Melt & Pour Kawakawa NZ Soap

Kawakawa (Macropiper excelsum) is a traditional medicinal plant native to New Zealand. It has been used for centuries by Maori people for its numerous health benefits, including its anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antiseptic properties.

Kawakawa is a popular ingredient in soap, due to its soothing and healing properties. The leaves of the kawakawa plant contain flavonoids and alkaloids that help to reduce inflammation, promote healing, and soothe irritated skin.

In soap, kawakawa is used as a natural skin conditioner. It is believed to help improve skin tone and texture while also reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The plant's natural antimicrobial properties may also help to reduce acne and other skin infections.

kawakawa melt & pour soap is easy to work with and is a great cleanser that lathers up beautifully leaving the skin feeling clean and moisturised. Has a mild neutral pH.

Made here in New Zealand, this soap base is easy to melt and pour to make your own soap. Essential oils, vegetable butters (e.g. Shea Butter) and/or nut & seed oils can be added to create your very own luxurious soaps. A long lasting soap that gives value for money.

How to melt the soap base:

• Put the soap base into a pot (the smaller the pieces the faster it will melt) along with any other desired ingredients e.g. Shea Butter, and/or any nut and seed oil.
• Put pot on a gentle heat so it is hot enough to melt the soap, but not boiling.
• Before the soap base fully melts, pepare your chosen soap mold.
• Once the soap base has melted, leave it to cool slightly before adding any essential oils (If the melted soap is too hot the essential oils will evaporate).
• Safely pour the melted soap base into the moulds and leave to harden. This particular soap hardens up quickly.
• Once soap bars have cooled down and are solid they are ready to use. Enjoy!
