The Heart of Aotearoa: Native Plants in Our Products
New Zealand's untouched ecosystem hosts remarkable plants, esteemed for generations in Māori rongoā (traditional medicine) for their powerful healing qualities. At Natures Empathy, we combine this ancient knowledge with contemporary expertise to craft products such as our Manuka Honey Balm, Kawakawa Skincare Balm, and therapeutic balms, all devoid of synthetic pesticides and chemicals, maintaining the purity of Aotearoa’s landscape.
Manuka: Nature’s Healing Honey
Derived from the nectar of the Manuka tree (Leptospermum scoparium), our Manuka Honey Balm (UMF 16+) is rich in antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. It provides deep hydration, alleviates eczema, and aids joint health, making it a versatile solution for vibrant skin and arthritis relief. Its antioxidants enhance cell repair, resulting in glowing and healthy skin.
Kawakawa: The Soothing Star
Kawakawa (Piper excelsum), recognized by its heart-shaped leaves, is a revered plant in Māori culture and a key ingredient in our Kawakawa Skincare Balm. It is renowned for its ability to soothe irritation, diminish redness, and moisturize dry skin. Additionally, Kawakawa alleviates muscle and joint pain, providing natural relief for arthritis and promoting a tranquil radiance.
Harakeke (Flax): Strength and Resilience
Harakeke (Phormium tenax), a multifaceted native flax, enhances our therapeutic balms. Its gel-like extract moisturizes and restores the skin, and its calming qualities bolster overall health. Traditionally employed for wound healing, Harakeke adds strength to your skincare regimen, helping you glow from the inside out.
Koromiko: The Skin Healer
Koromiko (Hebe stricta), a traditional Māori remedy, is valued for its astringent and anti-inflammatory properties. It is used to alleviate burns, wounds, and irritations. The Koromiko extracts in our products enhance skin healing and diminish redness, making them an ideal choice for sensitive skin desiring a natural radiance.
Kōwhai: Vibrant Joint Relief
Kōwhai (Sophora microphylla), with its stunning yellow blooms, was traditionally used for bruises and joint pain. Its anti-inflammatory compounds enhance our balms, offering natural relief for arthritis and muscle soreness, helping you move freely and feel vibrant every day.
Rātā: Nature’s Nurturer
Rātā (Metrosideros robusta), with its rich bark and nectar, supports wound healing and skin health in Māori tradition. Its hydrating and antimicrobial properties make it a star in our skincare range, fostering a radiant complexion and overall well-being with Aotearoa’s touch.
