Bohème NZ

Soothe Kawakawa Everything Oil

This is the bees knees for anything and everything. Using sunflower seed oil to infuse the kawakawa leaves - it is light weight, easily absorbed, high in linoleic acid (which helps repair and maintain the skin barrier), it's going to really soothe and help keep your skin soft and supple.

My blend uses a touch of lavender and sandalwood to give extra healing properties so it's also really great for bug bites, sunburn and windburn, cuts, grazes and rashes. Our beautiful native Kawakawa leaf is such a powerful healer!

And if you're after just a really beautiful every day body oil - then this is also the one for you 🌱

Sometimes you're actually doing more damage layering ALL the things on... when actually stripping it all back and doing the basics would do your skin wonders!

Use some really nourishing, skin-barrier loving products- beautiful natural and hormone loving ingredients.
Give your skin a little time to adjust and adapt...

And see how you glow ✨️

All for the love of small business... and your skin ❤️

Hands up other small business owners 🙋🏽‍♀️
Especially in the school holidays...

NZ small business, botanical skincare business, herbal formulator,

Hot take... but if you think about it... I'm not wrong 🤷🏽‍♀️🙃

The beauty industry makes millions selling us products that are going to "fix" us. But what is so wrong with us we need a 20 step routine morning and night? What's wrong with a few wrinkles that distinguish us from the person next to us? Why are we supposed to stay looking 20 forever but the guys are ok "letting go"?

I just want to create something that feels good and honestly that really gets that nervous system relaxed!! Because if we all just focused a little more on our own lane and lowering those stress levels a little more, the world would probably be a better place. I dunno. What do you think?

Money can't buy a new nervous system... but you can get some of the tools you need to help you regulate it...

Bohème is formulated to be an everyday ritual with botanical ingredients that help your nervous system unwind.

So money can't buy happiness. But it can help give you 5min of peace.

Soothe Kawakawa Everything oil...

This one is all me. No mass made products around here!

I harvest the local Kawakawa from our very own backyard forest. Wash it. Dry it. Infuse it into the oil slowly. Strain it. Pour it and add in a couple of extras for the MOST therapeutic effects. Label all the bottles by hand and send them out to you.

I love this oil because of this process. The connection with our own land and the slow way it is made. Plus it is such a jack of all trades for body products. Great for the face, hair, body. Perfect for using with eczema, dermatitis, cuts, grazes, insect bites.

Every house needs a bottle!

We seem to always put ourselves last and tend to everyone else first...

But no one else can regulate your nervous system for you. And if you don't tend to that. Then slowly but surely, everything else will fall apart.

So start small. Deep breathing. 10min with your legs up the wall and your eyes shut. Or just doing your skin care ritual slowly and with intention.

It all helps. But do it for you x

Tell me what is one way you unwind and look after that nervous system?

Girl to girl...

The wellness industry is well... a little psychotic out there! (Don't come for me!)

But if you are putting pressure on yourself to do all of the things, all the time... then you're just putting yourself under undue stress, and thereby undoing all your good work!! Stress is NO BUENO, say it with me...

Do the things that are accessible, that feel good. Do it MESSY, but just do it. And don't stress when you can't ❤️❤️ You can start over any day of the week remember.

This is what I like to call ritual wellness. Little stackable rituals that all start to add up to be so much more than rigidly sticking to unattainable and hard goals.

Your skincare should be one of those little rituals that feel good, no pressure and add to your health and wellbeing. That's what Bohème is for. Ritual Wellness.

You're doing so good sweetie x
