I have been using the balm on my nephew for three weeks now and we love it. We brought the 60ml and we have barely made a dent in the container :) Would 100% recommend and it smells amazing
Bridget T.
We are currently using the Kawakawa repair balm on our 5 month old baby. Out of all the products we’ve tried this is definitely the one that has soothed her itchy skin the most. She had bad patches of eczema on her cheeks and this product has helped to heal her skin.
Haidee M.
Love the Kawakawa Balm. Spreads really nicely and doesn't leave skin feeling too greasy or heavy. Also smells nice! I have been using for my toddler's eczema for the last few weeks and it definitely calms things down and reduces her itchiness a lot more than other ointments I used previously.

For the first two years of our little man's life he had a stubborn eczema spot behind his knee that would not go away. We tried so many different things, even steroid cream after it got infected. We then spotted this when doing our grocery shopping so gave it a try. After two weeks of using, the stubborn spot had fully disappeared.
We now use it on cuts and scrapes, including for Mum and Dad. They heal up so quickly when we use it on them.
Great products. We are now also using the sunblock, so much nicer to apply and great that the jars are not plastic.
Claire M.
This is a wonderfully soothing, healing balm.
Ashra M.
Absolutely love this product. I use it for dry patches, lips, or even a night cream when my skin is feeling parched. My husband has used it to heal scarred skin from mountain biking injury’s. Incredibly versatile and beautiful product that I cannot be without.
Viki M.
A great alternative to steroid creams for a chronic skin condition.
Monique W.

Has been a saviour for my son’s eczema!
Andrea A.
Amazing! Cleared my son's ezcema in just a few days and he now has the softest skin. Impressed at how such a small amount of balm goes a long way too.
sharon o.
Hubby has suddenly developed dermatitis and nothing was soothing or healing his hands until we found Frankie Kawakawa balm. It makes his cracked, super dry and itchy hands feel much better and gives them a chance to heal.
Rose K.
Works well for my baby’s eczema
Sheena M.
This balm came highly recommended by a friend who had great results clearing up her acne. The scent is delicious. I used it on a nasty insect bite on my calf. All cleared up in next to no time. Great for the first aid kit or makeup bag. Love it!
Veronika D.
Amazing cream! My son suffers with bad eczema and his skin improved rapidly after using this cream. I am just going to buy more!
Jade L.
I was recommended kawakawa balm and it is definitely a holy grail! When I get sunburnt I apply the balm before bed and my sunburn is gone when I wake up the following day. In love with the kawakawa products at Frankie❤️
Wendy M.
I bought the Kawkawa for my son in law who suffers from eczema. However, I have had a chance to give it to him since I bought it. I have used it on the odd spot of eczema that I have and it seems to be very soothing.
Jill D.
I used the balm on my grandson's nappy rash and it was cleared up within a day!! Brilliant product

Catherine M.
I spilled hot fat up the inside of my arm (very tender skin there), rubbed the Kawakawa repair balm all over it and within 20 minutes or so the pain went away. Next morning my husband asked how my arm was and I was absolutely delighted to reply “oh, I forgot all about it”. Couldn’t believe how effective it was. We also use it for our dermatitis...would not be without it now.
Michelle R.
This is our go-to balm for every kind of sore, scratch or rash. We couldn't live without it now!

This is a great product all around for my family. We love the fact that it contains so many natural ingredients and gives us the best results within a day. We are so glad to have found this product especially during the time when my son had really bad eczema.
Glenys B.
I use this balm for an unusual reason - dry nasal passages resulting from a dry eye condition. I put the balm around the inner edge of my nostrils and it offers welcome relief. If anyone out there has ever had dry eyes and dry nose you'll know what I mean. Thank you for this product.
Alex M.
This balm is really good for my hands as I get eczema. It's been the most effective product I've found.
Chantelle L.
This has been an absolute life saver for my babies ezcema! Its the one cream that actually helps him during his flare ups! Amazing!
Ji Young K.
Like the product but the plastic lid breaks easily. My baby girl likes to drop the pot so the lid has been suffering otherwise good product. Has a particular smell which might not be likeable by all.
Edith K.
Very good product for eczema prone skin

