Testimonials

Thank you for this amazing product that has helped my baby’s skin. He had a massive breakout in rashes and despite many doctors visits, antibiotics and creams nothing seemed to help him. We started using the Kawakawa balm and very slowly started seeing results.

I used the Kawakawa balm on my newborns cradle cap and dry skin and it has cleared up so well. I noticed an improvement after a day and after a week it has almost completely gone!

Sophie.D

I burnt my hand in the oven quite badly - I rubbed this balm on my hand twice a day for two weeks or more and my burn did not hurt once (not even under hot water in the shower). Now it is happily healed. Amazing!! Kawakawa is for anything. Thank you!

I make this Rongoā tonic for my children and I every winter, and they have not suffered with a cold since I began. Both Kawakawa (Macro Piper excelsum) and Kūmarahou (Pomaderris kumeraho) have been used by Maori for generations to treat coughs and colds. I'd like to share this recipe with you!

Kawakawa chlorophyll – Nature’s super skin healer!

We know chlorophyll as ‘what makes plants green’ – but that’s really just a by-effect of the incredible healing substance that flows through plants. Chlorophyll helps heal cuts, scrapes and skin inflammation. It delivers antioxidant actives for improved skin health, appearance, and antibacterial properties which work to prevent acne, scarring and skin infections!
