About

Our Values

We support local.

We believe in supporting local businesses when possible. When you support local you are supporting the dreams and livelihoods of people that are part of your community. At Arnikawa we use New Zealand business for all our ingredients and packaging. It is our way of supporting the local economy and the businesses that are real, genuine people who whole heartedly believe in the business they are running.

We believe in giving back.

Each month we donate 5% of our profits to Arthritis New Zealand, who support people dealing with reduced mobility and pain, and the SPCA, who provide a safe haven for abandoned and abused animals.

Natural means natural.

We only use 100% natural ingredients and the purest essential oils that will truly benefit your skin. No chemicals, fillers, fragrance, or artificial ingredients.

We strive to keep waste to a minimum.

We use recyclable materials wherever possible. All our products are in glass bottles or jars and our post bags and packaging are biodegradable.

Made in New Zealand.

All our products are handmade in New Zealand in small batches to ensure the quality of each batch. And because we don’t use fillers or lots of water in our products, our products are effective in small quantities and a little goes a long way.

We never test on animals.

 

So what's different about Arnikawa, why should you try our products?

We made these products with a focus on high quality ingredients and maximising the therapeutic benefits each one could give. Through the power of combining the right ingredients at the right quantities, I was able to create formulas that work really well and give great results.

All our products are completely natural, exceptionally pure and organic where possible. They are meticulously sourced from New Zealand and around the globe focusing on the quality, purity and potency of our ingredients.

Our Story

Greetings! I’m Cindy, the visionary behind Arnikawa. Nestled in the picturesque Bay of Plenty, I share my home with my loving husband and our two furry companions. My journey into holistic healing began with a deep passion for natural remedies, but it was a life-altering accident that propelled me into a fervent pursuit of wellness.

After the accident, I battled chronic back pain and relied heavily on various anti-inflammatory medications and creams to manage the constant discomfort. As time went on, I grew increasingly concerned about the harmful chemicals in these conventional products and their detrimental effects on my health.

Did you know, that regular use of some anti-inflammatory creams can elevate the risk of heart attacks and strokes by up to 40%?

This realization prompted me to seek out natural alternatives, motivated by a strong desire to prioritize my well-being.

I learned that our skin absorbs about 60% of what we apply, with many substances entering our bloodstream.

Aware of the significant chemical exposure I was enduring, I set out on a mission to find natural solutions to help manage my chronic pain and address related health issues such as sleep disturbances, elevated cortisol (our stress hormone), and the emotional highs and lows that accompany the journey of chronic pain and its side effects.

That’s how Arnikawa came to life. Through extensive research, hands-on experimentation, and multiple training courses guided by a seasoned aromatherapist, I developed a line of products to naturally address my pain, high stress levels, and sleep challenges. Our collection now includes an exceptional muscle balm, a cooling roll-on pain relief gel, a magnesium oil, and a range of therapeutic aromatherapy roll-ons—all meticulously crafted from pure botanicals and essential oils to support emotional wellbeing.

As I experienced the transformative power of these natural remedies first hand, I felt compelled to share them with others. Arnikawa is now a brand synonymous with holistic pain relief and wellness, designed to empower individuals to embrace a life of vitality and well-being.

My greatest hope is that our Arnikawa products become trusted companions on your wellness journey. May our products provide you with the relief you need to fully enjoy life’s precious moments. Thank you for joining me on this transformative journey toward holistic health. Together, let’s celebrate the power of nature to heal, restore, and uplift. Welcome to the Arnikawa family!
