A Gentle, Healing Hand and Body Wash
Pomaderris Kumarahou, has a very high saponin content. Saponin is a surfactant, which means that it can foam into a lather, 100% naturally. Most body cares contain chemicals to do this. Kumarahou was traditionally referred to as gum diggers body care, as the gum diggers of the 1800s would use kumarahou and water to remove kauri gum or tree sap from their hands when they were working. This body care is beautifully soft, very healing and 100% natural.
Uses
A very natural and soft body care.
Perfect for those that find most body cares too harsh.
Does not strip the skin of natural oils.
Manuka oil content kills bacteria and saponin content remove dirt.
Science
Pomaderris Kumarahou possesses a plant agent called Saponin. This plant agent is a natural surfactant, meaning it can be developed into a body carey lather. We do this but also infuse our own anti-bacterial manuka oil into the formulation. This makes for a super cleansing, 100% natural body care. It is effective at removing dirt and kills bacteria on the skin without breaking down the barrier of the skin and stripping it of its natural oils.
