Topical Benefits:
• Anti-inflammatory: Soothes irritated or inflamed skin (great for eczema, psoriasis, insect bites, and rashes).
• Analgesic: Natural pain relief—helpful on sore muscles, arthritic joints, and bruising.
• Antimicrobial: Assists in healing minor cuts and preventing infection.
• Deeply Moisturising: Olive oil helps carry Kawakawa’s healing properties deep into the skin.
• Restorative: Encourages skin regeneration and calms dry, cracked, or sunburned skin.
