When applied to the skin it works to heal inflammation due to its anti-inflammatory properties as well as soothing and calming itchiness, rashes and other skin complaints. Chamomile is also known for being a relaxant for sore and achy muscles and to have a calming effect on people and animals..

"I was given a sample of Bee Kinds Kawakawa Soap to trial as I have been searching for a natural soap to use on my dogs skin allergies. Every time I have used a 'medicinal' shampoo from the pet store or vets it has stripped out all of his oils and made little to no difference! Well after using the Kawakawa soap one time I can't believe the difference in how good my dogs skin looks! The inflammation and rash has completely disappeared and he isn't itchy anymore. Not only that but his fur is so soft and smells amazing. Thank you so much! I'll be recommending it to all of my friends" - Sam, Bay Of Plenty
