The culmination of a life long dream to create a truly beautiful-yet-accessible lifestyle brand, MARACA was born in 2013 in Auckland, New Zealand. At its helm is Malaysian-born Chris Lim, who sees the key touchstones of the brand as being: luxury, quality and style, with a firm emphasis on harnessing nature’s most effective ingredients. Sold internationally but made exclusively in New Zealand, the MARACA collection includes bodycare products as well as home fragrance lines divided by scent, story and inspiration. Each of the collection’s signature scents are designed by nose Chris and formulated in France, whilst the range’s candles are individually hand-poured in New Zealand using natural plant waxes for better fragrance throw and a truly decadent feel. The body care collection is luxurious in both feel and fragrance, whilst all natural ingredients ensure that your skin is nourished from the outside in with carefully chosen formulas and the best that the earth has to offer. It goes without saying that MARACA does not support animal testing of any kind, and all of the products in the collection are refreshingly paraben, sodium lauryl sulphate, petrochemical and paraffin free. Inspired by culture and fashion rather than merely trends in beauty and bodycare, MARACA has been designed to stand on its own against international brands of the same ilk but with a totally boutique approach. Chris and his team like to keep in touch with fans of the brand and track their needs and wants, so MARACA is always developing new scents and innovative product lines that are unique and always tempting and challenging the savvy consumer.
