Wild Ferns Skincare


Lanolin Skincare Range

Lanolin is the natural oil which is present in sheep wool. After the sheep is shorn, the wool goes through a wool washing process to remove impurities and the all-important wool grease. This wool grease is further washed and refined to produce pure lanolin. This pure lanolin is blended with other natural ingredients such as collagen, manuka honey and vitamin E, to produce the premium products available in our lanolin skincare range.
New Zealand lanolin is universally recognised as the finest lanolin available. The sheep in New Zealand graze on some of the cleanest, greenest and least polluted pastures in the world. In particular, the sheep stations in the alpine areas of the South Island of New Zealand, produce wool and lanolin of the highest quality.

Lanolin Key Points
  • New Zealand produces the finest lanolin in the world.
  • Lanolin is the natural oil in sheep wool.

These studies have shown that manuka honey has natural antiseptic, antibiotic and anti-inflammatory properties.

Manuka honey is also highly cleansing, is a natural anti-oxidant, improves skin regeneration, and is an effective moisturiser. As a result, natural New Zealand manuka honey is in high demand as a skincare ingredient.

Wild Ferns Native Flowers is a small, unique collection that features the delicious fragrance of a combination of flowers native to New Zealand. These include manuka, pohutukawa, harakeke (flax), kowhai, and puriri.

While it is easy to be swept away with the gorgeous fragrance of the Wild Ferns Native Flowers collection, we have also used extracts from the plants themselves and these all feature unique properties to assist in the health and well-being of our skin.

Manuka
This is a small tree which grows abundantly throughout New Zealand. The delicate white and pink flowers can cover the tree such that it appears to have snowed. Various parts of the manuka tree have been used in traditional medicine for hundreds of years treating ailments such as head colds, inflammation, and rheumatic joints. It was also given as a sedative to a person in pain or to promote sleep.

Manuka has antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, anti-acne, anti-wrinkle, astringent and healing properties.

Pohutukawa
The pohutukawa is also known as the New Zealand Christmas tree due to the abundance of striking red flowers that bloom in December. The pohutukawa flower is one of the more easily recognised native New Zealand flowers.

Pohutukawa is not as commonly used in natural medicine as manuka, but also has astringent and antiseptic properties.

Harakeke (New Zealand flax)
This is one of the most versatile native New Zealand plants. Not only are the leaves used traditionally by Maori for weaving mats, clothing, bags and bowls, different parts of the plant were used as an external treatment for wounds, burns, toothache and eczema, while others act as a disinfectant for wounds.

Harakeke typically contains effective antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-acne, skin softening and healing properties.

Kowhai
The drooping bright yellow flower of the Kowhai tree is also one of the more easily recognised native flowers in New Zealand. Not only popular with the native tui (bird), all parts of the kowhai tree can be used in traditional medicine, from treating cuts, bruises and swelling to assisting in healing colds, sore throats and skin infections.

Kowhai has antimicrobial, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

Puriri
Puriri is one of the few native trees in New Zealand with large colourful flowers – commonly a rose pink compared to the white or green flowers which are more common on native trees. The flower itself is similar in appearance to the snapdragon flowers. Used in traditional medicine to treat ulcers, sore throats and for bathing sore muscles, backache and sprains.

Puriri has antimicrobial properties and acts as a relaxant.

As with all Wild Ferns products, the Native Flowers collection is free from parabens, mineral oil and lanolin to ensure a more natural, gentle product. Also, to help do our part to protect our environment, we only use recyclable board printed with biodegradable, soy based ink.

Wild Ferns. Beautiful naturally.
