Traditional Skin Balm - Kawakawa & Hemp

Traditional Skin Balm — Kawakawa & Hemp

Handmade in New Zealand. Skin. Inspired by Nature.

Fragrance free • Preservative free • Suitable for the whole family

An intensive, concentrated balm crafted to repair and fortify compromised skin. Rich botanical oils melt on contact to create a durable protective shield, locking in moisture and calming irritation — without fragrance or essential oils.

Made with kawakawa leaves slowly infused in sunflower oil and organic cold-pressed hemp seed oil, combined with coconut oil and beeswax, this botanical balm helps calm the look of redness and irritation, support the skin’s natural barrier, and lock in moisture where skin needs it most.

Hemp Seed Oil is an increasingly popular ingredient in natural skincare, prised for its rich profile of essential fatty acids (omega-3 and omega-6) that help nourish and condition the skin. Its natural anti-inflammatory properties make it well-suited to supporting skin affected by dryness, redness, or sensitivity — without clogging pores.

Kawakawa (Piper excelsum) is a taonga plant native to Aotearoa New Zealand, long used in traditional Māori rākau māori (plant medicine). Kawakawa leaves were traditionally applied topically to help soothe bruises, rheumatism, dry and irritated skin, and minor cuts. In skincare, kawakawa is valued for its naturally occurring compounds that support skin comfort and recovery.
