Pohutukawa is known as the New Zealand Christmas tree, because in December its vibrant red blooms start flowering on its spreading branches right across the country. It brings joy to skin as well as to Christmas!
For your skin, it is:
- conditioning
- moisturizing
- an antioxidant
- antiseptic.
Pohutukawa flowers contain ellagic and gallic acid.
