“Severe dermatitis and broken skin of the hands. So bad that even bending fingers or performing simple tasks would cause skin to break and weep. Had tried steroid creams, moisturisers and had many skin specialist appointments. I was desperate to try anything! I can’t believe the difference the healing balm has made. I took Aleshia’s advice and used the healing balm under cotton gloves at night and then applied topically four times during the day. After 24 hours there was a noticeable difference and after about a week of using koaka healing balm my hands are feeling so much healthier and less swelling, itchiness and pain.”

"Hey guys, just wanted to say thanks for this product. I've had a lot of issues with my face of late, redness, itchy, inflammation etc, and spent so much money trying different skincare ranges etc which just made it worse. Pharmacist in Hamilton sold me this on Tuesday and by Thursday I was back there thanking him, my face had cleared up so much, absolutely amazing, even he was surprised by the difference! Total convert"

“I often use Skin Rescue Balm on my hands and nails because as a builder a get plenty of cuts, splinters and grazes. This time I sliced my hand on the underside of a washing machine leaving a decent piece of skin flapping off my palm. Within 4 days of applying Skin Rescue Balm every night the skin was no longer broken and two days later the entire thing had healed.”
- Max, Christchurch
“I used the Skin Rescue Balm on my face after I got carpet burn. After using it for a few days it scabbed and the skin fell off. I continued to use it and now there is no scaring and my skin has healed completely. Very happy with the product.”
- Shona, Christchurch
"The Moisturising Serum is one of the best I've used. 100% natural, made in NZ and very affordable. Highly recommend!"
— Naomi, Palmerston
“The skin rescue balm is next-level good, I've used it on cuts, itchy-bites and dry skin to the point where I felt comfortable putting it all over my face when I developed extra dry skin from the change of season, it leaves your skin hydrated, smooth and noticeably less red/irritated. I tend to switch between the Kōaka Hemp Oil and Kōaka Healing Balm depending on what I feel my skin needs - but usually it's one or the other every day to maintain healthy-looking skin - would recommend to anyone”
— Jordan, Auckland
“Our family has just started using both the skin rescue balm and the lip soother. We are really loving both products, in particular the skin rescue balm. It’s ideal for itchy bites and cuts/grazes and we have found it wonderful for nappy rash on our daughter. We look forward to trying more products.”
— Cerise, New Plymouth
"I started using Kōaka for itchy scalp problems and after the first couple of nights of rubbing it into my hair after showering, I noticed a significant difference in the amount of dandruff that has been reduced, I would 100% recommend this product, straight up is the bees knees"
— Joe, Christchurch
"Bathroom staple everyone should invest in (Hemp Seed Oil Moisturising Serum). I have the world's WORST chapped lips and it's like a magic healing potion. Also been using it on my new tattoo and it seems to work a treat on that too."
— Amber, Auckland
"Yesterday I got ridiculously sunburnt. I needed to put something on it last night. Reached for my Kōaka oil. Took the redness and heat out of it... Brilliant!"
- Anita, Christchurch
"Healing balm is magic! Had an incredibly painful thermal burn on my wrist a couple of weeks back was blistering up after 4 hours! I’ve applied your healing balm 3 times a day for 10 days and it’s all gone and no scar to be seen Love it!"
— Renee Franks, Christchurch
"I love this oil, it's my "go to". Thanks Kōaka!"
— Annabel, Timaru
My five year old has suffered from eczema flare ups all of her life. We have tried many different creams and nothing has ever seemed to help her. I can’t believe the results on her eczema after using healing balm. After applying twice a day for just two days her eczema was dramatically diminished and wasn’t bothering her. In a week it was gone completely. Thank you so much for making this product. We have been using it on everything now from dry skin to spider bites. Every household needs this!
