brand new cold-process soap recipe featuring this beautifully old-school ingredient.
Our Lavender & Tallow Soap blends cosmetic-grade tallow (refined right here in Aotearoa) with calming lavender essential oil to create a creamy, long-lasting bar with a soft floral scent and nourishing feel.
It’s firm, rich, and lathers like a dream. A traditional ingredient reimagined for modern natural soapmaking.

🌲 Douglas Fir Essential Oil
One of our most beautiful (and often overlooked) essential oils.
With crisp citrus top notes layered over a smooth, resinous base, this essential oil captures the scent of Aotearoa’s wild forests in every drop. Grown in FSC®-certified forests on the South Island, it’s harvested from regenerating hedge-rows – meaning the trees aren’t felled, just gently trimmed on a 5-year rotation so they keep growing strong 🌿
The foliage is distilled within four hours of harvest at a custom-built in-forest distillery, using renewable energy from biomass woodchip (the same by-product from harvesting!). Not only is the distillery self-powered – it even produces surplus energy for nearby businesses.
Distilled using pristine artesian water and low-temp steam, the result is a fresh, clear, and true-to-nature aroma that’s third-party tested and bottled pure.
✨ Beautiful in diffusers, balms, deodorants, DIY cleaners, seasonal blends & sauna rituals. It also makes a gorgeous middle note in natural perfumes - pairing effortlessly with citrus, spice & woods.
This oil has everything: story, sustainability & scent.

Every summer we get an influx of people asking us for DIY sunscreen recipes, which is totally understandable, you’re making all your other skincare, and you can see all the natural ingredients available, so why not sunscreen too?
Well there’s a reason we will never provide sunscreen recipes, and we wanted to provide a thorough explanation as to why.
Why You Shouldn’t Make Your Own DIY Sunscreen - Especially in Aotearoa New Zealand. Understanding UVA and UVB Rays. We get asked for DIY sunscreen recipes!

Go Native is New Zealand's premium online supplier of natural and organic skincare ingredients.
We stock essential oils, carrier oils, cosmetic butters, waxes, fragrance oils, raw materials, ready-to-go bases, and more.
We've been in operation since 2001 and in our present form since 2007.
We’re a small, close-knit team of family and friends who are committed to finding the finest ingredients from around the world. These ingredients must be ethically sourced and where possible we buy direct from the growers, so we can establish a relationship with them.
We are customer focused and really like to hear what our customers have to say about our products and service and what ingredients they would like us to provide. This feedback enables us to improve our service.
History
Go Native New Zealand was founded by Elinor McEwan in 2001 and is based in Auckland, New Zealand.
We started as Go Native Soap Company making handmade, cold-process soaps. This led to contract manufacturing soap for a New Zealand natural cosmetics company that exported the soap, mainly to Korea, Taiwan and Japan.
By 2007, we decided there was a need for a good supplier of natural and organic skincare ingredients.
When starting out making your own skincare products, it is very hard to source the ingredients, and especially hard to source them in small quantities.
So, we organised a new website and late September 2007 set off in a newish direction.
We import ingredients from around the world and are continuously searching for new, genuine suppliers.
We have years of experience in the fields of soapmaking and skincare creams so are able to help with most questions you have.