Monique M.
Tried this kawakawa cream for my eczema and I was truly amazed by its wonders in just over a day of applying this over the affected area. I am so pleased I have bought this cream and will definitely recommend to anyone with eczema or other similar skin condition. Will absolutely buy another one when my stock would ran out :)
Renae F.
Works wonders on my kids
Dominique S.
This is the best product for my toddlers excema! We have tried a lot but this really helps, takes the redness out and helps heal. We lather it on her every night! I love that it’s a natural product too, and in glass not plastic!
Danbee P.
Best lip balm and my eczema hand cream, lotion and all. I use it everywhere and feel safe to give kisses to my baby nephew who also had allergy and mild eczema. It is safe to rub generously on post-covid washing hand. I dap a bit on my cracked fingers and rub all over my upper fingers which the most dry part of my body. Thank you.
D.
Soothed my skin damage from radiation treatment. Thank you for the Kawakawa Balm which has definitely soothed my eczema in the first day. I am very grateful to have something which makes my skin feel less on fire.
Rachel M.
This balm is my first aid in a jar!! Seriously it just repairs and soothes everything..
We have used it for ecszema, dry skin, scars after surgery, dry lips, put it on itchy bites, rashes,,
There is a jar in both bathrooms and the mini pot stays in my handbag! Love, love, love it!

Nicole L.
This balm has quickly become a very firm favourite in our household; a magic healing touch to treat eczema and dry skin patches, and the perfect soothing answer to the ferocious bites inflicted by West Coast’s black flies (when nothing else seemed to work!).
Natalia Y.
Frankie Kawakawa Repair balm is the only thing that helps my baby girls eczema! We adore this product and are so grateful for the balm, it has changed her life. We have multiple jars in stock because we never want to be without it!

I have been using the Kawakawa Repair Balm as a night cream (a tip I got from another review) for a couple of months now and have had none of my usual blemishes, my skin has never looked better
Andrea S.
A truly incredible product! Have been using for a while on my daughters eczema and it has softened her skin so much!
Katie U.
My skin feels so smooth and hydrated after application plus it helps with the occasional pimple
Samantha V.
My 3 month old baby developed eczema we tried all of the ointments prescribed by the dr nothing worked. So we brought these products. We bathed him in Colloidal Oat Soothing Bath Soak and after the bath put kawakawa repair balm all over after about a week we started to noticed a difference in his skin and now his skin is so clear you would never know he has eczema. So thankful for these products!
Sophie G.
It’s a great product, but it’s too expensive! I have to moisturise from head to toe my little one 4 times a day for his eczema. I wish it was more affordable!
Hana T.
Miracle balm for my son's very very bad eczema. This has worked better than many creams both bought or prescribed to us. Thank you so much, already have bought more in a larger bottle size.
Imelda C.
As a skin-healing balm it has been quietly successful. Thank you!
Andrew B.
Great brew, always been a believer of the healing powers of our flora and fauna
Sheena M.
Absolutely love the kawakawa balm. My son gets ezcema as the weather gets warmer, this clears it up each time. Love the smell, it has been a great product to have on hand for any cuts and scratches.
Vanessa T.
This balm worked wonders. I wanted something natural to fix some dermatitis that I got recently. Overnight it calmed my face down and by day 2 it was all gone.
Alicia S.
We love Frankie Kawakawa repair balm. We’ve used it for around three years now on cuts and scrapes, nappy rash, dry skin, eczema, as lip balm, after sun, honestly this balm is AMAZING!!
Kirstie K.
I have been using this Kawakawa balm for more than 18 months now. It is amazing for my sensitive eczema prone skin!! I have and do recommend it to anyone that has struggled to find something that works. I suffered with an eggplant sized patch of eczema on my shin for years that I couldn’t clear, within a month of using this balm it made a huge difference. In the last 18 months it hasn’t come back!! I love it!! Thanks Frankie’s!!
Sally J.
Our go to balm for so many purposes!!
Eczema. Scratches. Insect bites. Burns. Sunburns....and more!

