Tui Balms

Golden Bay, New Zealand

Tui Balms began in 1984, when English beekeeper Colin Iles gifted his natural multi-purpose balm recipe to the Tui Community in Golden Bay, New Zealand. Made by hand in its early years, the range grew with input from massage therapists and naturopaths into a trusted collection of massage and body balms.

Today, Tui Balms operates as a worker-owned co-operative and not-for-profit, providing local employment and donating profits to registered charities. More than 40 years on, it remains a staple among massage therapists, practitioners and households across New Zealand and Australia.
