ACTIVIST

Buy ACTIVIST at Skins

At Skins, you’ll discover ACTIVIST, the New Zealand brand founded by Gabrielle Mirkin and Luke Harwood. Drawing on their connection to Aotearoa – the Māori name for New Zealand – they combine Mānuka honey with skincare and wellbeing products. ACTIVIST uses local ingredients, paying close attention to their origin, ecosystems and the way in which raw materials are harvested. The result is a collection in which New Zealand’s natural environment is not only the inspiration, but also the starting point.

Mānuka honey: the key ingredient in ACTIVIST’s products

Mānuka honey forms the basis of ACTIVIST. The beehives are situated in remote, unspoilt parts of New Zealand, far from urban pollution and genetically modified crops. ACTIVIST deliberately maintains fewer hives per area, ensuring the bees have sufficient space to thrive and pollinate Mānuka flowers. The Mānuka tree itself also plays a vital role in the landscape. The plant helps enrich the soil, supports natural water purification and helps prevent erosion. After the harvest, used leaves are returned to the soil, where they act as natural mulch, contributing to new life and growth.

Discover the Mānuka Honey Mask by ACTIVIST

The Mānuka Honey Mask is made from raw Mānuka honey with 850+ MGO and has been developed as a versatile skincare treatment. The honey provides hydration and supports skin in need of comfort and repair. Apply the mask to cleansed skin, leave it on for twenty to thirty minutes, and rinse off with warm water. You can also use a small amount as a cleanser on damp skin or apply it locally to areas that need extra attention. The smooth, double-filtered texture spreads easily over the skin.
