Frequently Asked Questions

A: Every Scenturie product is handcrafted in small batches in Auckland, New Zealand. We source our high-quality, sustainable ingredients from approved local suppliers and distributors wherever possible, ensuring maximum freshness and quality.

A: Yes. We are committed to using only natural, plant-derived ingredients. Our two main priorities are effectiveness and safety. We thoroughly research every ingredient using up-to-date scientific studies to ensure it is beneficial for your skin and safe for both you and the environment. We never use parabens, sulfates, silicones, synthetic fragrances, or other known irritants.

A: Yes. We are very proud to be a 100% vegan and certified cruelty-free brand. This is a core part of our philosophy. We are proud supporters of the New Zealand Anti-Vivisection Society (NZAVS), so you can be confident that no product or ingredient has ever been tested on animals.

A: While we use many organic ingredients, our range as a whole is not certified organic. We focus on sourcing the highest quality cosmetic-grade natural ingredients based on their proven nutritional benefits for the skin. The refining process for these ingredients ensures they meet strict purity standards.

A: We are a proudly palm oil-conscious brand. We formulate to avoid palm oil, and the vast majority of our ingredients are 100% palm-free. To create the beautiful, stable texture of our creams, one essential component of our natural, olive-derived emulsifier is a derivative from RSPO-certified sustainable palm oil. We are committed to finding a 100% palm-free alternative as soon as new formulating technology makes one available.

A: Any product that contains water requires a preservative to be safe. We only use Ecocert and BIO-GRO approved natural preservatives. Our water-free formulas, like our Revitalising Face Oil, Facial Cleansing Oil, and Super Boost Bakuchiol Serum are completely preservative-free.
