Restoring More
Than Skin
Beauty
to restore your skin
Skincare led by nature-based science. Pure. Potent. Purposeful.
Plants with Purpose
Transformative beauty for a thriving planet.
Our mission is to restore our planet through native, natural botanicals and the transformative power of biodiversity regeneration. 100% of profits from KAEA products are reinvested into growing native flora & fauna on our 800 acre living eco-lab, located in Aotearoa New Zealand.
Pure. Potent. Purposeful.
Performance-led skincare with 46 phytonutrient-rich botanical actives.
At the heart of our skin-kind formulas is a plant-powered proprietary complex of High Performance Actives (HPA). Formulated from biodiverse botanical concentrates and essential oils, each HPA is carefully chosen to work synergistically for transformative skin and wellbeing benefits. By expertly balancing these targeted plant extracts at the optimum ratios, we enhance their individual and collective performance.
