Our Story
From the shore,
for the shore
Ākau is the Māori word for coastline. It is where we grew up, where we learned to surf, sail, and swim. It is also where we kept getting bitten by sea lice and couldn't find a product that actually worked.
"So we made one. Five young New Zealanders, one shared frustration, and a determination to do something about it."
Every bottle is made in Aotearoa, for the people who love Aotearoa's coastline. Real research, real customer conversations, and a real desire to keep New Zealanders in the water longer.
