Big Moves, Bold Flavours & B Corp News – March Milestones

04.03.2025

March was all about growth and new beginnings for us at Two Islands. We strengthened our commitment to sustainability, introduced you to a fresh new flavour, and took a major step into a new market. It’s been a milestone month, so here’s a look back at what we’ve been up to.

Celebrating B Corp month

 

We were honoured to be featured alongside fellow B Corps for B Corp month in this piece on the power of B Corp certification - especially when exporting. As the business landscape shifts, it's clear that sustainability isn’t just a nice-to-have, it’s an expectation.

We’re continuously striving to do better, and we’re so proud to be a part of a community raising the bar for better business. For more insights from across the B Corp community, read the full article here. 

 

Two Islands Enters the Chinese Market

 

We’re thrilled to announce our long-term strategic partnership with Sibote Biotech Group (SBT), a leading Chinese company specialising in dietary nutrition. This collaboration marks a major step forward for Two Islands, bringing our high-quality, natural products to the dynamic and fast-growing Chinese market.

This partnership has been 14 months in the making and represents a key milestone in fulfilling our founder Julia’s vision of expanding into China since the inception of Two Islands.

"From day one, I’ve wanted to take Two Islands beyond New Zealand and share what we do with the world. Partnering with SBT gives us the opportunity to bring our range to China while also co-developing new products tailored for Chinese consumers. It’s a huge step, and I can’t wait to see where this journey takes us." – Julia Matthews, Two Islands Founder.

SBT will focus on e-commerce and live streaming channels, leveraging their expertise to position Two Islands as a trusted name in health and wellness. With an emphasis on safety, natural ingredients, and innovation, we’ll not only introduce our existing products but also work together to develop targeted formulations. We’re just getting started, but the potential is huge, and we’re excited for what’s to come! Read more about our global journey here.

 

A Fresh Twist on Hydration: Meet Passionfruit Mango Salt

 

Our latest supplement, Electrolyte⁴ has been a hit within the Two Islands community. What many people don’t realise is that even with a balanced diet and plenty of water, you still may be missing out on key electrolytes for deep hydration. Featuring a comprehensive blend of four essential electrolytes in high doses for maximum efficacy, Electrolyte⁴ is designed for anyone wanting to stay hydrated and energised for optimal performance and recovery.

With two delicious flavours in tow, Pineapple Salt and Raspberry Lemonade Salt, we were excited to introduce you to a brand-new fan favourite: Passionfruit Mango Salt. This tropical twist brings the perfect balance of sweet and tangy, making staying hydrated even more refreshing. If you haven’t tried it yet, now’s the time!

 

Our latest Island Icon: Amy Fraser

 

Last year, we launched Island Icons—a series celebrating trailblazing women. Our latest icon, Amy, is redefining the game. As the founder of OKReal and Diem, the first AI product trained on women’s conversations, she juggles life and business as a single mother between New Zealand and New York. Watch the full interview for insights on what NZ can learn from NYC, the power of community, myths of feminism, and the lessons that shaped her journey. 

Stay tuned for more updates, the rest of the year is shaping up to be a good one.
