It is suitable to be used from birth – making it a great nappy cream and can also be used for cracked nipples and eczema.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKawakawa is a potent medicinal plant with centuries of traditional use by Māori and backed by modern day science. Among it’s many bioactive molecules is Myristicin, which has known anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and insecticidal properties. It is also a mild analgesic, helping to safely relieve mild pain. We have kept this formula extremely basic to ensure the kawakawa is at its most potent concentration. Healing, nourishing and safe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCan be used for –\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eeczema, psoriasis and dermatitis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003enappy rash and cradle cap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ebumps, bruises, sore muscles and joints\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003einsect bites, cuts, rashes and burns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003echapped lips\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003etattoo balm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKawakawa leaves are steeped in high concentrations with a blend of grapeseed and olive oil, then mixed with locally sourced beeswax. And that’s it! I’ve chosen grapeseed oil as it is light and penetrates deeply into the skin, drawing in the bioactive benefits of the kawakawa. Olive oil and beeswax provide extra moisture, and protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe are so lucky to have a plentiful supply of our own kawakawa, and I regularly enjoy kawakawa tea which is a fantastic digestive tonic. I harvest kawakawa in the traditional manner, and ensure I pick the leaves with the most holes. The kawakawa looper moth has evolved to be resistant to the plants insecticidal properties, and in response the plant increases it’s potency to the leaves that are being attacked – so those are the leaves that are traditionally harvested.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt has so many uses, that I keep tins of this everywhere – in my hand bag, by the front door, in the bathroom and in our car.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Curiosity Blooms NZ","offers":[{"title":"60ml","offer_id":48655153889497,"sku":"31339","price":25.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0635\/5638\/7033\/files\/IMG-1001.webp?v=1778032849","url":"https:\/\/curiosityblooms.co.nz\/products\/kawakawa-healing-balm-gentle","provider":"Curiosity Blooms NZ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
