Harekeke

Harekeke, also known as Phormium Tenax, is one of the many natural plants found in New Zealand which can be used to benefit human health and beauty. The sunny climate of New Zealand makes it an ideal place for a wide range of healing herbs and plants to grow. Harekeke, also known as New Zealand Flax, has many soothing and healing properties for human skin. It is often used in skincare products such as body and face washes and cleansers. This plant has been used in many different ways throughout the ages.
Although Harekeke is now found in a range of human skin and beauty products, this is by no means the first time it has been found to be beneficial by humans. It has a history of use within New Zealand as a sweetener for the food of native Maori people. Many of the benefits that Harekeke has for human skin stem from its gum which is rich in nutritional acids.
The acid-rich gum of the Harekeke plant is incredibly softening when applied to human skin. Many people find that their skin is rough or dried out. This may be due to the climate where they live, their nutrition or just their genetics. Whatever the cause, Harekeke can help soften skin which leads to it being nicer in appearance as well as touch. This can greatly increase the confidence of people with dry or damaged skin who may have felt previously insecure due to their condition.
As well as having great cosmetic benefit, Harekeke can also have a healing medicinal effect on the skin due to its antibacterial nature. Often people think of antibacterial products as being man-made and synthetic but this does not have to be the case. Harekeke is naturally rich in antibacterial properties and can therefore bring relief to inflamed or irritated skin. A few examples of conditions which may benefit from the antibacterial agents in Harekeke include eczema and sun-burn. Its combination of softening and healing properties make it a great source of relief for almost any skin irritation.
One bonus of using a Harekeke-based product over a synthetic one is the fact that its natural composition means it is far less likely to have negative side effects. Many people who are in need of skin relief products are unable to use them due to experiencing problems with some of the man-made chemicals found in synthetic substances. Harekeke is likely to be far more compatible for people with sensitive skin.
There are few better choices for a natural skincare product than Harekeke. It combines many desirable benefits, such as healing and softening the skin, in a single natural product. It can bring great relief to people who are suffering from a variety of skin conditions and it is also beneficial as a more regularly applied softener. Finally, one of the Maori’s natural marvels is now available to the world at large. Look for Harekeke in facial cleansers and body washes to give naturally soft skin a chance.