Helen
Magic Balm!I have used this repair balm on my eyelid, peri-oral, cheek, lips and arm eczema for the last 3 days and Wow!! it is amazing. Over the last 7 months I have tried so many different things. This seriously is a miracle balm.
Natalia
I swear by this product! I have very bad contact dermatitis from frequent washing and sensitivity to dish washing soap. Your repair balm is a must and I use it a couple of times a day. I've tried so many things but your balm works so well for me. I still have a little eczema because I'm constantly washing stuff everyday - but it's a huge improvement! My eczema used to be so bad until the sores ooze out and it feels really raw and painful. Worst feeling ever. Now I swear by your repair balm and I'm def getting the huge one. So thank You!! xx

Cami
I have been suffering from quite bad psoriasis on my hands this year and have been unable to find any natural product to help. I had to revert back to harsh gels to try and manage the damage it was leaving on my hands but they were horrible to use. When I came across this product online and did some research I decided to give it a try and I am so glad I did! After applying it to my hand for two days my hands already look and feel better so much better than they have since the start of the year. This is the most amazing balm for anyone having skin issues. Thank you for making this natural healing product, I am beyond grateful.
Judith
Gifting and Healing. I was gifted your kawakawa repair balm and I cannot recommend this product highly enough. I am recovering from surgery and have started using this balm on the dry and itchy wound area. So soothing and healing. Peace of mind to see the change in that area. Thank you!
RM
My daughter recently got a beautiful tā moko and I made sure she plastered it with Kawakawa Repair to stop the burning, stinging and the bleeding. Honestly it did not go red, bleed or scab like her friend's tattoos did! Thanks so much!
Shontayia Te Riini
Newborn eczema This product has definitely been a saviour to my newborns skin. She had an eczema like rash all over her face neck and chest. I've been using this for about 3-4 days and already it has cleared up all the bumps and red patches. Would definitely recommend this product.
Terry Hill
Amazing. Have tried many different products an nothing has worked. my partner not only has Eczema but is also allergic to most leafy/green plant based substances which means that all these other natural products are useless. However this has worked a treat. Would recommend this product to anyone that suffers from any form of skin irritations.
Leanne J
I love the kawakawa balm - Only thing that's worked. I use it when I get rashes from my Crohn's flare ups and so far its the only thing that has worked and not made it worse! Now I use on my lips and cuts and injuries. Love it!
Chantelle
Amazing! My baby has multiple allergies, sensitive skin and eczema and we have tried so many products to try and help with his dry skin and eczema flare ups! This is the one product that has actually worked! Couldn't recommend this enough! Thanks so much Frankie Apothecary, you have helped my baby feel so much more comfortable and calm.
Leah
So impressed! Just wanted to drop in and give you some feedback on your kawakawa repair ointment. My son suffers from eczema, and whilst we try to address the root cause and heal him internally, we have tried countless products to soothe his dry, itchy skin. Some have helped lessen the itching and some have smoothed the skin a little, bit I've never seen anything like your repair ointment. My mum bought it for him and I was sceptical at first, telling her that we've pretty much tried everything. Within the first use, we could see the difference in his skin. It was incredible. I also checked out your website and was so impressed at the recommendations and info surrounding eczema. Many people don't realise that the skin is an outward expression of internal inflammation. I know many people on healing journeys with their little ones who seek natural remedies, and I'm so happy to recommend your product. Keep doing what you're doing!
Mallory Allen
