All botanicals are checked against the IUCN Red List to ensure use of abundant, renewable sources and exclude unsustainable Palm Oil. Packaging is plastic-free, compostable or paper-based and products are handcrafted in small batches in Auckland to minimise waste.
Scenturie demonstrates social responsibility by operating as a strictly cruelty-free brand, supporting the New Zealand Anti-Vivisection Society, and winning the 2023 Cruelty-Free NZ Award. The brand sources fair trade ingredients such as organic Shea Butter from a Ghanaian women’s collective and organic Argan Oil from Moroccan partners. Scenturie runs the Scenturie Loop circular economy program, enabling customers to return product packaging for reuse and provides free educational resources and skincare guides to empower community health knowledge.

Product Reviews by Experts


This is a beautifully executed barrier-supporting formula. The brand’s description of it as an emulsion feels so apt – it has a rich, cocooning texture that really just envelops the skin. During overnight use, it creates a protective seal that very dry or compromised skin craves, genuinely preventing moisture loss while you sleep. By morning, my complexion felt noticeably softer, plumper and restored. I loved it! What impressed me most was how considered and interconnected the brand’s approach is. The commitment to a local-first philosophy feels particularly meaningful in an increasingly globalised industry. I was also struck by the level of scientific rigour applied to sustainability, including screening botanicals against the IUCN Red List, as well as the thoughtful circular economy initiatives that encourage customers to return packaging rather than simply recycle it. So beautifully considered and thoughtful.


I really loved Scenturie’s Ultra-Rich Natural Night Cream as a beautiful every-night cream, especially for skin that needs extra comfort and hydration. It feels rich and nourishing without being heavy, and my skin felt softer, calmer and more cared for by morning. The blend of Cacay Seed Oil, Shea Butter and Hyaluronic Acid gives it that lovely cocooning feel, almost like a protective layer while you sleep, but it still absorbs nicely and feels elegant on the skin. It is the kind of night cream that makes your evening routine feel more luxurious, and I loved how healthy, hydrated and refreshed my skin looked the next day. I really appreciated Scenturie’s approach to sustainability because it feels genuine, practical and carefully thought through. The brand is handcrafted in small batches in Auckland, which gives it a slower, more considered feel and helps reduce unnecessary waste. I also loved that the products are vegan, cruelty-free and free from unsustainable palm oil, with a clear focus on choosing ingredients that are kinder to animals and the environment. The refill and return system is a lovely touch too, especially with glass packaging, plastic-free refills and simple ways for customers to send back empties. Overall, Scenturie feels like a brand that is trying to make beautiful skincare in a more responsible way, with care for the skin, the community and the planet all working together.


This night cream is so silky to apply. It immediately boosted hydration on my dry/mature skin and maintained hydration all night long without feeling too heavy or oily. It also has a pleasant, subtle scent and is housed in a beautiful and sustainable glass jar. Creating evidence-based, micro batched formulations ensures that Scenturie is producing products with purpose that will result in minimal waste. Their focus on circular beauty is really impressive – using upcycled ingredients like the grape seed oil derived from the port wine industry. Very innovative! It’s also great to see them constantly striving to improve with the return and reward recycling initiative. I also love to see that they engage fair trade suppliers to support families living in poverty and ensuring safe working conditions abroad.
