Melissa Parker Bentley - Founder of Spire NZ

Dunedin, New Zealand

(Mum, Traveller, Business Owner, Chartered Accountant and Environmental Cheerleader)

At Spire NZ we love to look and feel clean and want the same for our environment.

My name is Melissa, I am passionate about travelling, skincare and the environment.

I’ve combined these three passions to produce a whole-body cleansing bar.

The bars smell delicious, look great, but best of all are plastic free and made from biodegradable ingredients.

Spire NZ produces gorgeous solid cosmetics that are good for your skin and the environment. They are made from ethically sourced, plant based ingredients.

We want to give our customers the option of providing a plastic free range of toiletries to their guests.

Only 9% of all plastic waste ever produced has been recycled. About 12% has been incinerated, while the rest — 79% — has accumulated in landfills, dumps or the natural environment.

We want to be part of the solution.
