Kawakawa

Kawakawa is revered among Mäori as being super healing and restorative. We pick the Kawakawa leaves from our land on Aotea. Our Kawakawa extract is 100% natural and made by steeping the leaves for one week in sweet almond oil.

Mãnuka

Like our other inputs, our Manuka oil is extracted onsite at our farm. The oil is used extensively in our range exhibiting anti-microbial and healing qualities. We also use Mãnuka hydrosol which is a by-product of our distillation process that closes pores in the skin and is incredibly restorative.

Uses

• Lips: Our balm works to strengthen the skin while restoring hydration and providing intense nourishment as it calms and restores balance upon application.
• Skincare and Acne: The most abundant compound found in Kawakawa is pellitorine. Pellitorine has a key role in aiding the chemical pathways in the body that reduce inflammation. Kawakawa is perfect to help balance your skin from red, chapped, itchy to hydrated and glowing. Molecules known as lignans, act as powerful antioxidants to boost healthy skin cell growth and repair damaged skin cells. Manuka oil can help with acne-prone skin as it contains both anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties, to clean and heal affected areas. 
• Eczema and Dermatitis: Kawakawa contains myristicin, an active compound that stimulates human cells to release nitric oxide to help fight inflammation. A wonder for the skin, Kawakawa’s high concentration of Linoleic acid also aids in promoting collagen production and improving the skin's elasticity. Combined with our barrier-supporting manuka oil and beeswax our balm is proven to aid in the relief of Eczema and Dermatitis. 
• Psoriasis and Rheumatism: Kawakawa contains an incredible bio-active called Diayangambin. Diayangambin has been proven in vitro and in vivo to exert immunosuppressive and anti-inflammatory effects. This means in some cases it can help in the treatment of autoimmune disorders. Two common autoimmune disorders that Kawakawa has been proven to treat in some cases are types of rheumatism and psoriasis. 

Directions

Apply Kawakawa Balm 2-3 times a day to irritated skin and then daily as the skin begins to heal. For dry/chapped skin and lips, apply a pea-sized amount as needed throughout the day.
