The healing properties of the kawakawa plant
Kawakawa, a native New Zealand shrub, has been used for generations by Māori and early settlers for its powerful medicinal qualities. Known for its anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antioxidant properties, kawakawa helps soothe swollen skin, joints, and tissues, providing comfort and relief. This versatile plant not only nurtures the skin but also connects you to a time-honored tradition of healing from nature.
Locally handmade
Each product is handcrafted by Carol in the serene Marlborough Sounds, with a focus on quality and sourcing as much locally as possible. Her approach stems from traditional methods, blending Kawakawa with beeswax and other natural ingredients to create products that nurture and protect the skin. Carol’s careful selection ensures every batch reflects the essence of New Zealand.
