PoipoiaŌtautahi

Nikkita Koia , the dynamic wahine Māori behind Poipoia Ōtautahi, has cultivated a thriving Rongoā Māori wellbeing and skincare business rooted in aroha (love), whānau (family), and manaakitanga (care & support). What began as an exploration of the traditions of her culture and a deep connection to the whenua, and community has blossomed into the Poipoia Ōtuatahi brand, handcrafting natural, healing skincare products that honour te ao Māori (the Māori world view) and the wisdom of Rongoā Māori. Based in Aotearoa, Nikkita and her whānau personally oversee every step of the process—from sustainably harvesting native plants to lovingly packaging each order. This hands-on approach ensures that every product is infused with intention, tradition, and the highest quality natural ingredients. Poipoia Ōtautahi’s range is designed to heal, nourish, and protect all skin types, blending the restorative power of Rongoā Māori with modern skincare needs. Each formulation is carefully crafted using botanicals known for their therapeutic properties, staying true to tikanga Māori (Māori protocols) in harvesting and preparation. As the brand grows, Nikkita remains committed to expanding her offerings while staying deeply connected to kaupapa Māori—celebrating whakapapa (genealogy), cultural heritage, and the profound relationship between people and nature. Poipoia Ōtautahi is more than skincare; it’s a celebration of Māori traditions, holistic wellbeing, and the belief that nature holds the key to radiant, healthy skin. Discover the magic of Rongoā Māori through Nikkita’s beautifully crafted products—made with love, for your skin and soul.
