Natural Skincare That Nourishes Your Skin and our Planet
At Scenturie, nestled in the heart of New Zealand, we believe true beauty is a reflection of well-being—a harmony between radiant skin and a conscious connection to our environment. This philosophy transcends mere skincare; it’s a commitment to crafting products that nurture both your skin and the delicate ecosystem that surrounds us. From our meticulously formulated blends to our unwavering dedication to sustainable practices and ethical sourcing, we strive to embody a holistic approach to beauty that resonates with the pristine landscapes of Aotearoa.
“I envisioned Scenturie as a sanctuary for those seeking skincare that aligns with their values. In a world increasingly conscious of its environmental footprint, we stand as a beacon of responsible beauty, rooted in the rich biodiversity and cultural heritage of New Zealand.” Tania Cibulskis – Scenturie Founder.
Respect for Our Planet and Its Resources: Our Sustainable Promise
New Zealand’s breathtaking natural beauty inspires our commitment to environmental stewardship. We understand the importance of preserving the pristine landscapes that define our nation, and this ethos permeates every aspect of our business.
Sustainable Packaging: Embracing Circularity
We believe in minimising waste and embracing circularity. That’s why we utilise recyclable and reusable amber glass jars and bottles for all our products. Amber glass not only protects the integrity of our natural formulations but also reduces the need for single-use plastics. Our innovative refill options and our comprehensive Returnable Product Packaging Service initiative is designed to reduce landfill and encourage our customers to participate in a responsible consumption cycle.
Palm Oil-Free: Protecting Our Forests, Preserving Our Future
We recognise the devastating impact of unsustainable palm oil production on deforestation and climate change.

By choosing Scenturie, you are supporting a brand that prioritises the health of our planet and the preservation of our precious ecosystems.
Local Sourcing: Reducing Our Carbon Footprint
We prioritise sourcing ingredients locally whenever possible. This not only reduces our carbon footprint but also supports New Zealand’s economy and its vibrant community of growers and producers.
Respect for Nature: Harnessing the Power of Aotearoa’s Flora
New Zealand’s unique flora and fauna provide a treasure trove of natural ingredients with potent skincare benefits. We harness the power of these botanicals to create gentle, effective skincare that is kind to all skin types and the environment.
100% Vegan & Cruelty-Free: Ethical Beauty
We believe in creating beauty without compromise. Our formulations are 100% vegan and cruelty-free, reflecting our commitment to ethical practices and the well-being of all living beings. We never test on animals, and we are proud supporters of the New Zealand Anti-Vivisection Society (NZAVS), championing compassionate beauty that aligns with the values of our community.
Our commitment to cruelty-free beauty was recognised in 2023 when we were honoured to be a winner in the Cruelty-Free NZ Awards. This award acknowledges our dedication to creating ethical and sustainable skincare products that are kind to animals and the environment.
