Cruelty-free. Made in New Zealand. By Hand.
A small, perfectly-formulated range of indulgent and uncomplicated skincare created to give you healthy, hydrated, happy skin.
From Nursing to natural skincare
Or how I started by accident
I started making Agnes & Me products more than a decade before I sold a jar, and in all honestly selling it never entered my head, until Lisa came along.
Many skincare founders talk about their businesses coming from a place of pain and frustration with skin issues that could not be fixed. I just wanted something natural and gorgeous to use on my own skin, which needed more hydration, partly from getting older and partly from moving to New Zealand.
While I waited for my New Zealand Nursing registration to be approved, I did lots of workshops at the Sustainable Living Centre, mostly gardening, composting, insulation and then one on making a balm.
From there I made a face cream and a body butter, I would gift these to anybody who would use them until Lisa repeatedly told me they were so good I had to sell them.
She took it one step further and convinced a local Farmers Market into letting us have a stall. And the rest is history.

It feels so nourishing and luxurious to the touch. My skins soaks up every little drop and it gratefully rewards its owner with a "glow".
I used the Pink Clay Mask for the first time yesterday ... what a treat! Easy to apply and left my mature skin feeling smooth and soft. Highly recommend this beautiful product.
I love Deirdre’s products. My skin is sensitive and gets red and hot easily. The face cream with lavender and geranium oil is so soothing.Best cream I’ve used. Love it
Thank you so much for your products, which were received within 2 days of my order, with many thanks!
I had been using my face cream sparingly, so it was just lovely to have a full supply again. I felt very decadent after my shower and drifted off to sleep smelling luxurious and feeling absolutely blissful.
Your body butter is so creamy and smells divine. I love it.
Thank you so much!
after using a hair removal cream that was far too harsh for my skin, i was left with some sore abrasions, however, after using agnes and me’s blam blam balm, my skin was completely restored within a couple of days! this stuff works wonders and i would happily recommend it to every man and his dog
I love all the products and use them daily and it would be hard to pick my favourite. The body oil has gone from great to fabulous when I started putting into the bath water. It turns a bath super special and makes my skin feel lovely. The aroma lifts and soothes at the same time. Using it after a quick shower in the morning, gives me a moment of pause and is one step in setting me up for the day. The Agnes and Me body oil is very fast turning into a can’t live without product.
About 4 years ago I’d been lamenting all the chemicals (especially petroleum based) used in skincare products - even the expensive brands - when Deirdre FINALLY (she’d been talking about it for ages) started producing for sale the lovely range she’d been making for personal use for years. I was hooked after the first purchase. The products all smell divine and are made from beautiful natural and where possible, organic ingredients. Every day when I use Agnes and me I know I’ve fed my skin nourishing food and feel ever so slightly indulged. Highly recommend.
Received my Agnes & Me goodies. I'm in love....seriously. The smell alone is amazing. I've been using the balm to clean my face or take makeup off at night....its the best thing ever. Im even using it in the morning because i cant get enough of the smell....my skin feels and looks diff this week. Ive been using only your two products....Love them Deirdre...they really are fab and a godsend xxx
Lovely natural skincare products! The face oil is great and the pink clay mask always leaves my skin feeling really soft and clean - and it smells beautiful.
I've been using the body oil for a little while now, and I love the way it feels. I use it once a day after I shower, and the smell is super refreshing and leaves my skin feeling smooth and hydrated. It also helps prevent ingrown hairs.
The Agnes and Me range is carefully curated hydration and indulgence in a jar!
I have what is best described as "touchy, somewhat maturing skin". I have had to be very careful with the products I put on my face for fear of an outbreak of Peri-Oral Dermatitis, so even being able to convince me to try a new product is hard...but that is indeed what happened about 3 years ago now and I am so glad I did!
Of course talking to Deirdre about her products you cannot but be swept away with her knowledge, passion and downright honesty about what she has learned about skincare since turning her passion into a business.
Her facecream is just amazing, super hyrdating and smells divine, her clay masks leave your skin feeling clean but not dried out, her face oil I have just added to my routine and the blam blam cream is just the best for anything from make-up removal to dry lips...and the number of people I have sent gifts of her sensational body oil goes on and on!
I can not recommend Agnes and Me and Deirdre highly enough! And added to that she is a beautiful person too! So go on...Support Local! 😊
i woke up at 1am with a very itchy lower arm totally distracting itchy itchy itchy! got up and exposed the limb, found the lump and applied the blam blam and within seconds itch gone and back to sleep!Huge thanks for a sleepful night
Discovered Agnes & Me at our local market a couple of years ago, haven't used any other face cream since! The mask is my Sunday night ritual and the Blam blam balm has so many uses from the top of my head to the tips of my toes! Deirdre is knowledgeable, and helpful and getting my products is never an issue.
