Back To The Wild Kawakawa Outdoor Balm SPF18

Traditional zinc protection powered by kawakawa - your natural barrier balm for wind, sun, and wild adventures.

Protect your skin the natural way with our Kawakawa Outdoor Balm - a back-to-basics, traditionally made zinc balm designed for wind, weather, and everyday sun exposure. Lab-tested to SPF 18, this balm provides broad-spectrum UVA & UVB protection using a time-honoured zinc recipe with no harsh chemicals, no synthetic fillers - just pure, old-school goodness.

Infused with wild-harvested kawakawa and made with 100% natural ingredients (organic where possible), this balm forms a gentle yet effective barrier against windburn, sunburn, and the elements. It’s especially loved by those with sensitive skin and is safe for all ages - including babies.

The balm also has mild insect-repelling properties, making it an ideal choice for gardening, playing at the park, hiking, or camping. For intense sandfly or mozzie zones, we recommend pairing it with one of our natural insect repellents - but for everyday outdoor use, most people find this balm is enough on its own.

Thicker than our SPF50+ sunscreen and made with a more rustic, nature-close zinc, it’s the perfect affordable option for those wanting extremely natural sun protection.

While it rubs in very well for a traditional zinc balm, it may leave a slight white tint - just wait 5 minutes and rub in again.

Housed in a glass jar and very long-lasting - a little goes a long way. Just a dab on each cheek and forehead is often enough for your whole face

For your next hike, beach day, or snow trip - this balm has you covered.

Directions for use

Make sure to test patch on skin first.

No need to wait 20 mins before going outside, this outdoor protection balm is effective as soon as it is applied due to the physical rather than chamical barrier.
