RAW materials

Producing raw materials of the highest quality is an integral part of doing business in New Zealand.

A wide range of raw materials are manufactured and exported by New Zealand companies for use in the cosmetic and health care industries. New Zealand sourced products are in demand for a number of reasons - the country’s clean green image, the wide range of plant extracts sold under organic certified standards and the stringent regulations for animal-derived materials.

New Zealand is free from Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) and foot and mouth disease, and is one of the only nine countries accorded Group 1 status by the European Union in respect of BSE and related diseases. Consequently New Zealand sourced raw materials can be considered the safest in the world.

Only animals which have passed ante and post mortem examination (and have been passed as fit for human consumption) can be processed for export. Most New Zealand meat plants are EU and US approved facilities, and have comprehensive control measures in place to ensure quality, and avoid cross contamination.

New Zealand’s regulations on animal traceability ensure that individual batches of product and raw material can be traced back to a small geographical area of the country, providing further peace of mind for customers.
