Testimonials of our Rongoā products

Received the Pani Pepi Baby Balm and Hinu Pepi Baby Oil in a pack. I absolutely love the balm for avoiding nappy rash and have found it clears up rashes my girl gets when I have tried other products. Also the oil works great on her cradle cap. So happy I have discovered Papa Toa Native Extracts

I am a Registered Nurse working in General Practice, I am always recommending the Kawa kawa and manuka balm, it's magic for many skin issues, of course if it doesn't improve things they need to be checked but many thanks to your team. love the pottles too. Do you do refills??

Papa Toa answer- Yes we do refills!! Clean and sterilise your jar, return it to us and you will save $2 on your next refill. (If posting back to us you must pay postage)

I brought a roll on to help me relax and to help me sleep as I was having a lot of trouble sleeping. Would fall asleep around 3 am and I was very tired. After trying the relax your roro roll on I sleep so much better. Smells so nice and I can not go without it now!

I purchased a small jar of kawakawa and manuka balm last year and have used it when I have cystic acne (side effect from prescription meds) on my face. It works within 2 days to clear up spots. I have also used on my mokos chronic eczema and within a couple of days what was raw and painful settled down. Hasnt gone completely but we will keep it up morning and night and watch as it improves every day. So much better than using the steroid cream she has been prescribed by the GP.

Recently I used the Papa Toa Manuka and Kawaka balm for my sons eczema on recommendation from a friend. We have been battling eczema due to allergies for years now and have had to resort to steriods in bad times. We have used the balm morning and night and there has been an amazing improvement in his eczema, the best results we have had compared to all other alternatives! I would absolutely recommend this balm to any other eczema sufferers out there!
