About Gecko Creationz

Hi, I'm Kendal, the founder of Gecko Creationz.

For years, my young children and I struggled with persistent skin rashes. I felt stuck in a frustrating cycle, trying countless products that promised relief but were filled with ingredients I couldn't even pronounce. Nothing worked.

My perspective on skincare changed completely when I discovered the incredible, healing benefits of traditionally rendered tallow. It was the simple, natural solution for which I had been searching.  Tallow is an ingredient our skin instinctively recognizes and loves and for this reason we use it as the main building block of our soaps and balms.  What began as a personal remedy for my family soon grew into a passion for helping others.

This breakthrough gave me the courage to bring a lifelong dream to life. Growing up in South Africa, I loved watching the geckos darting around.  I moved to New Zealand when I was 10 years old, and geckos have felt like a memory of 'home'. I always dreamt of one day starting a brand called 'Gecko Creationz,' thereby combining my love for New Zealand and my South African heritage. I feel very blessed that this dream is now a reality.

From my workshop here in sunny Marlborough, New Zealand, I handcraft every product. My commitment to transparency starts with the ingredients. I source our grass-fed beef tallow from our trusted local butcher before hand-rendering each batch myself. The tallow is rendered and strained multiple times to ensure a pure product. This tallow is then combined with natural botanicals~no mystery ingredients and no junk.

Gecko Creationz is for people who want honest, effective skincare that works for everyday life. It's the result of a mother's search for a genuine solution, and I can't wait to share it with you.
