Frankie started with the creation of a natural Kawakawa Balm that delivered incredible results for so many people with sensitive, damaged or eczema prone skin. As word spread of how effective our Kawakawa Balm can be, especially within whānau with eczema and sensitive skin, we expanded our range to provide additional gentle natural skin care, facial serums, bath soaks, hair care and more for all the family. We still believe we make the best Kawakawa Balm - right here in New Zealand, Aotearoa.

Our story
Frankie's Kawakawa Repair Balm was developed for a little girl whose severe eczema meant she often woke with her skin raw from scratching through the night. Her desperate Mum formulated our rich Kawakawa Repair Balm and it soothed her skin naturally within a week.
Since then, Kawakawa Repair has helped transform the skin health of thousands of Kiwi families, many of whom had relied on chemical laden over-the-counter and prescribed topicals.
We're Georgina and Matt, the team behind Frankie Apothecary's popular Kawakawa Balm and award-winning face and body range made with New Zealand native Kawakawa.
My journey with natural skincare began after a fertility specialist told me the chemicals in my sunscreen could be disrupting the delicate balance of hormones in my body. I was shocked.
