Key Ingredients and Their Benefits
1. Kawakawa (Macropiper excelsum)
- Anti-inflammatory: Kawakawa leaves have been traditionally used in Māori medicine for their anti-inflammatory and soothing properties.
- Wound Healing: Speeds up skin repair and reduces irritation and redness.
- Soothing Effect: Helps calm skin discomfort from rashes, insect bites, or minor burns.
2. Hemp Oil
- Rich in Omega Fatty Acids: Contains Omega-3, -6, and -9, which help repair the skin barrier and lock in moisture.
- Anti-inflammatory: Helps reduce skin inflammation and soothe redness or irritation.
- Moisturizing: Deeply hydrates dry or sensitive skin, making it ideal for eczema or nappy rash relief.
3. Manuka Wax
- Protective Barrier: Creates a natural protective layer over the skin, locking in moisture and protecting against environmental irritants.
- Antibacterial: Similar to Manuka honey, the wax has antimicrobial properties that help prevent infections in minor cuts, burns, and grazes.
