Brand Story

In the radiant embrace of Aotearoa's sun, where the golden sands kiss the boundless blue, there emerges a vision, a dream woven from the fabric of the New Zealand shores – Sandaway. Born amidst the symphony of waves and the laughter of beachgoers, Sandaway carves a niche in the realms of surf and skincare, introducing New Zealand's pioneering sand repellent. Behind Sandaway is a quartet of spirited teenage girls from Pukekohe High School, each bringing a piece of their heart, a shared understanding of the beach's less talked about battles. Our journey begins with personal skirmishes against the clingy grains of sand, the hidden irritants that mar the perfect beach day, and the invasion of our cherished belongings by unwelcome sandy guests. Sandaway is more than just a product. It is crafted for the sun chasers, the ocean lovers, and the guardians of sandy playgrounds. Our creation is a testament to teenage ingenuity, a solution forged from the fires of frustration and the desire for seamless beach days. As the creators of Sandaway, we invite you to join a movement, a collective step towards transforming every grainy encounter into a smooth memory. Say goodbye to the days of sandy bags and gritty towels. Embrace the protection offered by Sandaway, where each application repels sand and shields your skin. Discover the joy of uncomplicated beach days. Everyone loves the Sandaway experience – join us and see why.
