ŌKU – Founders Helen Paul-Smith & Scott Smith
B Corp Certified | Māori Botanical Wellness | Handmade in Aotearoa

ŌKU is the vision of husband-and-wife team Helen Paul-Smith and Scott Smith , a B Corp certified wellbeing brand deeply rooted in Aotearoa’s natural environment. Together, they harness the unique combination of native botanicals traditionally used by Māori to enhance health and wellbeing.

Helen brings the wisdom of her tūpuna (ancestors), while Scott contributes over 20 years of expertise as a naturopath, medical herbalist, and product development specialist. This powerful blend of ancestral knowledge and clinical science has earned ŌKU a loyal following and multiple awards for their teas, elixirs, and skincare.

Every ŌKU product is artisanally handmade in New Zealand – from small-batch herbal blends to potent, plant-based skincare. But their commitment goes beyond wellness: every purchase helps regenerate New Zealand’s native bush, ensuring that healing the land and healing the people go hand in hand.

Discover ŌKU where tūpuna wisdom, clinical herbalism, and environmental restoration unite.
