About Banksia & Kōwhai


Welcome to Banksia & Kōwhai — a cosy corner of the internet for low-tox, sustainable living inspired by the natural beauty of Western Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand.

I’m Cass, a pharmacist, and passionate advocate for health, simplicity and sustainability. After years of researching ingredients and making swaps in my own home, I created Banksia & Kōwhai to help others feel empowered (not overwhelmed) by the shift to a cleaner lifestyle.

What began as a personal journey toward a gentler home has grown into a trusted space for others who want to live well — without harsh chemicals, plastic overload, or overwhelm.

Here, you’ll find practical tools for creating a home that supports your health and treads lightly on the earth. 

Whether you’re just getting started or well along your journey towards the low-tox lifestyle, I hope Banksia & Kōwhai feels like a safe and supportive space to explore, learn and grow.

Kind to you. Kind to the earth. Welcome home.
