New passions,
New passions,
and unexpected detours.
More than a decade ago, Ruby Foley left Christchurch and a big-city law firm behind to live on a farm in the Waitaki Valley.
She was first introduced to essential oils by her eldest sister, Mary. As a practical person, Ruby wanted a real, useful way to fold them into everyday life — so she began making face moisturiser at the kitchen bench, and kept at it for three quiet years, passing jars to family and friends.
In 2020 the formal retail journey began, and Mrs F. now travels the length of Aotearoa. Making moisturiser, Ruby says, is her fun escape from the hard graft of farming life.
Three things, honestly sourced
What's inside the jar.
No hidden extras, no synthetic fragrance, no fillers. Everything is chosen for what it does, and nothing is added for what it doesn't.
Raw mānuka honey
Unpasteurised UMF 10+ honey from Northland apiaries. Gently antibacterial and deeply hydrating.
Unbleached beeswax
From New Zealand apiaries. A natural emulsifier that holds the formula together — and nothing else.
