Between Ocean and Forest.
New Zealand is defined by its forests and its oceans. Geographic isolation has allowed unique native botanicals to flourish across the land, while the surrounding seas have nurtured rich marine ecosystems. To honour this natural heritage, House of Ossory draws from the best of both.
Our forest-derived ingredients include Mānuka, Hōuhere, Mamaku, Akeake, and Totarol, each selected for the unique characteristics that have emerged through New Zealand's isolated ecosystems. From the hydrating potential of Mamaku extracts to the antioxidant properties of Totarol, these ingredients reflect our commitment to exploring the scientific potential of New Zealand's native flora.
Alongside these botanicals, House of Ossory incorporates advanced marine biotechnology, including biomimetic exosome systems powered by green microalgae and marine biopolymer encapsulation technologies designed to enhance bioavailability and support the delivery of active ingredients. These innovations complement our botanical foundations, bringing together the intelligence of nature with the precision of modern science.
Inspired by New Zealand's forests and oceans, House of Ossory combines native botanicals with advanced marine science to create formulations grounded in both science and ceremony.
