The New Zealand skin care market stands out for its emphasis on sustainability, clean beauty, and ethical sourcing. Consumers in New Zealand prefer skincare products that are environmentally friendly, cruelty-free, and made from locally sourced ingredients such as manuka honey, kawakawa, and kiwifruit extracts. The growing influence of wellness trends has further encouraged brands to merge skincare with holistic health, offering products enriched with natural antioxidants and vitamins.