I've been using the Kawakawa repair balm as an all-rounder and have loved it! I recently ran out of eye makeup remover, which had a nasty smell and dried my skin out, and decided to start using the Kawakawa repair balm instead. I rub it over my eyelids and eyelashes and then wipe off with a tissue or flannel. It leaves my eyes makeup-free and feeling super moisturised.
Kori
Amazing for the whole whanau. I initially bought this for my pregnant belly that was sooo itchy in the dry Dunedin winter. Amazingly, I would feel instant relief whenever I applied it to my belly! Fast forward to now & I have used it on my baby’s cradle cap which has worked wonders & my partner has been applying it to his fresh half sleeve tattoo! He's obsessed with how it stops the itchiness & flakiness & keeps it Beautifully moisturised. I would recommend this product to everyone!!!
Leah
Amazing stuff. Best stuff ever! I use it as a moisturizer on my hands and works better than anything I have tried. I had a reaction to some other hand cream and this cleared it up completely and took away all the irritation!
Hannah
Just wanted to say a huge thank you from Australia for your Kawakawa balm. My bub has inherited his dad's eczema and had a horrible rash and dry skin. I was flicking through a magazine and your products practically jumped out at me - I couldn't believe the perfect timing! A few months on using the balm and we haven't had any problems with dry skin. Your Kawakawa balm is an absolute life saver and I've been recommending it to everybody!
Judith Longmore
Eczema life saver! Continuous hand washing because of Covid-19 has not been kind to my eczema. With my hand becoming scaly, dry, cracked and inflamed it was recommended I try this balm. Hand on heart honesty - within 15 minutes the inflammation had subsided considerably & in 1/2hr there was NO visible redness & the relief was oh so welcoming - I just couldn't believe how quickly I responded to the balm! Up till now I had even resorted to using icepacks to get brief relief from the inflammation. The scalyness needs the regular recommended application to keep the skin soft. I've only been using this for 2 days & I have no doubt in my mind this is going to be the answer to my eczema woes - I am SO very grateful! Thank You Frankie Apothecary.
Luise
A multipurpose space saver! This is fantastic multipurpose balm that I've used for my eczema, insect bites, on sunburn and as a face and body moisturiser. It was a space saving essential while travelling overseas. And I love that it is made in nz with natural ingredients.
Rachel
A few weeks ago we rescued a sweet dog that had been neglected. She had so many areas of broken skin and scabs on her face. Antibiotics have cleared up the majority of her face, but in the last few days I’ve been putting Kawakawa balm on. She loves it and sits so still when I do it. I love that it’s natural so I know that even if she was to lick it, (on occasion when I put it else where on her) she’ll be fine. Love your product.
Tini
Thank You! Am so grateful I've found Frankie Apothecary and am not looking back! My daughter was diagnosed with CMPA (cows milk protein allergy) at 5 weeks old and had severe dry skin all over her face and scalp which turned into eczema. Two weeks using kawakawa repair balm and her face and scalp is brand new again. She also has sensitive skin and didn't react to product. I've order the Mum and Bub bundle to try out! So looking forward to it. Many thanks Tini
Wyleen
Thank you so much for your wonderful products. I'm a mum of 4 and my big daughter age 2 (number 3 ) suffers from Eczema and Allergies. Since she was 1month her eczema was always bad , we tried so many creams and all sorts of baths nothing worked. Fast forward and it has been 2.5 years now and i came across your product on Sunday while searching up eczema on google, i was so surprised by the reviews i said to myself i am buying it the next day so I did! Travelled to Papakura Pharmacy plus just to buy it, i would order online but i was so desperate I needed it ASAP. Well here are our results. I cannot thank you enough!! My daughter has never slept past an hour and ever since we started our Frankie Journey on Monday she sleeps for hours. My star rating for this products is 100/100 or more than 100. It's a life saver for every desperate parents out there who stays up at night crying quietly because we can't take away their pain and can only say 2 words 'stop scratching'. Frankie products helped us so much.

