ACTIVES IN DEPTH
ACTIVES IN DEPTH
- Pohutukawa Extract, a native botanical of New Zealand, has anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties. It helps to soothe, condition and calm irritated or inflamed skin.
- Willow Bark is a natural source of salicylic acid (ß-hydroxy acid). It assists in skin cell turnover by helping reduce the buildup of dry, dull skin flakes, resulting in renewed skin. It is also anti-inflammatory and antibacterial, clearing pores and alleviating acne and irritated skin.
- Mandelic Acid gently exfoliates, reduces fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation. Its antibacterial properties help manage oily, blemish-prone skin. Thanks to its larger molecular size, it penetrates the skin more slowly, making it less irritating and suitable for all skin types, including sensitive.
- Panthenol is a powerhouse ingredient known for its deep hydration, soothing properties, and ability to support skin repair. It helps calm irritation, reduce redness, and improve skin barrier function.
- Malic Acid a gentle AHA derived from apples, helping to exfoliate, brighten, and improve skin texture while also supporting hydration.
- Apple Fruit Extract is rich in antioxidants and natural fruit acids, it helps gently exfoliate, boost radiance, and protect against environmental stressors.
- Glycolic Acid the smallest and most potent AHA ( isolated from sugar cane and sugar beets) penetrates deeply to increase cell turnover, smooth fine lines, and fade dark spots.
- Allantoin helps calm irritated skin, reduce redness, and promote healing, making it ideal for sensitive or inflamed skin.
- Colloidal Oatmeal helps soothe and calm irritation with its natural anti-inflammatory properties, providing comforting relief from dryness or itchiness associated with sensitive skin conditions.
- Ultra Low Molecular Weight (ULMW) Hyaluronic Acid penetrates deeper into the skin compared to standard Hyaluronic Acid. This provides deep hydration and helps the skin retain moisture, resulting in a plump and supple appearance. It also helps boost skin elasticity and collagen production, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Derived from plant matter.
- Lactic Acid a mild AHA that hydrates while gently resurfacing for a smoother complexion.
- Citric Acid helps brighten and even skin tone while promoting cell renewal.
- Sunflower Oil high in Oleic and vitamin E is highly moisturizing. It also soothes dry skin and reduces redness.

No Harsh Trends
No strong peels or aggressive retinoids. No fragrance or essential oils.
I have tried many non-toxic / chemical free beauty products and although they were "clean", they were not very effective, especially for older skin.
But, this line is excellent. Great ingredients that do what they claim.
I am using the Resurface to exfoliate dead cells, the Velvet Rose Mask for hydration
the Rewind Vitamin C serum and Revive Cream for day and Lunacreme for night.
They all feel great on my skin and when done, my skin is moisturized and looks bright.
Definitely looking forward to trying more products.
Some may say the price point is high, but to me it is worth it as the products we see in the stores are mostly chemicals that ultimately harm your body and age your skin.
Very happy I have found this brand and I highly recommend !
Thank you Sonali for all the help and information too !
Thank you so much for your beautiful review!
We’re so happy you’re seeing the difference — that’s exactly why I created Pure + Kiwi: skincare that’s not just clean, but truly effective, especially for mature and sensitive skin.
Each product is handmade in small batches using New Zealand botanicals that nourish deeply while staying gentle.
Your routine sounds amazing — Resurface, Velvet Rose, Rewind, and Luna Crème are such a powerful combo for glow and hydration! ✨
Thank you for trusting Pure + Kiwi and sharing your experience — your words help others discover gentle, natural skincare that really works.
