She does not ask for applause
only sun and a little rain.
Still, the wild Flùr opens
as if the world depended on it.

Welcome to Flùr – where scent, story, and sanctuary meet.
I'm Kathryn, founder of Flùr Oils & Balms.
Flùr began in 2020, shortly after I moved into a cottage nestled in Northland, surrounded by a wild, spray-free flower garden that seemed to hum with possibility.
As a curious researcher (and a bit of a botanical enthusiast), I started exploring the healing properties of the plants growing right outside my door. What I discovered was remarkable: many of these backyard botanicals were not only beautiful, but also deeply beneficial for skin.
My first creations were balms and oils, and let's just say the Lavender & Kawakawa Balm earned its stripes early. When a hornet sting vanished into a pain-free memory moments after applying it, I knew I was onto something good.
I'd also read that up to 65% of what we put on our skin can end up in our bloodstream. That fact stuck with me. I wanted skincare that was as natural as possible. No mystery ingredients, just pure plant oils doing what they do best.
While tending the garden, I noticed how vital the bees, butterflies and insects were to its health. That's when the idea took root. I decided to set aside a portion of every Flùr sale to one day create a wild bee and pollinator sanctuary. It was a dream that quietly stayed with me.
Over the years, that idea continued to grow. I found myself wondering how many spray-free spaces already existed across New Zealand, and how many more could be created if we celebrated them. After mulling it over for quite some time, I decided to simply give it a go.
That's how Flùr Star Sanctuaries began, a community-led movement creating and celebrating spray-free spaces for pollinators across Aotearoa New Zealand.
From backyard gardens and schools to businesses and larger properties, the goal is simple: to encourage small actions that help pollinators, biodiversity, and future generations thrive, while having a little fun and being part of something bigger along the way.
In 2023, after my mother, Josephine Woods, a teacher, poet, and storyteller, passed away, I wanted to honour her legacy. So, I added poetry to the Flùr experience. Each product now comes with a swing tag that doubles as a bookmark, printed with a poem and a gentle ritual. It's a small literary keepsake, a tribute to her love of words, and a sweet companion to our oils.
Today, Flùr continues to create botanical oils and balms inspired by nature, while helping support the Flùr Star Sanctuary movement.
Thank you for being here.
Whether you've discovered us through our products or through Flùr Star Sanctuaries, I'm delighted you've found your way here. I hope you'll join us as we care for both skin and the small pollinators that help our world bloom.
Welcome to Flùr.
Every garden can be a sanctuary. Every person can help a pollinator.
