Kawakawa Balm (60ml Jar)

Natural Relief for Tender Nipples (and More)

Designed with healing in mind, this multipurpose balm offers gentle, effective relief for damaged nipples and sensitive skin — for both you and baby.

Kawakawa (Macropiper excelsum) has been used for generations in traditional Māori healing practices and is now recognised in scientific literature for its anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and analgesic (pain-relieving) properties. These active compounds help calm inflammation, support tissue repair, and protect against infection — making it an excellent natural ally for nipple trauma associated with breastfeeding.

This balm combines kawakawa-infused olive oil with natural beeswax to deliver both active healing and a breathable moisture barrier. The olive oil deeply nourishes and softens the skin, while beeswax helps protect against further irritation and moisture loss — key in healing cracked, grazed, or bleeding nipples.

Safe for use while breastfeeding, with no need to wash off before feeding.

Also suitable for:

Mild to moderate eczema

Baby’s dry, irritated skin (e.g. behind knees, cheeks, under neck rolls)

Nappy rash and dribble rash

General dry or inflamed skin conditions in both adults and infants

Naturally antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and barrier-forming

No essential oils, fragrances, or synthetic additives

Made locally in Palmerston North by a mum, in small, quality-controlled batches

Because sometimes the simplest ingredients are the most powerful.

A baby bag essential — and a household staple.
