Every year, we celebrate the women who nurtured us, guided us, and loved us unconditionally - our mothers. Mother’s Day is more than just flowers and cards; it’s a moment to reflect on their strength, wisdom, and the timeless bond we share.
At NZ Naturally, we believe that just like mums, nature knows best, especially when it comes to care and nourishment. That’s why our Pure NZ Lanolin is a perfect tribute to the power of natural, lasting love.
Mother’s Day Trivia You Probably Didn’t Know
🌷 Mother’s Day was inspired by a peace movement
It wasn’t originally about brunches and bouquets. The modern Mother’s Day in the U.S. was founded by Anna Jarvis in 1908 - but her mother had previously organized Mother’s Friendship Day to promote peace after the Civil War.
🌍 It’s celebrated at different times around the world
While New Zealand and many countries observe it on the second Sunday of May, others like the UK celebrate it in March, and Thailand honors mothers in August on the Queen's birthday.
📨 It’s one of the most card-giving holidays of the year
After Christmas, Mother’s Day is the second highest holiday for sending greeting cards. It’s estimated that over 113 million cards are exchanged globally each year!
👩👧 The average mum does it all
Studies show that mums work the equivalent of 2.5 full-time jobs - from meal prep and school runs to emotional support and everything in between. It's no wonder they deserve a day of celebration (or several)!
🌿 Natural skincare has always had a ‘mum’s touch’
Long before store-bought creams, mothers relied on nature to care for their families’ skin - soothing dry hands, healing cracked skin, and nurturing sensitive baby skin with traditional remedies like lanolin.
Celebrating Mum with NZ Naturally Pure NZ Lanolin
Our EP Grade Pure Lanolin is a nod to that timeless, nurturing tradition. Harvested from the wool of New Zealand sheep, it's 100% natural, deeply moisturizing, and safe for mums and babies alike. Whether it’s helping soothe tired hands, treating dry lips, or acting as a gentle baby balm, lanolin has been a quiet hero in homes for generations.
This Mother’s Day, give Mum something meaningful - something that cares for her the way she’s always cared for you.
Gift Idea:
✨ Pair a jar of Pure NZ Lanolin with a handwritten note recalling a moment you’ll never forget with your mum. It’s the little things that go the longest way.
As we honor mums everywhere, let’s remember the beauty of nature and tradition. This Mother’s Day, celebrate the woman who’s always been there - with love, gratitude, and a touch of Pure New Zealand care.
