Essentially Tamara is proudly 100% New Zealand owned and operated.
We specialise in handcrafting shower and body treats which are elegant and feminine with a twist of sophistication. Our products are made in small batches using premium ingredients. Every product is individually hand crafted and packaged by hand with care and attention to every detail.
Our mission is to offer unique, luxurious and premium products that bring relaxation into the shower environment. In addition, we present our products in premium packaging so that they are not only great for personal use but also wonderful for gifting purposes.

Our Ethics
All our products are vegan-friendly and completely cruelty-free. They do not contain any animal derived products. We try as much as possible to only use recyclable or biodegradable materials. All our products are safe for the environment, without exception. Our products are free of parabens, sulphates and phthalates.
Simply due to the nature of the ingredients needed to make our shower bombs, they need to be packaged in plastic to protect them from moisture. We are so proud to be able to say that the plastic that we use is oxo-biodegradable which means that within 3-5 years of being in landfill conditions, our plastic will completely biodegrade without leaving any trace of the original polymer components which were used to make the plastic in the first place.

Kaitiakitanga
We recognise that environmental sustainability and the wellbeing of people and communities are one and the same. Therefore, we seek to reduce our collective impact, cause no unnecessary harm, and make products that are as non-toxic and healthy as possible.
