Makers supporting Makers: Gate of Hope Chinese Medicinal Apothecary

One of the best parts of distilling our Kanuka Essential Oil here on French Island is seeing where our bottles end up once they leave the estate. We’ve always believed that small businesses are the backbone of our community, and when local makers team up to support one another, everyone wins. Sourcing ingredients regionally means prioritizing transparency, care, and genuine quality over mass production.
That’s why we are incredibly excited to share a beautiful new product from the team at Gate of Hope Chinese Medicine.
They have formulated a premium beard oil called Wild Oil: Tame the Mane (Spring Woods with He Shou Wu & Buddha Wood), and they chose our pure Kanuka oil to be a part of the blend.
The Gate of Hope team kindly sent a sample over to our workshop, and we can honestly say we absolutely love it. The crisp, piney notes of our Kanuka pair beautifully with the deep, grounding aroma of Buddha Wood and traditional herbs. It feels lightweight, smells fantastic, and is a brilliant showcase of thoughtful, local craftsmanship.
We are so proud to support their work and to see our Australian native oil playing a role in such a great formula.
If you want to check it out, you can support this fantastic maker and grab a bottle of Wild Oil: Tame the Mane directly from Gate of Hope here. And if you'd like to experience the raw, woodsy scent of the pure ingredient for your own home blending or diffuser routines, you can find our naturally distilled Australian Kanuka Essential Oil here.