I'm now a total convert. I recently had a half sleeve tattoo completed in a day. There was significant bruising, swelling and, after about day 4, I was beginning to get worried that the heat and swelling were getting worse. I went on a hunt through our medical box and found a full container of Frankie Apothecary Kawakawa Balm and liberally covered my arm with it. Within half a day there was significantly less heat, the swelling decreased markedly and my arm felt so much better. I used the balm over the next days during the itching and flaking phase and absolutely believe that the Kawakawa Balm was a major factor in not having further issues which could have resulted in a doctors visit! I'm now a total convert and planning on buying and using your Sunscreen and other products to keep my arm safe and the colours fresh!
Kieran
Amazing product! The Kawakawa repair balm has worked wonders on my skin. The eczema on my fingers would sporadically flare up and this balm reduced the redness, dryness an cracking of my skin. The natural ingredients of the balm really appeals to me, as well it's texture and scent. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a New Zealand made multi purpose balm. Happy to have found Frankie Apothecary!
Rachel
Hey just wanted to let you know I had rather nasty fall last year my left hand went into door latch anyhow I had 3 hours of hand surgery 5 weeks ago they had to repair the digital nerve and tendons. Two weeks after stitches came out I started using the Kawakawa balm as it was the only thing I could tolerate - I can’t believe the result from the last few days; it’s amazing!!
Trisha
My son was 4 weeks old and diagnosed with eczema. I was given prescribed creams from the GP which I tried but nothing worked. I then tried Frankie’s Kawakawa repair and I saw changes instantly. After 4 weeks of application my baby’s skin was almost all clear. Thank you guys so much for making such an incredible product. I still continue to use it for my son and recommend it to anybody and everybody. Absolute life saver.
Harrison
Life changer! I've struggled with bad eczema on my eye lids for as long as I can remember. I've used countless products that' have never seemed to make a dent. Now using this I can feel how moisturised my eyelids have become and I can see a noticeable difference that is slowly starting to repair after years of itching and damage.
Kiri
The 1 thing that works! This balm is amazing for my eczema. I struggle to find anything that actually works more than once. For both my son & myself, our eczema was pretty much gone within 24hrs. Great product & look forward to trying the rest of the range!
Alex
Magic. This stuff is amazing. I tried everything for my little ones eczema and nothing worked. I put this on and within a day it had gone away. I use it for everything now, even on my own face for dry skin. Highly recommend!
Lee
My baby's skin saviour. My baby had a bad reaction to his milk and his whole face flared up and the poor mite at the puffiest eyelids. His face was covered in red blotches and raised bumps. Once I changed his milk and started applying the kawakawa balm, his face almost instantly changed. Overall it took just a day for his face to start healing.
Skye
The only thing that worked. My infant daughter had a nasty face rash I had been trying to get rid of. I had tried all sorts, over the counter pawpaw, vaseline, ungvita, bephanthan, rhino cream, aloevera etc plus dr prescribed hydrocortisone, antibiotic ointment, barrier creams and fatty moisturizes. Frustratingly nothing worked. Finally I tried Frankie's kawakawa balm and it has cleared after months of trying. Her skin is beautiful and soft again.
Kelly Dingle
A must have in every home. We started using Kawakawa Repair as a barrier cream before swimming when my daughter was a baby as she got eczema all over from the chlorine. We had tried so many creams (even steroid creams!) and Kawakawa Repair was the only thing that worked. Now I feel like we use it for something almost everyday - scraped knees? Kawakawa Repair! Sunburn? Kawakawa Repair! Dog's itchy skin? Kawakawa Repair!
Jen Insley
Kawakawa goodness - We've been using this beautiful balm since it was created and we love it. It has helped to keep my daughters eczema under control, great for speedy healing of scrapes, scratches & scars, it's a fab lip balm, works wonders on dry winter hands and is fantastic for when I get annihilated by mozzies. I always have a pot handy.... especially when camping! Thanks Frankie x
Rosie Carson
Everything balm. This really is my 'everything balm'! I use it on the whole family for dry skin, as a lip balm, for post tattoo care, nappy balm and the list goes on. I am so happy to have found a natural product that works so well and is so versatile.
Caroline Pihema
Never leave home without it! I never write reviews but this is a product that works so people should know about it. I keep my Frankie in my handbag with me at all times just in case I need it. It is hands down the go-to for anything on the body that needs healing or maintenance. My whole family are converts & we use it on all the kids eczema, after nappy changes, scrapes, burns, lip balm, anything. Best product I've ever used for post-tattoo care too!
