Kawakawa-Infused Olive Oil



Kawakawa is a native New Zealand plant traditionally used in Māori medicine. When infused into olive oil, its benefits are enhanced by the oil’s rich fatty acid content and antioxidant properties.



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.

Rosemary-Infused Olive Oil



Rosemary is a Mediterranean herb known for its invigorating, antibacterial, and circulatory benefits. Infusing it into olive oil creates a warming, revitalizing treatment.



Topical Benefits:



  • Stimulates Circulation: Excellent in massage oils for tired, cold, or aching limbs.

  • Promotes Hair Growth: Often used in scalp treatments for thinning hair or dandruff.

  • Antimicrobial & Antifungal: Helps cleanse and protect skin from breakouts or fungal conditions.

  • Energising Scent: Rosemary’s sharp, herbal aroma is uplifting and mentally clarifying.

  • Muscle Relief: Can ease stiffness and soreness in muscles and joints—popular in sports massage blends.






🫒 Olive Oil as a Base:



Both infusions benefit from olive oil’s properties:


  • Rich in antioxidants (especially vitamin E and polyphenols)

  • Anti-aging and deeply hydrating

  • Gentle and non-comedogenic (won’t clog pores)
