Kawakawa Balm

New Zealand's Ancient Healing Secret

For centuries, Māori have treasured Kawakawa as one of nature's most powerful healing plants. Our Kawakawa Balm brings this ancient wisdom into your home, offering gentle yet effective relief for eczema, rashes, dry skin, and sensitive skin conditions. Safe enough for babies, powerful enough for the toughest skin challenges—this is natural healing at its finest.

A Journey from Australia to Aotearoa

When I moved from Australia to New Zealand and settled in Rotorua, I had no idea how profoundly this land would change my approach to healing. I've been blessed with the opportunity to learn from Māori medicine traditions—teachings passed down through generations about the healing power of native plants. Kawakawa, in particular, captured my heart. Watching how this humble plant could soothe the most troubled skin, I knew I had to share its gifts.

In our small Rotorua studio, I craft each batch of Kawakawa Balm by hand, honoring the knowledge that's been so generously shared with me. This isn't just about making skincare—it's about respecting and preserving traditional healing wisdom while making it accessible to families who need it. Every jar represents a bridge between ancient Māori medicine and modern artisan craftsmanship, created with deep gratitude for the teachings I've received.

The Kawakawa Difference

What makes Kawakawa so special? This native New Zealand plant contains unique compounds that work synergistically to calm inflammation, fight bacteria, and accelerate skin repair. Unlike harsh steroid creams, Kawakawa works with your skin's natural healing processes, making it safe for long-term use and suitable for the whole family.

How to Use

Apply a thin layer to affected areas 2-3 times daily, or as needed. For eczema flare-ups, use consistently until skin calms, then maintain with regular applications. Safe for face and body, babies to adults. For best results, apply to slightly damp skin after bathing to lock in moisture.

Perfect For

Families with young children, anyone with eczema or psoriasis, those with sensitive or reactive skin, parents seeking natural alternatives to steroid creams, or anyone who values traditional plant medicine backed by generations of use.

Handcrafted with respect and gratitude in Rotorua, New Zealand—where my journey from Australia led me to the healing wisdom of Māori medicine.
