The meaning of Toi Toi

Toi Toi : to encourage, inspire or motivate (Maori)

Toi Toi Toi:  to ward off bad luck, like 'break a leg' or 'touch wood' (English and German)

Toi: one of the meanings of 'you' (French)
 

We are a NZ owned family business and are the growers and creators of the natural loofah products featured on the Toi Toi website. Although Toi Toi Body Care is fairly new (April 2019), we have been working on research and development for over the past six years. Growing loofah (luffa) on a commercial scale in the NZ climate is challenging but we choose to do this for two reasons:

  1. So we can guarantee our customers the most natural and purest products.
  2. So we can do our part to rid NZ of the cheap plastic imitation products such as the plastic loofahs (shower poufs) and the green plastic pot scourers
I am passionate about not using palm oil in any of the products we create and have chosen a minimal packaging approach, what little packaging we have is biodegradable and able to be composted at home. The other brands we stock such as Mia Belle also follow the same ethos and we are pleased to be able to offer these wonderful products to our customers.
