Skin Care Products Made With Water from Artesian Wells

There are many sources of fresh water around the world. Unfortunately, most of them are located in regions that have been affected by human occupation and industry for hundreds, if not thousands, of years.

So we went to the far ends of the earth to source an alternative.

The water used in Ao products comes from an aquifer in the far north of New Zealand. The low population and the lack of local industry has resulted in water of rare purity. It is sustainably extracted, filtered and supplied to us for use in our skin care range.

Kauri Springs New Zealand mineral water is extracted directly from a pristine aquifer in “Kaiwaka”, deep beneath the untouched Mt Pukekaroro Reserve in the far North of New Zealand. The surrounding countryside is covered by virgin forest, ensuring a 100% pure and natural environment.

RESTORE SKIN TO ITS NATIVE STATE OF HEALTH

From the depths of minerals pools and the heights of mountain peaks comes Ao—a line of beauty born from the wild abundance of the world’s last settled landscape.

Our fresh scientific methods filter nature’s potent energy into products designed to overcome uncertain elements and defend your skin’s dynamic boundary.

_Adaptive ingredients that stand up to the harshest conditions

_Cold processed formulas that retain the raw power of every active

_Instigative expertise that questions standard skincare practices

This is beauty from the brink that brings back your natural balance.

Harvard-trained pathologist and dermatologist Dr. Mark Gray deeply understands the science of skin. As the founding Director of the largest provider of skin medical and surgical services in New Zealand, he’s spent the past 20 years listening to his patients struggle with the skincare world’s mixed messages: effective ingredients that are harmful; natural ingredients that don’t deliver results.

Armed with the belief that skincare is evolutionary, he explored breaking scientific advancements and societal trends towards globalism, environmentalism and rising ethical standards to find the ideal balance between health and efficacy.

"Skincare science needs to be on the very edge of social change and evolution in order to succeed."
