In late November, we gathered in our hometown of New Plymouth to officially launch arké, a moment that felt both grounding and quietly significant.
Hosted at the Len Lye Gallery, the evening brought together friends, industry peers and members of our local community for an intimate introduction to the arké philosophy. Our R & Co skin specialists offered express facials, allowing attendees to experience the formulas firsthand.

More than a celebration, the evening was an opportunity to share the journey behind arké, how it came to be, what it stands for and why we believe in a calmer, more considered approach to skin health.
Launching in this way, with those closest to us, felt intentional. A starting point rather than a statement. A moment to connect, listen and reflect before opening arké to a wider community across New Zealand and beyond.
We’re grateful to everyone who joined us, and to those who continue to support arké as it begins to find its place in routines and conversations further afield.
This was just the beginning.
