Aotea | Kawakawa Balm

A multi-purpose balm that draws upon the healing properties of the kawakawa plant. Long used as an anti-bacterial, analgesic and anti-inflammatory remedy, kawakawa has been lovingly extracted and blended with sweet almond oil, Mānuka oil and beeswax to offer a deeply soothing balm. Apply to chapped lips, dry skin, scratches, nappy rash – any kind of skin irritation – and feel the calming effects. Plant and bee derived ingredients are gathered from Aotea’s botanical gardens and apiary. Experience nourishing, therapeutic skincare, inspired by mātauranga Māori ( Māori knowledge), with a dedication to supporting the earth and local community. All of the native flora used to create Aotea’s offerings are grown, harvested and refined on Aotea, or Great Barrier Island, in New Zealand. Aotea supports the local community by providing scholarships for rangatahi Māori to attend high school on the mainland and increasing employment opportunities for whānau. Weaving ancient wisdom with modern science is Aotea’s passion, so every product is thoroughly researched and created with the highest quality, sustainability and active ingredients in mind. Uses
