Barrier Body Oil | Kawakawa, Mānuka & Calendula

Description

Restorative Protection for the Whole Body.

This Barrier Support Body Oil is our “liquid gold” standard for daily skin resilience. Designed to cover large areas with ease, it delivers the same botanical power as our intensive balm but in a silky, absorbable form.

Unlike the balm, which creates a solid seal on the surface, this kawakawa oil sinks deep to nourish the skin while leaving a light, breathable shield. It is the perfect balance of hydration and protection, allowing you to treat dry skin from neck to toe without feeling weighed down.

100% Active Potency. We have stripped away the waxes to create a formula that is pure, concentrated plant power. By using our unique Triple Infusion as the base, making up over 80% of the bottle, every drop delivers nutrient-rich support. It applies effortlessly, locking in moisture with a non-greasy, satin finish.

At its heart is a Triple Infusion: Wild-harvested Kawakawa leaves, Mānuka leaves, and Calendula petals, slow-steeped to extract their botanical properties. Finished with a hint of sweet Vanilla.

Why choose this Barrier Body Oil?

- Triple Infused: Contains a high concentration of Kawakawa¹, Mānuka, and Calendula extracts.
- Whole Body Coverage: A fluid texture that glides over large areas like legs and arms instantly.
- Nut Oil Free: Suitable for those with nut allergies (Sunflower & Castor base).
- Satin Barrier: Castor oil creates a light, protective layer against environmental drying.

¹. Kawakawa leaves are double infused for an extra boost.

Key Botanical Ingredients

We use a waterless blend of plant extracts and oils to ensure every drop supports your skin’s condition.

Product Colour - Seasonal Variance

Because Eckco formulas are free from synthetic dyes and optical brighteners, you may notice slight variations in colour from batch to batch. This is the nature of using unrefined, bioactive ingredients.

Factors such as the seasonal harvest of our Kawakawa leaves, the vintage of our cold-pressed oils, can all influence the final golden-green hue. Rest assured, while the colour may shift, the potency and efficacy of your barrier oil remain constant.

Eckco Barrier Balm fresh native Kawakawa leaf and Manuka flowers, highlighting its natural triple-infused ingredients.

How to Use

1. Start with clean skin
Tip: For maximum hydration, apply immediately after a shower while skin is still slightly damp. This helps the oil lock in surface moisture.

2. Warm between palms
Since this is a waterless concentrate, a little goes a long way. Dispense a small amount into your hands and warm between your palms to release the botanical aromatics.

3. Massage into the body
Use long, sweeping strokes to massage the oil into arms, legs, and torso. Focus on areas prone to dryness like elbows, knees, and heels.

4. Reapply if needed
Gentle enough for daily use. Can be used as part of your morning or evening routine, or layered under our Barrier Balm for extra protection on very dry days.
