Our Ingredients – Our Connection to Aotearoa
Beeswax (Cera Alba)
The foundation of our products
Beeswax is at the heart of everything we make. Sourced locally here in New Zealand, it gives our balms their natural structure and helps create a protective barrier that supports skin moisture.
We love beeswax because it reflects what Kiwa Naturals is about, natural, reliable and connected to the land. Supporting local suppliers also means we can stand behind what we use and know where our ingredients come from.
Simple, natural, and proudly local.
Mānuka Oil (Leptospermum scoparium)
Mānuka oil is one of Aotearoa’s most well-known native botanicals, traditionally valued and respected for generations. We include it in our products to bring a premium native element that connects our balms to the whenua they come from.
Sourced from New Zealand suppliers, our Mānuka oil represents strength, resilience and the unique natural identity of our country.
A powerful native ingredient with a proud story.
Kānuka Oil (Kunzea ericoides)
Kānuka is another special native plant of New Zealand, known for its gentle nature and connection to the bush (ngahere). We chose Kānuka because it aligns with our belief that good skincare should be simple, balanced and made with care.
By sourcing from New Zealand, we ensure our products stay connected to the land and the traditions that inspire them.
Gentle by nature, strong in character.
Coconut Oil (Cocos Nucifera)
While our heart is in Aotearoa, we include Coconut Oil for its unparalleled ability to deeply nourish and soften the skin. It acts as a natural emollient, working alongside our native oils to ensure your skin feels smooth, hydrated, and resilient against the elements.
We select high-quality Coconut Oil to provide a silky texture to our balms, ensuring they glide on easily and absorb deeply.
Pure, tropical, and deeply nourishing.
Sweet Almond Oil (Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis)
We chose Sweet Almond Oil for its incredible ability to soothe and protect. Rich in vitamins and antioxidants, it acts as a lightweight yet powerful moisturizer that helps maintain the skin’s natural barrier, leaving it feeling soft and supple without a heavy residue.
By blending this skin-loving oil with our potent New Zealand botanicals, we create a balanced formula that is gentle enough for everyday use.
Light, soothing, and naturally replenishing.
