At Awara Skin, every product is born from the earth, the ground, and Country — from the rich soil, native botanicals, and ancient knowledge that have sustained our people for generations.
Our ingredients are harvested with care and cultural respect by Indigenous harvesters who hold deep connections to Country and the natural seasons that nurture it.
Partnering with Indigenous harvesters is about more than sourcing the highest quality, ethically gathered botanicals — it’s about giving back, creating meaningful opportunities, and ensuring traditional knowledge continues to be passed down for generations to come
MEET SOME OF OUR INDIGENOUS HARVESTING PARTNERS
Kaiyu Superfoods
Kaiyu Superfoods is a First Nations-owned Australian business specializing in native superfoods like Kakadu Plum, Quandong, and Lemon Myrtle. They are proudly one of the few First Nations growers operating across Australia.
Ethically sourced and carefully processed — often freeze-dried without the seed to preserve maximum nutrients — Kaiyu’s products are naturally rich in vitamin C and antioxidants.
Blending traditional knowledge with modern food science, Kaiyu creates products that support Indigenous communities and educate consumers on the health benefits of native ingredients, while contributing to meaningful social impact through employment and business development for Aboriginal communities in the Northern Territory and beyond.
We choose to source our native ingredients directly from Indigenous harvesters to ensure transparency, authenticity, and fair representation within the skincare industry.
By working directly with First Nations harvesters, we honour the people and Country our ingredients come from — supporting ethical practices, fair pay, and the preservation of traditional knowledge.
Representation matters. Too often, First Nations people are left out of the commercial stories built around their own culture and resources. Awara Skin is committed to changing that — ensuring our products not only celebrate native ingredients, but the hands and heritage behind them.
Honouring Knowledge of Country
For thousands of years, Aboriginal people have understood the healing power of Australia’s native plants. This deep relationship with the land is sacred, and it guides how we choose our suppliers.
