Kawakawa & Hemp: The Ultimate Skin Recovery Pair
When it comes to natural skincare, few ingredients compare to the versatility and potency of kawakawa and hemp. Both botanicals are deeply rooted in traditional healing practices and backed by modern skincare science.

Koa Botanics’ Kawakawa & Hemp Balm is more than just a moisturiser. It’s a multi-tasking skin remedy designed to soothe and restore.
From surgical scars and burns to eczema flare-ups, cracked hands, bruises, and everyday scrapes, this balm has become a trusted go-to for natural healing.
Across Aotearoa, customers are discovering the wide-ranging benefits of healing with kawakawa and hemp, and why this ancient combination continues to shine in modern wellness.
Why Kawakawa and Hemp Work So Well Together
Kawakawa (Piper excelsum) is a treasured native plant of Aotearoa, used for generations in rongoā Māori (traditional healing) for its remarkable anti-inflammatory and skin-restorative properties. It calms redness, soothes irritation, and supports the skin’s natural repair process.
Hemp seed oil is rich in omega fatty acids that replenish the skin’s moisture barrier, lock in hydration, and reduce dryness. Its unique balance of nutrients helps to restore softness and flexibility to damaged or stressed skin.
Together, these two ingredients create a balm that is gentle enough for babies, strong enough for scars, and effective on a wide range of skin challenges.

Kawakawa + Hemp Balm helped heal skin grafts
Kawakawa & Hemp Balm"Bought on the recommendation of a friend. I have extensive skin grafts that become dry and easily infected. The difference in less than a week is simply amazing. I also used it on a bruise and that was gone in 7 days. This will now be my go-to product for all inflammation and dry skin."
