Nature & Science

Our Ingredients

At Hark & Zander we care deeply about the purity and the effectiveness of our skincare. Each ingredient has been carefully selected to improve texture, brighten complexion and leave your skin radiant and smooth. We ensure our ingredients are natural, traceable and have robust scientific efficacy. Our products are the result of leading edge 'green science' innovation based on the belief that nature knows best, if you work hard enough to understand everything it can pass on. From our hard work with Nature, Sativelle3™ was born.

SATIVELLE3™ - NEW ZEALAND'S first PREMIUM TRIPLE SHIELD OIL FOR THE SKIN

 “Kōaka is one of NZ nature’s wonder-plants, providing anti-fungal, anti-microbial, and anti-bacterial trio benefits to the skin. 
Our hard research and development work to bring this amazing ingredient to the Sativelle3™️ complex was worth it. Now you can access its triple action in all of our products.” - Kirsty Harkness

The Science

Our formulations have been developed and tested in a leading New Zealand cosmetic laboratory to deliver us scientifically proven results, with optimal performance and stability.

We avoid cheap fillers, harmful toxins or anything unethical as we believe the perfect formulations are those which marry the best of the natural world with the advances in modern science, to deliver premium quality, gorgeous skincare formulations to help us get the best from our skin. 

Our formulations can be used on all skin types, and are especially helpful for sensitive skin.  

The Sativelle3™ Triple Power

We only use organic, New Zealand grown Coldpressed Kōakaheart Oil using a process that is unique in New Zealand to extract the oil from the heart of the Kōaka seed, producing a luxurious, golden organic oil we called Sativelle3™, especially crafted for Hark & Zander.

Sativelle3™ has been designed to bring you the very best of the Kōaka active powers. Anti-Microbial, Anti-Bacterial, Anti-Fungal. Our unique Sativelle3™ active acts as a triple shield on your skin, retaining moisture and vitality while protecting it against everyday environmental attacks.

Kōakaheart Oil is also one of the least comedogenic of all natural oils, meaning it won’t clog or block pores. And thanks to its triple shield properties, it is perfectly suited for sensitive skin as well. As a wonder of nature, it doesn’t contain any of the potential allergens that natural actives can sometimes carry, causing inflammation or irritation to certain people.

Our Sativelle3™ active is probably one of the most powerful natural ingredients one could add to their skincare routine - and we use it in all our products.

The Goodness For All

We love natural oils. That’s why we combine Sativelle3™ with 100% organic Macadamia Nut Oil, Apricot Kernel Oil, Sweet Almond, Sunflower and Olive Oils, depending on our product's formulations. Because we know they all come with incredible benefits to keep the skin healthy and radiant.

As a New Zealand owned and operated company, we pride ourselves to make the most of our incredible native botanicals. New Zealand Kawakawa Leaf Extract, Sea Buckthorn & Squalane are recognised worldwide for their hydration, antioxidants and promotion of collagen properties. And we use them along with our own Sativelle3™.

Many of our formulations also feature the clinically proven OceanDerMX® which is a natural complex proven to visibly improve skin appearance.

For all of these reasons, our formulations can be used on all skin types. From the most sensitive to combination skin types, struggling with imperfections.
