A.M.S Green Botanical Serum

ACTIVIST centres its philosophy on bee health, sustainable harvesting and ecological responsibility. The brand places its hives in pristine, isolated regions of New Zealand, free from GMOs and urban pollutants, and maintains lower hive densities to avoid overpopulation and support thriving bee communities. This careful stewardship reflects the vital role bees play as environmental indicators. The Mānuka tree itself contributes to soil regeneration, waterway purification and erosion control, while naturally reseeding to sustain long-term growth. During oil harvesting, the distilled leaves return to the soil as nutrient-rich mulch, helping retain moisture and encourage biodiversity. This regenerative approach allows you to enjoy Mānuka products that support both personal wellbeing and environmental balance.

ACTIVIST was founded by Gabrielle Mirkin and Luke Harwood, inspired by their roots in Aotearoa New Zealand and a shared desire to slow down and reconnect with nature. Built around raw Mānuka honey, the brand creates topical and ingestible products for beauty, wellbeing, and everyday immune support. Each formulation uses wild-harvested, non-GMO certified, glyphosate-residue-free ingredients, presented in their purest form with minimal interference. Guided by respect for the land, the bees, and natural cycles, ACTIVIST offers high-quality multi-purpose products that celebrate the power of nature. With ACTIVIST, you can support skin and wellbeing with pure, versatile Mānuka-based care.
