by nature.
Bioactive Totarol™ is a naturally occurring extract that develops in the heartwood of native New Zealand Totara tree (Podocarpus Totara) after approximately 150 years of growth. Podocarpus Totara is a species unique to New Zealand.
This natural phenomenon protects the tree from bacterial attacks and environmental influences, allowing the tree to grow for thousands of years and making it impervious to rot, even after it has fallen. The timber of Totara tree remains resistant to rot even long after the tree has fallen.
Totara tree stands as a powerful
symbol of durability, resilience
and longevity.
A WORLD FIRST
SUPER
INGREDIENT
PATENTED BIOACTIVE TOTAROL™
Derived from the heartwood of native New Zealand Totara
Tree (Podocarpus Totara).
Rooted in history, the
Totara Tree remains a
symbol of cultural legacy
and natural longevity.
With the arrival of European settlers, Totara timber found new uses in constructing houses, fences and railway tracks. Many of these structures still stand in existence today, as testament to Totara’s exceptional durability and natural resistance to rot and decay.
The Indigenous Māori revered the majestic Totara
tree for its enduring strength and long lasting
nature. Its hardwood was traditionally crafted to
create mighty wakas (canoes), whare (houses) and used for medicinal purposes – its smoke was used to soothe skin ailments, while boiled bark was known to help reduce fevers.
