Munted
Waste not. Like all brands, Treebrush Apothecary has batches that go wrong, packaging that gets damaged or stock that gathers dust. Unlike most, we’re not yeeting that into the landfill – we rehome it for a discount. “Munted” is where you find our seconds. Perfect if you want to use it up quick, try out fragrances, or just give it a thrashing.
Why Treebrush Apothecary
We believe in the power of New Zealand’s ingredients. Founded in 2019, we set out to create skincare that included something of Aotearoa within, no exceptions. And to this day, every Treebrush Apothecary kawakawa balm, moisturiser, foot spa and serum has several ingredients straight from New Zealand – locally sourced, locally grown, or endemic.
We also believe in getting great skin and body care into as many hands as possible. Our active ingredients are carefully selected to be perfect for their purpose and gentle on the skin while also being gentle on your pocket. Keeping it simple and remembering who it is for is our secret sauce.
Founded in Queenstown and now locally made in Christchurch, Treebrush Apothecary is a typical New Zealand small business focusing on regular small batches and stocking local shops. You’ll also find us at local markets on a regular basis.
