The Skin Benefits of Kawakawa

Why do we make Kawakawa Balm?

Easy, it has so many benefits for your skin we just had to!!!

Kawakawa, a plant native to New Zealand, offers numerous benefits for the skin, including soothing irritated skin, promoting healing, and combating infections. It's used in various forms, such as balms, oils, and lotions, to address a range of skin concerns. 

Here's a more detailed look at the benefits:

• Soothing and Anti-inflammatory:

  Kawakawa's natural anti-inflammatory properties make it effective for calming irritated skin, redness, and itchiness caused by eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis, and other skin conditions. 

• Healing and Repair:

  Kawakawa supports skin healing by helping to close wounds, reduce inflammation, and protect the skin from further irritation. 

• Moisture and Hydration:

  Kawakawa balms and oils can help hydrate and seal in moisture, leaving skin feeling soft and supple. 

• Antimicrobial and Antibacterial:

  Kawakawa's natural antiseptic properties help cleanse and heal the skin, preventing and combating bacterial and fungal infections. 

• Pain Relief:

  Kawakawa can be used to alleviate pain, especially in areas with cuts, grazes, or insect bites. 

• Eczema and Psoriasis:

  Kawakawa balm and oil are often used to manage eczema and psoriasis symptoms, helping to calm irritated skin, reduce inflammation, and alleviate itchiness. 

• Other Skin Conditions:

  Kawakawa can be helpful for a variety of other skin conditions, such as nappy rash, sunburn, and dry, cracked skin. 

Kowhai Kare creates 2 versions of our very popular Kawakawa Balm - one with Tea Tree Essential Oil and another that is Essential Oil free. Our balms are made from our own garden grown Kawakawa and from locally wild foraged Kawakawa.

We employ sustainable practices to ensure the longevity of the Kawakawa plants.
