Moko Pounamu Kawakawa Oil and Taonga Spray

Caring for the Taonga that journey with us.

Our taonga carry more than their physical form. They hold stories, memories, whakapapa, and the connections that shape who we are.

A collaboration between Whakapakari Ora and Moko Pounamu, this collection supports the ongoing care and maintenance of treasured taonga through simple, intentional rituals of connection and respect.

Inspired by the gifts of our native plants and the understanding that meaningful care begins with relationships, these offerings invite a moment to pause, reconnect, and honour the journey your taonga has travelled alongside you.

Whether gifted, inherited, or chosen for a significant moment in life, our taonga accompany us through many seasons. By caring for them, we acknowledge the stories they hold, the people connected to them, and the paths that continue to unfold.

More than products, these are tools for connection—supporting the relationship between people and the taonga they treasure.
