Horopito - a native New Zealand herb with an incredible story. It's what makes Kolorex unique.
Endemic to New Zealand rainforests, Horopito is a 65 million-year-old herb with a unique ability; to produce its own bioactive defence with antimicrobial and antifungal properties. We’ve spent decades researching and sustainably farming Horopito.
We've unlocked this power of Horopito to soothe, nourish, and restore your body with our range of washes, derma creams, and supplements!
We are a proud New Zealand business through and through. Our Horopito is grown in Golden Bay, our office is based in Nelson, and we only used local manufacturers.
Almost 30 years of R&D has gone into sustainably growing a potent form of Horopito and learning how to extract its bio-active compound, Polygodial. We transform nature's wisdom into the Kolorex women's and men's intimate care collection, derma range, and gut care products.
The Kolorex collection contains no parabens, mineral oils, synthetic preservatives, synthetic fragrances, or SLS/SLES. We like to keep things clean and simple. It's in our nature.
