The Unique Benefits of Kawakawa Oil
Kawakawa (Piper excelsum) is a native New Zealand plant long valued for its medicinal properties. Traditionally used to calm inflammation, support wound healing, and relieve discomfort, Kawakawa has a respected place in both Maori medicine and modern skincare.
At Aiso, Kawakawa is carefully infused into high-quality carrier oils, preserving its natural soothing, restorative, and nutrient-rich qualities. The result is a versatile oil that nourishes the skin, supports recovery, and can even be used for muscle relaxation.
Skin Benefits of Kawakawa Oil
Kawakawa oil is particularly effective for sensitive, inflamed, or acne-prone skin.
Calms irritation and redness
Its anti-inflammatory properties help soothe redness, itching, and discomfort.
Supports eczema and psoriasis-prone skin
Kawakawa reduces flare-ups and helps relieve dry, itchy patches.
Aids wound healing
Traditionally applied to minor cuts, scratches, or abrasions, Kawakawa supports gentle recovery.
Helps manage acne
With antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, Kawakawa can help calm breakouts while nourishing the skin.
Maintains hydration and resilience
Infused into plant oils, it reinforces the skin’s natural barrier, locking in moisture and keeping skin supple.
Regular use promotes long-term skin health and comfort rather than temporary relief.
Additional Uses
Beyond facial skincare, Kawakawa oil can be applied to:
• Dry or irritated areas such as hands, elbows, and feet
• Minor wounds or scratches
• Eczema or psoriasis patches
• Acne-prone areas to soothe inflammation
• Muscles and joints to ease tension
Its gentle yet effective nature makes it suitable for all skin types and everyday use.
