No Chemicals
Everyday we expose our bodies to hundreds of synthetic chemicals by just having a shower or cleaning the house. Many products we use contain chemicals that have been linked to serious health issues. Why risk our own well-being?
Look at the ingredient list on your toiletries, cosmetics and cleaning products. If they are unpronounceable they should probably stay in the chemistry lab! Avoid paraben preservatives, artificial colours and fragrances, sodium lauryl sulphate, petrolatum products, isopropyl alcohol and aluminium to name a few. Wouldn’t you rather treat your body to sweet almond oil, lavender and honey?
You can shop in confidence at Red Rata. All our products contain ingredients that the earth provides for us and which have been used for centuries because of their beneficial properties.
At Red Rata we believe you are as healthy as the things you put ON your body, not just in it!
About Us
I started Red Rata in 2008 as I found it difficult to find great natural body and home care products that I could buy from one shop.
As a health professional, I have always been interested in what’s good for us but having children made me even more concerned about the potential harmful effects that chemicals in everyday products may have on us. I knew there had to be much better alternatives that are actually good for you and the environment.
And so Red Rata was born!
Red Rata fits into my busy life as a mum to two beautiful littlies. We live in gorgeous Wanaka, and love the contrasting cold winters for playing in the snow and warm summers for bike rides and walks.

"The sunscreen is really good - nice to apply, not smelly (ie perfume) not greasy but nicely moisturising. It was used by others in the group on our trip to Rarotonga, who also liked it. It certainly worked well - we have come home with nice tans but no sunburn!"
Shirley
"I love the Earthwise laundry powder. It is super concentrated and cleans a whole lot better than any other Eco product I have used. I also like that it is manufactured in NZ from all natural ingredients"
Sophie
"My baby’s skin went from dry to lovely and soft in only a couple of days of using the Tui Bee Balme. Such a great product, will be getting that again"
Carolyn
"Love the Herb Farm face cream, and the Essence Body Oil. Both smell gorgeous and really moisturize my skin. It’s so great to find products fragranced with beautiful essential oils"
