From Nurse to Natural Skincare: Turning Struggles into Solutions

Hello, I’m Amanda, the founder of Natural Zest Skincare.
With over 25 years of experience as a Registered Nurse, caring for others has always been at the heart of what I do. My journey into natural skincare started with a very personal struggle-my own battle with dry, sensitive and often irritated skin. Like so many women, I found myself hiding under layers of foundation, feeling uncomfortable and frustrated with my skin. I knew there had to be a better way.

Drawing on my nursing background and my qualifications in Organic Skincare Formulation and Aromatherapy, I embarked on a mission to create skincare that truly nurtures the skin, allowing it to thrive naturally.
I want to empower women to feel confident and comfortable in their skin and to embrace their natural beauty without the need to cover it up.

  • Living in Christchurch, New Zealand’s beautiful Garden City, I am constantly inspired by nature’s purity which aligns with Natural Zest's values-using only natural and organic ingredients that are gentle yet powerful. I firmly believe that what we put on our skin matters. That’s why every product is free from chemicals, synthetic ingredients, and hormone disruptors. Unlike many skincare brands, our formulations are never watered down-our main ingredient is never water, but instead carefully selected botanicals and skin-loving actives.

  • At Natural Zest, skin health is our priority. I am passionate about helping people feel good about themselves, and I love seeing the transformations-not just in a person's skin but in their confidence too. My hope is that every time you use our products, you feel a little more radiant, a little more ‘you,’ and always ready to face the world with a natural, vibrant zest for life.

    Thank you for joining me on this journey. I am so grateful
    to share the gift of natural, nourishing skincare with you.
