It started with a mother looking for something better.
A small family shop built on one simple idea: every product on the shelf should be good enough for our own children.
From a kitchen cupboard to a corner store.
When our founder Halima couldn't find black seed oil she trusted for her family, she started importing it herself, the way her own mother bought it back home: cold-pressed, fresh and pure.
Friends asked for a bottle. Then neighbours. Soon the kitchen cupboard became a market stall, and the market stall became The Mothershop on Main Street.
Today we carry over 200 natural products, from Manuka honey and krill oil to herbal cleanses and clean proteins, and we still choose every one with the same care.
— Halima & the Mothershop family
Growing, one family at a time

What makes it to our shelves, and what never will.
Tested, not trusted blindly
We require third-party certificates of analysis for purity, potency and heavy metals before a product is listed.
Clean labels only
No artificial colours, unnecessary fillers or mystery "proprietary blends". You'll always know what you're taking.
Ethically sourced
We work with small producers and certified suppliers, from New Zealand beekeepers to Mediterranean oregano farmers.
