Kawakawa (Piper excesum) leaf is a foundation to the traditional Rongoā Māori, which is a traditional healing system. The leaves are steeped for a long period of time in a mild warmth in oil to extract the medicinal properties from the leaves. For decades these leaves have been used as a herbal healing system for a multitude of reasons. With potent anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and pain relieving effects, it can be used on basically ANYTHING. Its healing effects are undeniable. The Kawakawa leaf is used in ALL my products.

This amazing oil helps lock water into the skin barrier. This oil hydrates the skin without feeling heavy. This product is used in my Skin & Body Oils, Balms and Whipped Body Butter's.

NZ Beeswax is highly admired for its exceptional purity. Beeswax is made by young worker honeybees only 8-20 days old. They are the primary producer of beeswaxs due to their special wax glands on their abdomens. Beeswax can help the skin attract and retain moisture making it an excellent advantage in balms. This product is used in my Skin & Body Balms, Beeswax is NOT vegan friendly.

Lavender (Lavandula) oil is extracted form the lavender flower spikes. Lavender is also known for its medicinal properties like antimicrobial activity, anxiolytic, anti-inflammatory, antinociceptive, and antioxidant properties.

Candelilla wax is a natural vegetable wax derived from the leaves of the Candelilla shrub (Euphorbia cerifera). This is a great VEGAN subsitute in my balms instead of Beeswax. Candelilla wax creates a protective layer on the skin, locking in moisture and preventing dehydration. I use this product in my Skin & Body Balms as a VEGAN friendly choice.

The beans are fermented, dried, roasted, stripped, and pressed to draw out cocoa butter. It is highly valued in skin care and food. High concentrations of essential fatty acids allow it to penetrate deep layers of the skin. Improves elasticity and scaring, with anti-aging properties, it also soothes irritations making it a lovely product for eczema and dermatitis. I use this product in my Whipped Body Butter's.

It is rich lauric acid which provides natural antibacterial and anti-fungal effects. Because of this acid it helps soothe symptoms of skin issues such as atopic dermatitis'.

Jojoba oil is the liquid produced in the seed of the Jojoba plant (Simmondsia chinensis). Jojoba oil - technically a liquid wax, closely mimics the skin's natural sebum. This allows it to deeply moisturise without clogging pores, balance oil production and soothe inflammation.(Cold Pressed - means that this oil retains all of its natural nutrients and antioxidants). I use this product in my Whipped Body Butter's.
