Rata Ngahere — Kawakawa Soothing Balm

The Doctor of the Forest

Reclaim your skin’s natural balance with Rata Ngahere, a deeply restorative, traditional Rongoā-infused balm crafted to soothe, protect, and repair. Inspired by the traditional healing wisdom of Aotearoa’s native bush, this rich ointment serves as your home's multi-purpose first aid remedy.

At the heart of this formulation is wild-harvested Kawakawa, revered for generations for its ability to calm inflammation, take the sting out of minor irritations, and settle angry, dry, or reactive skin. We layer this native powerhouse with therapeutic Mānuka extract, introducing profound antibacterial and conditioning support to speed up your skin's natural recovery process.

To elevate this traditional remedy into a truly luxurious skin conditioner, the extracts are blended into a base of nutrient-rich Olive Oil infused with Calendula and Chamomile flowers. This golden botanical blend gently wraps irritated tissue in a barrier of calm, while pure New Zealand Beeswax locks in critical moisture, defending your skin against harsh environmental elements without clogging your pores.

From stubborn dry patches, windburn, and rough cuticles to insect bites and minor skin abrasions, Rata Ngahere is the clean, plant-powered protector your family's skin can rely on day after day.

Why You'll Love It:

  • Purely Natural & Clean: 100% plant-based extracts bound together with pure New Zealand beeswax. Absolutely no synthetic fragrances, parabens, or mineral oils.
  • Traditional Rongoā Wisdom: Formulated around wild-harvested Kawakawa, honoring time-tested, native New Zealand botanical traditions.
  • The Ultimate Multi-Tasker: A single, hard-working tin that replaces your everyday hand creams, dry skin salves, and soothing ointments.
  • Planet-Conscious Packaging: Housed in an infinitely recyclable, lightweight aluminum tin that is as gentle on the earth as it is on your skin.

📋 Directions for Use:

Warm a small, pea-sized amount between clean fingertips to melt the natural oils and beeswax, then gently massage into dry, chafed, or irritated skin as needed. A little goes a very long way. Suitable for face, body, and hands.

Note: For external use only. We always recommend patch testing a small amount on your inner arm prior to your first full application.
