The Kaeā Skincare Limited Edition Discovery Collection is said to be the ideal way to start your Kaeā Skincare routine and one of the best ways to be introduced to what is, an incredible, very luxurious brand.
Co-founded with nature, 100% of Kaeā Skincare's profits go directly to rewilding land in New Zealand and they give back more than they take. The Discovery Collection is made up of four products and the most beautiful handmade organic wash cloth. Together, these products make an incredible collection.
Starting with The Cleanser Gel Balm (5ml) this balm which is described as being a 3-in-1 cocooning balm which is designed to remove impurities, melt away make-up and deeply cleanses the skin, turns from a gel to a milk when it comes into contact with water.
Formulated using antimicrobial, free-radical fighting UMF™ 15+ Mānuka Honey, cleansing Kumerahou alongside natural healers Horopito and Mānuka. It also contains Elderberry Extract, Kiwi Seed, Marula and Hemp Seed Oils which are rich in phytonutrients and bioflavonoids and they help to balance break-out prone skin and promote hydration and healthy cell renewal. On the skin, I adore how this gel balm feels, it is soft, it is lightweight and with it comes the most natural yet herbal sweet aroma.
The second product is The Rejuvenator (5ml) and it is said to be a multi-nutrient face balm. Described as helping to calm inflammation and strengthening the skin’s barrier in an effort to boost moisture, and reduce the appearance of fine lines. The result is ultra-nourished, visibly rejuvenated skin.
On the skin, this balm is neither greasy nor tacky and as a balm, it is a solid texture which melts when it comes into contact with the skin, you can use it as a daily nutri-booster or as a restorative night treatment. Alongside 46 phytonutrient-rich botanical actives, this face balm is formulated with three key ingredients and they are - Tahi Mānuka UMF™ 15 Honey which has powerful antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. Then there is Harakeke, a unique flax seed oil which is exceptionally high in Omega 6, to help soothe and hydrate and then finally Kawakawa, a herbaceous native plant which has large heart-shaped leaves designed to help calm and soothe.
The third product from this collection is The Vitaliser (3ml) a multi-omega Oil. Described as being a luxuriously light, omega-charged face oil that rapidly penetrates the skin to deliver nature's finest 26+ cell-nourishing, skin-renewing botanicals to protect and regenerate for visibly vitalised, naturally radiant skin. Of those ingredients you will find vitamins A and E, omega fatty acids, blackcurrant seed oil, harakeke seed oil, Radish seed oil and sacha inchi seed oil to name a few. On the skin, what I love about this oil is that less is more.
Designed to be used after cleansing and before moisturising (though you can add it to your moisturiser if you prefer), this oil is not only great for your skin, but I find it really calming. Taking a few drops into the palms of your hands and breathing in that fragrance before patting it onto your skin, allowing time out and relaxation.
Finally, we have The Rescuer (5ml) which is said to be a Multi-essential SOS Balm for the face and body, perfect for use whenever your skin needs extra care and after-care, such as after shaving, sun and wind exposure or environmental exposure. Described as being pumped with super-soothing botanical concentrates and Tahi’s biodiversity-positive UMF™ 15+ Mānuka honey to calm irritations, protect against bacteria, and rescue skin that needs salvation.
Alongside that UMF™ 15+ Mānuka honey you will also find a blend of ingredients including the super-soothing botanical concentrates of Kawakawa Leaf extract and Harakeke Seed oil which are rich in essential fatty acids and nutrients to help calm inflammation and boost healthy cell regeneration. Together, the ingredients help to firm, hydrate and reduce redness. On the skin, again this SOS Balm melts as soon as it comes into contact with the skin and again, it is a product that you can take your time with to take advantage of the natural essence.
Each one of these products is superior in their own way. Whether your skin needs some extra TLC, hydration or even just as a treat. It is very much a luxurious brands and for me, what makes them even more special is that 100% of the profits go back to the award-winning conservation and community projects, all of which you can read more about right here and you can find this Discovery Collection right here.
