We like skincare with a little less going on. Eckco® brings together Kawakawa, Mānuka, Calendula and a considered collection of plant oils in waterless balms and oils made for everyday routines.
Think rich botanical balms, lightweight face oils and minimal blends where the ingredients, textures and natural colours are part of the experience. Fragrance free and without added fillers, it’s skincare that keeps the focus on the botanicals.
A New Zealand indie brand with an intentional, unhurried approach.
There is something different about making things slowly. At Eckco®, blends are given time to develop, ingredients are handled with care and each batch gets attention along the way. From Kawakawa Balm, Kawakawa Oil and Unscented Beard Oil to the wider Eckco® range, each product is part of that same hands-on approach. Considered, uncomplicated and a little removed from the rush of mass-market skincare.

The Journal – by Eckco
Explore the Journal for behind-the-scenes stories from the studio and a deeper look at our native ingredients. From the slow-craft process of our Triple Infusion to the inspiration behind our Kawakawa Barrier Balm, discover the philosophy and care that goes into every tin.
How is the Kawakawa used in Eckco products sourced and processed?
Our Kawakawa (Piper excelsum) is sourced from our own private wild-grown plants. The leaves are hand-picked, gently washed, and slowly processed in small batches through our triple-infusion method, resulting in clean, waterless botanical bases.
What sets Eckco skincare products apart?
Eckco skincare products are made with minimalist, waterless botanical blends. By leaving water out of balms and oils, the formulas are built differently from water-based skincare and use a concentrated mix of plant-based ingredients.
Where do you source your native New Zealand botanicals?
We source our native botanical ingredients locally within New Zealand. Our Kawakawa (Piper excelsum) is gathered from our private supply and slow-steeped in small batches using a traditional triple-infusion process.
Why does Eckco focus on single source plant and fruit seed oils?
Eckco focuses on single-source plant and fruit seed oils as part of a minimalist formula. Cold-pressed oils such as Moringa Seed Oil (Moringa oleifera seed oil) and Pomegranate Seed Oil (Punica granatum seed oil) are selected for their botanical character and lightweight feel in the blend.

We keep things straightforward, combining botanical oils, waxes, and infusions with carefully selected ingredients. No added fragrance and no hidden or unnecessary fillers.
