From our founder

A simple ritual born from a very real need.

Tui & Moon began with my own experience of postpartum hair loss. I wanted something that could support my scalp and hair, yet still feel gentle enough to become part of my everyday routine.

After struggling to find a product that offered that balance, I began exploring the botanicals around me. What started with rosemary from the garden gradually became a carefully considered scalp-care ritual and, ultimately, Tui & Moon Botanicals.

Today, we are a small, family-owned New Zealand business creating botanical hair and scalp care with simplicity and consistency in mind. Every product is designed to make caring for your scalp feel easy, calming and worthwhile.

Melanie Founder, Tui & Moon Botanicals

We believe healthier-looking hair begins with a scalp that is consistently cared for.

Our philosophy

Nature-led care, made with intention.

Our approach combines purposeful botanical ingredients with simple rituals designed to become a consistent part of everyday life.

01

Purposeful botanicals

Our formulas are inspired by plants traditionally valued in hair and scalp-care rituals, including rosemary and native New Zealand botanicals.

02

Gentle daily rituals

We create uncomplicated products that fit naturally into everyday life, because consistency should feel achievable rather than overwhelming.

03

Made close to home

Tui & Moon is proudly family owned and made in New Zealand in small batches, allowing care and attention to remain at the heart of what we do.

Our journey

From garden rosemary to a growing New Zealand brand.

Tui & Moon grew slowly and intentionally, beginning with one personal need and developing through the support of our customers.

The beginning

A personal experience

Postpartum hair loss led to a search for a gentle and practical scalp-care routine.

The first formula

Rosemary from the garden

A simple botanical ritual gradually developed into the foundation of the Tui & Moon range.

The first customers

Shared locally

The first bottles were shared with local customers, whose support helped the brand continue to grow.

Today

A family-owned brand

Tui & Moon now creates small-batch botanical scalp care for customers throughout New Zealand.

Behind the name

A name grounded in nature, family and Aotearoa.

Tui

Native beauty

The tūī is a treasured native bird of Aotearoa, known for its distinctive song and beautiful plumage. It represents the natural, expressive and uniquely New Zealand spirit we want our botanical range to embody.

Moon

Marama · family connection

Marama, meaning moon in te reo Māori, is also a treasured family name and reflects our connection to whakapapa. The moon represents light, beauty and a calm presence—qualities woven throughout the Tui & Moon brand.

Thoughtful scalp care, from our family to yours.

Our hope is to help you create a simple ritual that supports your scalp, gives your hair the care it deserves and helps you feel more confident along the way.
