Oak + I

I love seeing other people share their honest product recommendations so I thought I'd do the same. We get asked a lot what we actually use at home and the honest answer is, not that much! We've become a less is more family and I really believe in what we bring into our home.

Swipe through for our current favourites, from the kitchen, the bathroom, the cleaning cupboard and everything in between. Nothing sponsored, just the stuff we genuinely use every day.

And yes. Obviously Oak & I made the list 😄

She's back. And honestly it feels good to say that.

The Oak & I Botanical Body Balm sold out faster than we expected and we've had so many of you asking when it's coming back. It's here.

If you've been waiting, now's your moment. And if you've never tried it, this is a great place to start.

Enriched with Totarol from the native NZ Tōtara tree. Clean ingredients, nothing in there without a reason.

Pairs perfectly with the deodorant. Our favourite duo for a reason.

We're a small brand made in Whanganui by two real people, and this is everything we make.

A natural deodorant that's baking soda-free, aluminium-free, and actually works. A botanical body balm that does about twelve jobs at once. A bug spray built around native NZ botanicals. And a man balm that, despite the name, is very much loved by everyone.

Small range. Clean ingredients. Nothing in there without a reason.

Swipe to meet each one.

We didn't set out to build a "sustainable brand." We just couldn't justify doing it any other way.

Cardboard packaging you can compost at home. Naturalotanicals and native NZ extracts. Nothing synthetic, nothing we wouldn't put on our own kids. Made in small batches in Whanganui because that's where we live and that's how we like to do things.

We're not perfect. But we're always trying to do better.

We'll let our customers do the talking on this one.

When we set out to make a natural deodorant that actually works, this is exactly what we hoped people would say. No rash. No reaction. Lasts all day. Smells great. Safe enough to feel good about.

We're a small brand made in Whanganui by two real people, and every review like these genuinely means everything to us. Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to share their experience.

If you've been on the fence about switching, maybe Sarah, Kayley, Mere and Holly can help you make up your mind.

Good news: you made a great choice switching to natural deodorant. The other news: your body has a few thoughts about it first.

Week one, not much happens. Your skin is just getting used to a formula that isn't working against it. Normal.

Week two is where most people give up, and we get it. Your underarm bacteria are recalibrating without aluminium salts blocking everything. Things can get a little lively. Stick with it.

Week three, things start to settle. Most people notice the odour easing and moisture finding its rhythm again.

Week four? Fully adjusted. Skin happy. Whole family converted. (See Njela's review on the last slide for proof.)

Worth it. Every time.
