Hey there good people...

We have been busy brewing the most amazing Kawakawa & H**p Balms. They smell and look absolutely beautiful.

Gentle enough that you can use this gold goodness on babies crafle cap, eczema or dermititis. Insect bites, abrasions and stings are soothed & healed.

Maybe you are looking for tā moko/skin art aftercare or easing the sting of sunburn. Or perhaps you just want a simple skincare regime that keeps your skin looking healthy and luminous.

Almost every skin ailment you can think of will benefit from our balm. And once you have experienced its healing properties, you will never go back to artificial and synthetic skin cremes. You will want a jar in every handbag and medicine cupboard for your whole family to enjoy.

Brewed in small batches to ensure the integrity and potency of our ingredients.

Hit us up on messenger if you are keen to try our gorgeous Kawakawa & H**p Balms.

PACKAGING ugh

Don't you just hate ordering things online and they arrive wrapped head to tail in useless, needless plastic?

I do.

Don't you just hate seeing landfills overflowing with single-use items?

I really do.

On a regular basis we go hunting for items that are destined for the bin but - with a few adjustments or improvements, could be used over & over again.

Our mixed Soy Melts (Mixed Lollies, Purini Special and Fabulous Florals) come in repurposed jars.
Our jars are rescued from heading to the rubbish trucks. We wash, disinfect, delabel, rewash, disinfect and then sterilise them just like we would for preserving food.

Our giftboxes are rescued before heading to landfill and then repurposed OR we make them from scratch using NZ Flax and recycled paper.

Anything we can do to save more useful things from ending up buried at the dump - we will.

Our first little batch of beautiful floral wax melts have all sold out so we thought... why not make another?!

These stunning scents are making our home smell like we have fresh cut flowers in every room.

They are $5 for each clam with $1 going to Nehemaiahs Give-a-Little page.

If you would like these beauties for yourself or thinking of buying them for someone else... leave us a message 😊
