An eczema mum, a doctor and a promise to her daughter.
Personalised skin guidance · Early access · Community-only offers
You have read every ingredient list. You patch-test new products carefully. Ordinary things, like hand wash, laundry powder or certain fabrics, can set your skin off. Nights are broken by scratching, and mornings begin with covering up.
We understand.
Before Védakō was ever a brand, these formulas were shared quietly within our community. Word of mouth carried them across New Zealand, Australia, the UK, Denmark and India, one family telling the next.
"My son was only 7 months old and his chest and face were covered in rashes. We had gone through four prescription creams and every 'natural' balm. We used heal me first and protect me on top. We noticed an improvement the very first night. He slept after months. I cried. In a couple of weeks his skin was calm and clear"*
"My daughter is 5 and has had eczema since she was a baby. Steroid creams worked, but the flares always came back worse.. I hated using them on her face. This is the first thing that kept her skin settled without them. It's been 8 weeks now and we haven't needed the prescription once."*
"I am 28 and have had severe eczema my whole life. I've spent hundreds on products. have a drawer full of them. I only tried this because another eczema mum in our group wouldn't stop talking about it. Her mum got it for her from New Zealand. I had my brother bring jars for me when he visited as it was getting very difficult to manage with a newborn. Few weeks in, my hands looked better than they had in many years. Grateful doesn't begin to cover it. If you have skin issues, just try these. I don't use anything else now."*
Holding her hands away from her skin. Counting the hours until morning. If you are reading this, I suspect you know that exact feeling. The helplessness of watching your child suffer, changes you forever.
We tried everything. The prescriptions offered only temporary fixes, then we tried one natural product after another with no lasting comfort. As a doctor, I refused to accept it. As a parent, I was heartbroken.
So, I had to do it myself and I turned to mother nature. Drawing on ancient botanical wisdom and formulation science, I kept being pulled back to Rongoā Māori and Ayurveda, and fused their timeless wisdom with rigorous research. I would not compromise on sourcing, potency or safety.
These are the formulations that finally changed things for our daughter.*
What began as a promise to my child now quietly brings comfort to families around the world. Védakō was born from a fierce, protective love. If you are still searching, still hoping, and ready to care for your skin differently, Védakō is for you.
The traditional healing system of the indigenous Māori.
The ancient healing system of India, refined over thousands of years.
Bringing them together is not simply mixing ingredients. It is uniting two living philosophies that share one truth: real wellbeing comes from balance between mind, body, spirit and the natural world.
Both traditions see people not as separate from nature, but born of the same elements as the earth.
Wellbeing begins beneath the surface, at the level of spirit and vital energy, not only the skin you can see.
Care that gives back, through daily ritual and a duty to protect the people and places this knowledge comes from.
Meet your skin's two best friends: Heal me and Protect me. Together, they form the Skin Recovery Kit, a complete system designed to adapt to your skin's changing needs.
From deep nourishment to barrier protection, this powerful duo has every stage covered.
A nutrient-dense botanical balm designed to nourish and soothe the skin while supporting its resilience. This lipid-rich formula delivers deep hydration and helps restore comfort.

"Our son had severe red, itchy patches and raw skin all over. He reacts to everything. We patch test obsessively. We tried many natural products as I was reluctant to use steroids again. Some helped momentarily and some made things worse. My sister sent me these creams from NZ as they had helped many families in her community.I wish we had photos of his skin when we started using the creams, it was all red, no normal skin.These miracle creams cleared his skin completely. We have recommended them to everyone with skin problems. My mil now uses them for her rashes n using heal me everyday for maintenance has kept her lifelong skin struggle at bay. Friyan took the time to give us information on a holistic approach and helped us get to the root cause. Her scientific background, understanding of research quality and vast knowledge on healing with intention is like no other. She shared what she knows freely with the sole intention to help others on this path."*
"Our daughter has struggled with flares since she was a baby.These creams cleared her skin other than 1 stubborn patch that was taking longer. I reached out to Friyan and she advised to stop using sorbolene and use the creams based on how my daughters skin was responding and learning to listen to it. She has had clear skin for the 1st time in her life for 7 months (and counting). I was using the balms wrong and they still worked. Its crazy. Knowing that a doctor mum was behind it made me willing to try. And thankthe lord we did. We now use their bath, laundry products. Anything that touches her skin comes from here and her skin has never been better. My baby finally has her childhood back. I am one of many who has pushed Friyan to share all her products with the world. "*
"Thank you for creating these. My baby suffered for many months. Then a mum in our daycare recommended these balms. I sent the pictures to Friyan and she suggested I seek medical help but we had done that a few times and the rashes kept comng back worse. I called her again and requested to try the balms. In 2 days, the redness reduced. He slept better, we were able to go out and live life. I had forgotten what his clear skin looked like and cried when I saw it. My boy is now thriving, rash free because of these products. I have learnt so much from Friyan on how to care for my baby. She empowered us with knowledge so we could advocate for our child. Her holistic, systematic approach helped us navigate the process with ease. We are forever indebited to her"*
