Sensitive noses: this kawakawa balm is almost completely fragrance-free! While this is also a deeply nourishing balm, regular users have reported that THIS is the one you want for eczema and similar skin things – shea butter in particular is respected for its soothing qualities. It’s also great for anti-itch purposes, of course.

This auction is for a 60mL jar, but Thun is also available in 30mL and 10mL tins.

Thun is a slick and malleable kawakawa balm that smooths on easily (hence the name) and leaves a soft barrier on the skin. Kawakawa leaves are steeped in gentle, hydrating sweet almond oil, then blended with nourishing shea butter – known for its anti-inflammatory, moisturising, healing properties – and beeswax to create a balm designed to hydrate, soothe and protect angry skin. Finally, a dash of manuka essential oil provides extra antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory power to this delicious balm.

Thun is great for very dry or angry skin, and provides a subtle barrier. Made with sweet almond oil and shea butter, this balm was made with skin conditions like eczema in mind.

Give it a try if you have: cracked heels or elbows; eczema or itchy and irritated skin; chapped or cracked lips; dry or damaged cuticles; sore, overwashed hands; or razor burn. Kawakawa balm may also help with bruises and joint pain.

To use: take a small amount of balm and gently massage into the affected area until it absorbs. If the balm is cold, you may find it easier to run your fingernail across it backwards. It can also be used as a lip balm – a little goes a long way.

Ingredients: Kawakawa-infused sweet almond oil, shea butter, beeswax, meadowfoam oil, vitamin E and manuka essential oil.
