What's this?Enjoy a cleaner world AND clean hair!
Frankie Apothecary's Kawakawa + Kūmarahou Shampoo Bar combines the natural cleansing properties found in NZ-native Kūmarahou flowers and the moisturising, soothing properties of Kawakawa. Both native plants are sustainably harvested and extracted on the Frankie Farm utilising traditional Rongoā practices.
The fine folks at Frankie have added conditioning ingredients to these natural shampoo bars, making them extra moisturising. AND, unlike other shampoo bars, they've got a pH of 6, so there's no need to rinse in acidic cider vinegar to repair damage done by the shampoo bars.
Kawakawa oil, Kūmarahou extract, Sodium Cocoyl Isenthionate from coconut oil, BTMS 25 (vegetable derived), Steric Acid, Cetyl Alcohol, Pola Wax, Cocomidopropyl Betaine, Decyl Glucoside, Natural Fragrance, Argan oil, Natural Colour
Wet the solid shampoo bar, rub between hands and lather into wet hair. Rinse well.
Frankie Apothecary’s mission is to provide natural and effective skin care products, based on the principles of Māori Rongoā, to relieve the suffering caused by sensitive skin and eczema and provide a healthy and natural alternative to mainstream skin care products.
In New Zealand, we are lucky to live among so many native plants that harbour many medicinal healing qualities. Every Frankie product is infused with healing native plants foraged for by hand using traditional techniques. This, along with zero unnecessary fillers like water, alcohols, nasty preservatives or chemicals, is the reason why so many families have seen success with their dry and irritated skin.
My interest in natural skincare began, oddly enough, with a visit to a fertility specialist. I was shocked to hear that many of the products I was using on my skin could be disrupting the delicate balance of hormones in my body. I started scouring online sites and magazines searching for natural alternatives without the added chemicals. I began replacing products laden with parabens and phthalates, among many other chemicals, for natural alternatives, many of which worked just as well if not better. Natural skincare has been a passion ever since.
After looking for a way to turn my passion into a lifestyle, I met Frankie Apothecary founder, Michele Wilson, and now feel blessed that Frankie has been passed to us to continue the journey she started.
Being of Maori descent (Ngati Porou), I love that Frankie Apothecary draws on principles of Rongoa Maori (Maori herbal medicine) and shares the beauty of traditional healing with more people. It’s been one of several paths to reconnect with my heritage and has led me on a journey to grow my knowledge of Rongoa Maori.
Frankie Apothecary was created from a mother’s love when Frankie’s founder, Michele, created our famous Kawakawa Balm to care for her family who suffered with eczema and very sensitive skin. Her daughter Eva's story was such a common one; itchy dry patches on her knees and back led to tears every night, as she would wake with blood on her sheets from scratching so much.
After years of doctor visits, allergy tests, eliminating foods and trying every cream under the sun, Michele was desperate! Determined to bring her daughter some relief, she spent hundreds of hours researching what was working overseas - a process that finally led her back to her own heritage and to embrace Rongoa principles.
With the creation of Frankie’s amazing Kawakawa Balm, Eva's dry, itchy, irritated skin cleared within a week. Skin flare ups were then held at bay with regular applications of the Kawakawa Balm and regular Oat Bath Soaks. The Frankie Apothecary business grew organically from there, with many local parents requesting a pot and before long, word spread throughout New Zealand and beyond.
Our wish is to see every Mum experience the same results with their own children.

OUR GUARANTEE TO YOU
Naked Baby Eco Boutique guarantees that you will be delighted by your shopping experience with us. If you are not happy with any aspect of your purchasing experience, please let us know so we may resolve these issues. Our aim is to not only meet our obligations under the Consumer Guarantees Act, but to exceed our customers’ expectations.
We kindly ask that you carefully take the time to review the Product Descriptions provided to see the details of what you are purchasing. These descriptions will provide further detail than simply looking at the photos (such as if there are any differences from the photo), and also provide information such as whether or not an item is on pre-order (and what the expected delivery time of that pre-order is).
--------------------------------------------------
RETURN POLICY
At Naked Baby Eco Boutique, we don’t actually have a return policy for purchases made at our boutique. We handle returns on a case-by-case basis with the ultimate objective of satisfying the customer. We stand behind our goods and services and want our customers to be satisfied with them. It is our goal to do our best to take care of customers; to deal with them fairly and reasonably. In return, we hope that our customers are fair and reasonable with us, too.
In doing this, we hope to build trust with our customers and create a long-term relationship of mutual respect. Standing behind what we sell is a big part of that. We like to think that many customers choose to shop with us because they know that if their purchase isn’t right, we will work to fix it for them.
Should you wish to initiate a return, please contact: info@nakedbaby.co.nz.
PLEASE NOTE: we do not offer refunds on orders for which you have missed reading in the Product Description that your item(s) are a pre-order. This information is clearly written, in bold, red lettering, and we expect our customers to read all of the details prior to placing an order. We will consider an exchange or store credit, but no cash (or card) refunds will be offered.
Should a return be deemed the best remedy, if you paid by credit card, we will credit your account within 14 days. If you paid by direct banking, we will get in touch for your banking details and credit your account. If you paid by Gift Voucher, a replacement voucher will be issued to you.
For transactions processed via Curate, Laybuy, Afterpay, and Genoapay you will be refunded via the original method of payment, minus the service fee amount (should the return be for change-of-mind). Alternately, you may elect to receive a store credit for the full value. Should a refund need to be issued due to an error on our part, an inventory shortage, or other similar issue, you will be refunded in full via the original payment method (including the service charge). Should you be seeking a refund for a damaged item, and we have offered to provide a new identical item in its place, and you have elected not to take that, your refund will be exclusive of the service fee.
Unfortunately, shipping charges cannot be refunded to you (and return shipping charges are your responsibility). Additionally, in general, our shipping fees cost more than what we charge our customers. Should this be the case on a return, the difference between the cost of the shipping and what the customer paid for shipping will be deducted from the total return amount. If you used a Free Shipping code, the cost of the shipping (to the greater value of what the actual cost to ship the package was or the standard NZ shipping fee) will be deducted from the refund amount.
--------------------------------------------------
COMMON QUESTIONS REGARDING RETURNS
--------------------------------------------------
DO I NEED A RECEIPT FROM MY PURCHASES?
Your receipt or order number helps us to locate your purchase in the fastest way possible. However, if you don’t have a receipt, we should be able to find the purchase in other ways. From time-to-time, we may ask you for more information so we can better assist with your request.
DO YOU TAKE EVERYTHING BACK?
We’ll do our best to take care of you, but from time-to-time, we cannot accommodate a return. Sale (OUTLET) items which have since been discontinued from our collection are only eligible for a store credit. Food and formula cannot be returned, nor can opened packages of nappies or wipes.

We will consider an exchange or store credit, but no cash (or card) refunds will be offered.
IS THERE A TIME LIMIT? WHAT IF THE ITEM IS WORN?
