Kawakawa & organic Jojoba Balm
A deeply nourishing, unscented botanical balm specially formulated for acne-prone, blemished, oily and sensitive skin. Combining New Zealand kawakawa, organic jojoba oil, shea butter and New Zealand beeswax to provide long-lasting moisture, protection and support for skin needing extra care.
Discover the benefits of Honest Skincare Kawakawa & Organic Jojoba Balm, where the skin-balancing properties of organic jojoba meet the soothing, anti-inflammatory qualities of New Zealand kawakawa. Enriched with nourishing shea butter and protective New Zealand beeswax, this restorative balm helps comfort irritated skin, support the skin's natural healing processes and provide lasting moisture to areas affected by pimples, blemishes and acne.
Unlike lightweight facial oils, our balm creates a protective layer over the skin, helping seal in moisture and support the skin's natural barrier. It is particularly useful for skin that has become dry, irritated or compromised by breakouts or harsh acne treatments.
Each ingredient has been carefully selected for its unique benefits, creating a nourishing balm that works with your skin rather than against it.
Organic Jojoba Oil: One of jojoba's most remarkable qualities is how closely its molecular structure resembles the natural sebum produced by our skin. Sebum is essential for keeping skin moisturised and protected, but excess sebum can contribute to clogged pores, blackheads, pimples and acne.
Because jojoba closely resembles our skin's natural oils, it provides moisture without readily clogging pores. Generally considered non-comedogenic, jojoba is particularly well suited to oily, combination and blemish-prone skin, helping maintain hydration without stripping away essential oils.
New Zealand Kawakawa (Macropiper excelsum): Traditionally valued for its skin-soothing benefits, kawakawa contains naturally occurring compounds with anti-inflammatory activity. These properties make it a wonderful addition to skincare for irritated, sensitive and blemish-prone skin. Kawakawa may help comfort areas affected by redness, dryness and irritation associated with breakouts.
Shea Butter: Rich in fatty acids and naturally occurring skin-conditioning compounds, shea butter provides deep nourishment and helps soften dry, rough or compromised skin. It supports the skin's protective barrier and reduces moisture loss, making it especially beneficial for areas left dry or uncomfortable by acne treatments.
New Zealand Beeswax: Creates a long-lasting protective layer over the skin, helping lock in moisture and shield dry, vulnerable areas from further moisture loss. Beeswax gives our balm its rich, protective consistency, making it ideal for targeted care where skin needs additional comfort and protection.
Together, these four ingredients create a deeply nourishing, unscented balm designed to support healthier-looking skin, particularly where blemishes, irritation and dryness occur together.
Supports Clearer-Looking Skin: Organic jojoba oil is generally non-comedogenic and provides moisture without readily clogging pores. It is a gentle choice for skin prone to pimples, blackheads and blemishes.
Helps Maintain Natural Oil Balance: Jojoba closely resembles the skin's natural sebum, helping provide essential moisture without stripping away protective oils. This supports a healthier skin barrier, particularly for oily and combination complexions.
Soothes Irritated Blemishes: Kawakawa contains naturally occurring anti-inflammatory compounds that may help comfort skin experiencing irritation and sensitivity associated with pimples and breakouts.
Supports the Skin's Natural Recovery: Shea butter and jojoba nourish dry, compromised skin, while beeswax helps create a protective moisture barrier. Together, they support the skin's normal recovery processes and help maintain a healthier-looking complexion.
Provides Long-Lasting Moisture & Protection: Unlike a lightweight facial oil, this rich balm helps seal in hydration and protect areas needing additional care, making it particularly beneficial for dry, irritated or flaky patches.
Comforts Skin Affected by Acne Treatments: Harsh cleansers, exfoliants and acne treatments can leave skin feeling dry, tight and uncomfortable. Our balm provides targeted nourishment to help soften and protect these vulnerable areas.
Unscented for Sensitive Skin: Made without added fragrance or essential oils, this gentle formulation is ideal for those who prefer simple, uncomplicated skincare.
One of the biggest misconceptions about acne-prone skin is that it needs to be dried out.
While excess sebum can contribute to clogged pores and breakouts, stripping away too much of the skin's natural oils can damage its protective barrier, leaving skin dehydrated, irritated and more sensitive.
Healthy skin needs moisture, even when it's oily.
Jojoba oil offers a gentle approach because its structure closely resembles the skin's natural sebum. Although it hasn't been proven to directly reduce sebum production, it provides skin-compatible moisture that helps maintain hydration and support normal barrier function.
Kawakawa complements jojoba with its naturally occurring anti-inflammatory compounds, while shea butter and beeswax provide additional nourishment and protection.
This makes our Kawakawa & Organic Jojoba Balm particularly useful for acne-prone skin experiencing dryness, sensitivity or irritation, including skin affected by drying blemish treatments.
Because the balm is richer than a facial oil, we recommend applying it sparingly to blemish-prone areas and using a little more where the skin is particularly dry or compromised.
For skin needing extra nourishment, our Kawakawa & Organic Jojoba Balm works beautifully alongside Honest Skincare Kawakawa Infused Jojoba Oil.
These two products have different but complementary roles in your skincare routine.
Step 1: Kawakawa Infused Jojoba Oil
Begin with our lightweight Kawakawa Infused Jojoba Oil. Its skin-compatible texture helps moisturise, soften and support the skin's natural protective barrier without leaving a heavy, greasy finish.
Apply a few drops to clean, slightly damp skin, gently smoothing over the face and neck.
Step 2: Kawakawa & Organic Jojoba Balm
Follow with a small amount of balm over areas needing additional protection, particularly dry, irritated or blemish-prone patches.
The shea butter and beeswax help seal in moisture from the jojoba oil, creating a longer-lasting protective layer that supports the skin's natural barrier and helps keep troubled areas soft and comfortable.
Used together, the oil provides lightweight hydration while the balm delivers additional nourishment and protection.
It's a simple, gentle approach to caring for oily, combination, sensitive and blemish-prone skin without harsh or unnecessary ingredients.
Honest Skincare Kawakawa & Organic Jojoba Balm is about giving your skin the nourishment and protection it needs, especially when it's feeling irritated, dry or out of balance.
Whether you're experiencing occasional pimples, blemishes, dry patches, sensitivity or skin affected by acne treatments, this rich botanical balm helps restore comfort, reduce moisture loss and support a healthy protective barrier.
With four carefully selected ingredients and no added fragrance, it's uncomplicated skincare designed to work with your skin.
Apply a small amount of Kawakawa & Organic Jojoba Balm to clean skin, gently smoothing over areas needing extra moisture, comfort and protection.
For best results, use over Honest Skincare Kawakawa Infused Jojoba Oil.
For Acne & Blemish-Prone Skin: Apply a thin layer to areas that feel dry, irritated or uncomfortable. Avoid heavy application across very oily areas or active breakouts if you find rich products contribute to congestion.
For Dry, Irritated or Compromised Skin: Apply a slightly more generous amount to help seal in moisture and protect the skin's natural barrier.
For Sensitive Skin: Use as needed to moisturise and comfort areas experiencing dryness or irritation.
Suitable for targeted use on oily, combination, dry and sensitive skin. Patch test before first use, particularly if your skin is reactive. Avoid applying to infected or open wounds. This balm is intended for supportive skincare rather than as a treatment for acne.
