Giving Back with Bestow

At Bestow, we believe true beauty is rooted in care — for ourselves, each other, and the world around us. Through The Bestow Sisterhood and our partnership with the Ōtanewainuku Kiwi Trust, we’re proud to give back in ways that nurture both people and planet.

The Bestow Sisterhood is a collective of skincare clinics and therapists across Aotearoa, united by the mission to create a brighter future for young girls in rural Cambodia.

Born from a deep sense of compassion and sisterhood, the movement was founded by Janine Tait and Robyn Fairweather of Bestow Beauty, alongside Denise Arnold of the Cambodia Charitable Trust. Together, we believe that every woman is our sister — whether she lives down the street or across the world.

By sponsoring the education of Cambodian girls, we’re helping lift entire communities out of poverty and creating opportunities where there were once none. When women come together, powerful change happens — and the Sisterhood is living proof of that.

Our hearts are also with the whenua — the land and the creatures that make Aotearoa so special. That’s why we’re honoured to support the Ōtanewainuku Kiwi Trust (ŌKT), a passionate, community-led conservation group working to protect the endangered North Island brown kiwi and restore the native Ōtanewainuku Forest near Tauranga.

This rare, virgin forest is home to over 300 indigenous plant species, as well as taonga species like kōkako and native bats. Through pest management, habitat restoration, and tireless community effort, ŌKT is helping our native species survive and thrive.

Through every purchase of Bestow The Graces skincare, we contribute directly to the mahi of the Ōtanewainuku Kiwi Trust. A portion of each sale supports vital conservation work — including monitoring and protecting kiwi populations, maintaining extensive traplines to manage predators, restoring native forest habitats, and engaging local communities and schools in hands-on conservation efforts.

When you choose The Graces, you’re not only nourishing your skin — you’re helping to safeguard the future of our native species and preserve a precious part of Aotearoa for generations to come.
