Harnessing the power of Aotearoa’s native healing plants, our Kawakawa & Kānuka Oil Blend is a deeply soothing, multipurpose treatment for dry, irritated, and sensitive skin.This small-batch formulation unites the therapeutic strength of Kawakawa and Kānuka with the nurturing richness of organic plant oils — a balanced harmony of protection, nourishment, and calm.


The Story Behind the Blend


Kawakawa and Kānuka are two of Aotearoa’s most revered rākau rongoā — healing trees long used in traditional Māori medicine. While Kawakawa helps calm irritation and support skin repair, Kānuka brings a clarifying and purifying energy to reactive or blemish-prone skin. Together, they form the heart of our Restore & Balance™ Complex — a synergy designed to soothe, replenish, and restore the skin’s natural equilibrium.

Our Restore & Balance™ Complex captures the essence of these two native botanicals within a base of nourishing organic plant oils rich in antioxidants and essential fatty acids. This balanced infusion delivers comfort and resilience without heaviness, helping restore softness, elasticity, and calm to skin that feels stressed, dry, or reactive.
