This unique moisturising soap is made in New Zealand using flax seed oil and manuka oil, an oil made from pure, natural honey collected by bees from the native manuka tree. The manuka tree has long been valued for its healing properties by the indigenous people of New Zealand, the Maori. Early European migrants produced a tea from manuka leaves for refreshment and health. Aromatherapy researchers believe manuka oil helps in the relief of numerous skin and rheumatic ailments. Many users swear by manuka oil in the treatment of scars, stretch marks, acne, and age spots. Some researchers also believe manuka oil to be beneficial for stress, nervousness and anxiety.
The soap smells of pohutukawa, a native New Zealand tree of the evergreen myrtle family that produces a brilliant display of red flowers made up of a mass of stamens. The smell is a sweet, rich, refreshing change from scents typical to the North American nose.
