Green Botanical Serum

Name: Green Botanical Serum
Brand: ACTIVIST
SKU: 19
Price: 96.0 EUR
Availability: InStock

A soothing, moisturising serum built from botanicals native to Aotearoa New Zealand. Squalane, kawakawa extract, Mānuka oil, kiwi seed oil, and avocado oil — each chosen for a specific function. The result is a serum that works quietly. Skin that is calmer, more hydrated, and more resilient the morning after. Exceptional as an after-sun treatment. Equally strong as a daily serum.

Apply two to three drops to clean skin, morning or evening. Press in gently — do not rub. Follow with moisturiser if needed.

Frequently Asked +

What does kawakawa do for skin?
Kawakawa is a native New Zealand plant traditionally used in Māori medicine for its anti-inflammatory and healing properties. It soothes redness, calms irritation, and supports skin recovery.

Can I use this under SPF or makeup?
Yes. Apply the serum first, allow 2–3 minutes to absorb, then apply SPF or foundation on top. The squalane base is lightweight and does not interfere with layering.

Is this suitable for oily skin?
Yes. Squalane is non-comedogenic and well-tolerated by oily and combination skin types.

What does A.M.S stand for?
A.M.S stands for Activist Mānuka Skincare — the topical sub-line from ACTIVIST using Mānuka-derived botanicals as the base for each formula.

About ACTIVIST Mānuka +

ACTIVIST was founded by Gabrielle Mirkin and Luke Harwood, a husband and wife team whose love of the land traces back to their childhoods in New Zealand. After careers in New York — Mirkin as a senior designer at Vogue, Harwood running an independent fashion label — they returned to New Zealand, started keeping bees, and built a brand around one of the most bioactive ingredients on earth.
