amio - meaning to orbit, go round, circle round, roam, travel round in Māori is a space dedicated to slowing down skincare and returning to nature. Founded by two New Zealander's with a passion for slow living.

If you told me a few years ago we'd be selling tallow skincare products I would have laughed! I was deep in the world of complicated routines and ingredient lists ten pages long. My skin was a mess, I was struggling with acne and eczema. Every new product I tried just overwhelmed my skin barrier and made things worse. Then I became pregnant and everything changed. I was much more aware of what I was putting in and on my body. I wanted to get back to basics and find something simpler and more nourishing.

That's when we discovered tallow and that it's one of the most nutrient dense fats on the planet - packed with vitamins and fatty acids that mirror our own skin. My routine got less complicated, my skin calmed down.

We created amio to reconnect skincare with nature and bring it full circle to the simple, effective ways of the past. By returning to pure, natural ingredients, we were able to declutter our routines, slow down the way we cared for our skin, and find real, lasting improvements by trusting in the power of the earth.

amio is skincare, full circle.
