Harakeke Oil: Hydrating and Soothing Powerhouse

Harakeke Oil: A Tradition of Care and Nourishment

Harakeke, or New Zealand flax, is known for its incredible strength and versatility, Harakeke has long been used as a source of nourishment and care, both for the body and spirit. At WYLDER, we honour this legacy by incorporating Harakeke oil into our skincare, celebrating its remarkable ability to hydrate, soothe, and restore balance to the skin.

The Benefits of Harakeke Oil for Skin Harakeke oil is a natural powerhouse that strengthens the skin’s barrier, improving hydration and protecting against water loss. Its lightweight texture absorbs effortlessly into the skin, making it suitable for all skin types, including oily and combination skin. Rich in linoleic acid, this oil helps restore moisture and improve the skin’s resilience to external stressors. Traditionally valued for its soothing and calming properties, Harakeke oil is a natural anti-inflammatory that reduces redness and irritation, offering relief to sensitive or reactive skin. Its gentle purifying qualities also support clear, healthy-looking skin, making it a perfect choice for promoting overall skin balance.
