Game changer!

I discovered this balm whilst on holiday in New Zealand (we live in Singapore). It’s the best insect repellent I have ever come across, it actually works! And what is best is that it is completely free from any nasty chemicals. I also use this on my 3 year old everyday as required for school, and on weekends when we are exploring in the Botanic gardens and outdoors of Singapore. It is excellent - highly recommend.

Great medium sized pot

Came exactly how it was described and it's useful though I didn't realise it had hemp as part of the ingredient.

Thanks Elaine, Hemp is in it for the anti inflammatory properties in it, plus the omega 3 and 6. It is one of the healthiest oils on our planet. It does not contain THC, and we source it from Hemp Connect who supply most health shops in NZ. It is commercial hemp grown quite legally around NZ so nothing to worry about.

Bugs & Bites Balm - Natural Insect Repellent 45ml

This is an excellent product. As soon as I felt the insect bite, I rubbed some of this repellent on and immediately the itchiness stopped and did not return. There was no swelling that I usually get, I would have no hesitation in recommending this Natural Insect Repellent for any insect bite. It has been a miracle balm for me.

Hi Betty, Great to hear. Thankyou. Yes it is more than just an insect repellent, and glad you have discovered that! It is also lovely on dry feet, or lips, the lemon eucalyptus and citronella essential oils are uplifting! It is great in a first aid kit as a multi purpose healing balm.

What is Kawakawa?

Kawakawa is a native New Zealand plant with a long history of traditional use. It is believed to have many health benefits due to its anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antioxidant properties.

These potent properties of Kawakawa mean it is an absolute warrior at tackling rashes, swelling, and inflammation, as well as more comprehensive problems such as eczema and psoriasis.

Kawakawa Tea can help aid and soothe digestive issues and can help alleviate symptoms of indigestion, bloating, and upset stomach.

It really is the Pharmacy of the Forest.

Treating Nappy Rash with Kawakawa

As well as providing natural relief for treating eczema for adults and babies alike, this product is also renowned as a soothing balm to treat nappy rash and help keep babies' bottoms waterproof.

For best results, we would recommend applying after every diaper change, particularly during your night-time nappy change as this will ensure maximum time for the balm to soak into your baby’s skin.

This product is also great when paired with our Natural Soothing Cream, to help provide relief for babies with sore red areas, cradle caps and eczema.
