Crescent Nest Bamboo Sonic Toothbrush
We love a Kiwi success story just as much as we love a healthy smile. Crescent Nest delivers both. This NZ-based women-led brand elevates self-care through sustainability and style. The stylishly good-looking Bamboo Sonic Toothbrush helps slash toothbrush landfill waste by an estimated 85%. It also offers a refreshingly practical and appealing alternative to the era of plastic toothbrushes, instead delivering compostable bamboo heads and castor oil bristles, operating at 40,000 vibrations per minute. The Crescent Nest toothbrush has five modes and a 60-day long-lasting battery (plus USB charger). But the story doesn’t end there – each toothbrush purchased supports global reforestation efforts in partnership with One Tree Planted. With each brush, a tree is planted, helping build toward a cleaner, greener world. That’s plenty of reasons to smile.
Greencane Laundry Detergent Sheets
Make the switch to eco-friendly and zero-waste alternatives for your daily chores. Greencane is a remarkable New Zealand business dedicated to providing sustainable choices for everyday products. One of the newer additions to the impressive range is the brand’s Laundry Detergent Sheets. Made with natural ingredients for a powerful, chemical-free clean, these sheets are 100% biodegradable and free from harsh chemicals. While similar offerings from brands around the globe have in the past have been negligible on successful performance, these Greencane sheets are tough on stains, and also dissolve quickly in both hot or cold water, leaving clothes fresh and residue-free. Plus for those with RVs where space is at a premium, these compact sheets mean no more carting around laundry powder etc. Simply grab a sheet and you’re good to go.
Forsana Tank Water Treatment
While there’s nothing particularly sexy or endearing about water disinfection, this is an area which many people surprisingly neglect to pay consistent attention to. Forsana Tank Water Treatment takes the drama out of the process – and best of all, it’s chlorine-free! Made with enhanced hydrogen peroxide, it effectively kills 99.99% of waterborne bacteria, viruses, and fungi, reduces biofilm buildup in water systems, and is a proven solution with global accreditation for commercial use in trains, airplanes, and cruise ships. Unlike chlorine treatments, it leaves no unpleasant taste or harmful residue and breaks down into water and oxygen, making it safe for human use and the environment. That’s a true win-win. The clever Kiwi brand is consistently harnessing the natural power of oxygen, water and silver ions – for impressive results. Prioritise your wellbeing.
Fend Insect Repellent
When it comes to insect repellent, chemical-laden sprays have traditionally been the go-to. Fend® is a family-friendly, no-nasties option which offers a more environmentally friendly alternative to DEET. Rather than harsh chemical pesticides, Fend® uses a gentle amino acid derivative ingredient called IR3535®. This works by confusing insects’ sensory receptors, disrupting their ability to detect carbon dioxide and therefore their ability to find and bite their host. IR3535® is considered a safer and more environmentally friendly alternative to DEET. Better yet, Fend. goes on like a moisturiser and doesn’t leave skin feeling oily or sticky, plus it’s safe for babies aged two months upwards.
Honey Biotics Intense Moisturiser
The humble honeybee comes to the rescue again – Honey Biotics Intense Moisturiser is widely touted as the strongest natural alternative to steroid based creams, which bring their own form of side effects. Steroid creams may offer short-term relief, but prolonged use can lead to thinning skin, increased sensitivity, and even more frequent flare-ups. Rethink your skincare routine for 2026 and choose a solution that nourishes and supports skin—naturally. This handy little tube of goodness is the perfect travel companion. Keep one in your RV or caravan to have on hand for everything from scratches and bites to dry patches. With the power of high-quality, New Zealand UMF Manuka Honey, Beeswax and Jojoba combined with the strongest Natural Vitamin E (D-Alpha-Tocopherol-Acetate) in any skincare product, this Intense Moisturiser is uniquely able to deeply penetrate the skin’s natural barriers to hydrate, nourish and restore.
Neat Mg+ Magnesium and Arnica Recovery Gel
If aches, pains and discomfort are a familiar feeling, embrace the 100% natural benefits of this remarkable New Zealand Magnesium & Arnica Recovery Gel. Available as a smooth spreadable gel, or in the convenience of a spray, apply directly to skin for an infusion of magnesium, arnica and essential oils. As well as helping with injuries, it offers relief for tired muscles (perfect for those long drives). Made right here in New Zealand by Neat, it’s also small batch made and cruelty-free.
