When it comes to natural skincare, flaxseed is a quiet achiever. Known for its light texture and skin-friendly properties, flaxseed oil forms the base of many traditional balms, offering natural skincare nz gentle support for dry or sensitive skin. Combined with native New Zealand ingredients, flaxseed balm is becoming a must-have in conscious skincare routines.
One standout product is The Everyday Flaxseed Balm by Eckco, a New Zealand-based brand blending plant-based ingredients with traditional knowledge. This balm uses kawakawa infused flaxseed oil, alongside other botanicals like jojoba, mango butter, rosehip, and Roman chamomile. Kawakawa, a native plant with a long history in Māori use, adds a layer of traditional wisdom to modern formulations.
Flaxseed balm is especially helpful in cooler months or dry climates where skin needs extra support. Its soft texture and quick absorption make it perfect for hands, elbows, and everyday use without that greasy feeling some balms leave behind.
For those new to natural balms, Eckco offers a 15ml Try Me size, ideal for testing how your skin responds before committing to a full size. It’s also a great option for travel or gifting.
