RAESO - Golden Nectar Enzyme Cleanser

​RAESO (formerly RAAIE) is a proudly New Zealand brand, now sold and loved globally.

CIRCADIAN SKIN SCIENCE

Built on Circadian Skin Science™, RAESO is founded on a simple yet overlooked truth: skin is not static, it operates on a 24-hour rhythm​, its priorities shift​ing throughout the day. When skincare works in sync with this cycle, results accelerate, resilience strengthens, and skin performs at its highest potential.​

Your bod​y's circadian rhythm tells your skin when to protect, when to repair and when to regenerate. Key skin functions such such as barrier function, cell proliferation, DNA repair, collagen synthesis, hydration barrier function, immune responses, and inflammation all fluctuate based on the time of day​, so different ingredients can have higher efficacy at different times of day​. By aligning ingredients with these natural cycles, skincare becomes more intuitive, more effective, and less complicated.

Smarter timing. Fewer products. Better results.

​INGREDIENTS

RAESO pairs encapsulated actives with refined slow-release systems, allowing each formula to evolve with precision. Performance extends beyond application, unfolding gradually, deliberately, in rhythm with skin. Time intelligent ingredients are combined with bio-adaptive New Zealand botanicals, shaped by some of the world’s most unforgiving UV landscapes, bring an innate resilience. Time-responsive by design, RAESO delivers exactly what skin needs, precisely when it needs it.

ANCIENT WISDOM MEETS CUTTING-EDGE BIOTECHNOLOGIES

By uniting nature’s most resilient plants with modern skin science, RAESO creates high-performance formulas designed to thrive in even the most extreme environments.

RAESO prioritise hand-harvesting and sustainable practices, ensuring every ingredient is sourced with respect for the environment.

Through biofermentation, nutrients become more bioavailable, allowing skin to absorb and use them more effectively. Cold-extraction preserves heat-sensitive vitamins and minerals, protecting their potency. The result is enhanced nutrient levels and visibly brighter, smoother, more luminous skin.

Formulated with over 90% naturally derived ingredients, elevated through advanced biotechnology and biomimetic science, RAESO supports skin rather than overwhelming it, helping it function at its best.

SUSTAINABILITY

Sustainability underpins every aspect of RAESO, from sourcing and formulation to packaging and production. RAESO work exclusively with responsibly produced bioactives chosen for their low environmental impact and natural ability to regenerate. In Aotearoa New Zealand, marine algae is harvested according to Tikanga Māori - an indigenous practice rooted in care, respect and balance.

The signature pebble vessels, crafted from 20% recycled glass, are fully refillable and designed to be kept - every RAESO formula will be supported by a refill option by June 2026. In a fast-moving industry, RAESO favours intention over excess.

A simplified protect-by-day, repair-by-night system delivers what skin needs, nothing more. The focus is longevity: of skin, of resources, and of the environments that sustain us.

RAESO FOUNDER

After two decades in global beauty, returning home to Aotearoa New Zealand shifted Katey Mandy’s perspective.

Raised between Auckland and her family’s rewilding farm near Whangārei, she grew up surrounded by native plants shaped by some of the world’s most intense UV conditions. Their resilience - rich in protective antioxidants - became the foundation of her work.

But over years of product formulation and collaboration with leading scientists, another truth emerged: when you apply skincare is as important as what you apply.
