Kawakawa Balm is famous for use in eczema care
Many people use our all natural Kawakawa Balm for eczema care - but there's a lot more this little beauty can do!
Our Kawakawa Balm is NZ Made, 100% natural, and jam packed with "mystical" actives like the amazing pain-blocker myrsticin (really!), antiseptic eugenol, antioxidant lignins, and skin nourishing minerals and vitamins. That means our Kawakawa Balm gets put to a lot more uses than just being used for care of eczema prone skin.
Let us list the ways you can use your Kawakawa Balm...
See how many of these you have used Kawakawa Balm for, and let us know if we missed any in the comments below!
The obvious - Kawakawa Balm for eczema care (and dermatitis, psoriasis)
By keeping the skin moisturised with a rich barrier full of healing actives, Kawakawa Balm helps protect the skin of many adults and children with eczema. The water free, filler free, chemical free formula of Frankie's Kawakawa Balm means it is more effective and less irritating than many mainstream eczema creams. Meanwhile, that mystical myrsticin is blocking pain signals and reducing the urge to scratch eczema damaged skin - a really big factor in eczema healing, as scratching damages the skin and increases the risk of infection.
The waste free Kawakawa Cleansing Bars & Shampoo Bars contain anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory, skin healing and alkaline chlorophyll, which helps fight skin inflammation and infections. Chlorophyll is included as an active known for soothing skin irritation from eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis or sensitive skin.
Our Eczema Care Pack combines Kawakawa Balm, Colloidal Oat Bath Soak and Kawakawa Body Oil for a complete eczema care and skin soothing solution.
Natural, organic baby care
Mamas across New Zealand have used our Kawakawa Balm on their babies for eczema care and daily skin care since 2017.
Use our natural Kawakawa Balm as an effective natural nappy barrier, cradle cap cream that softens build up and cares for skin, and as a nipple cream. You can also apply Kawakawa Body Oil as a natural after bath intensive moisturiser.
Intensive Night Moisturiser
Our Kawakawa Balm is bursting with antioxidants and lignins, so as well as being richly moisturising, it delivers your skin an impressive boost of anti-aging skin care actives. This is a great option if your skin is vulnerable to eczema as you'll be providing an effective natural skin barrier to help eczema prevent flare ups as well as nourishing your skin.
Hot tip: The incredible chlorophyll in our cleansing bars is known to have natural anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial and skin healing properties.
Lip gloss, brow and lash serum
The vitamins and minerals in our Kawakawa Balm give your lashes and brows an nourishing dose of natural goodness to help prevent dryness and breakages, and promote glossy health.
Scratches, grazes, dry and damaged skin
Mother's little helper, Kawakawa Balm soothes and protects damaged, grazed, dry and scratched skin during healing, and the pain blocker myrsticin can help little people feel better.
Sunburn and burns
By moisturising and nourishing sun damaged and singed skin, Kawakawa Balm can is used by many of our customers to ease discomfort (thank you myrsticin), and facilitate faster skin repair with the lignins and antioxidant actives.
Insect bites, stings - and insect repellent!
Pain-blocker myrsticin can reduce the sting of insect bites and Kawakawa Balm's anti-inflammatory properties will soothe swollen skin - but Kawakawa is also a natural insect repellent and has been used by Māori for many generations to prevent insect bites!
Pet care
Inflamed puppy dog noses, wounded pony legs, sunburnt pussy cat ears - Frankie clients share the love of Kawakawa with the creatures in their families too! Knowing that the Kawakawa Balm is natural gives animal lovers peace of mind when taking care of their pets.

Hi there, interested to know about this product for after care of a new tattoo? Cheers
Hi Is kawakawa balm effective against fungus ? Especially toenail fungus .
I get dermatitis that leads to flaky skin and very painful splits on my heels and I use Frankie Apothecary Kawakawa balm as a foot moisturiser to keep my skin soft and moisturised, to heal it and it also takes away the pain.
Next i will purchase some kawakawa oil to put in my foot soaks as my GP recommended adding a natural oil.

Hi Maria, thanks for your message. Kawakawa has so many uses for health and wellbeing. When it comes to miri miri/massage our Kawakawa oil is a good option as it is lighter than the balm while still having the wonderful Kawakawa active ingredients. We have a blog and a review of the oil for massage by a professional massage therapist which I will try to share here: https://frankieapothecary.com/blogs/news/intuitive-hands-massage-therapist-reviews-our-kawakawa-body-oil-1?pos=1&_sid=1fa246b44&ss=r
