FAQ

Miracle Manuka by Svens Island is New Zealand’s #1 natural eczema treatment, developed to offer a safe, steroid-free alternative for people suffering from eczema, psoriasis, contact dermatitis, and other inflammatory skin conditions. Unlike conventional steroid creams, which can thin the skin and create a dependency cycle, Miracle Manuka works naturally to restore your skin barrier, calm inflammation, and fight the underlying bacterial imbalance that often triggers flare-ups. It contains organic Manuka Leaf Oil, which has been clinically shown to kill up to 99.99% of Staphylococcus aureus, the bacteria strongly linked to eczema. In addition to its antibacterial properties, Miracle Manuka also soothes irritation, hydrates deeply, and supports natural healing without side effects — making it ideal for babies, children, and adults alike. It’s dermatologist-tested, endorsed by the Eczema Association of New Zealand, and trusted by thousands of families for its proven results.

Miracle Manuka is a 100% natural formulation made with potent, clinically-backed botanicals: • Manuka Leaf Oil (Leptospermum scoparium) — Organic, wild-harvested in New Zealand. This oil is proven to kill harmful staph bacteria that contribute to eczema and other skin infections, while reducing redness and swelling. • Marshmallow Root Extract (Althaea officinalis) — Naturally anti-inflammatory and rich in polysaccharides, marshmallow root soothes itching and forms a protective, moisturizing barrier on sensitive skin. • Palmarosa Oil (Cymbopogon martini) — A gentle, antiseptic oil that balances skin hydration, promotes healing, and improves skin texture. • Beeswax — Locks in moisture and shields skin from irritants without clogging pores, helping repair dry, cracked areas. • Coconut Oil — Deeply moisturizing, antimicrobial, and supportive of healthy skin barrier function. • Kanuka Leaf Oil (Kunzea ericoides) — Related to Manuka, with similar antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties for extra support. • Rosemary Leaf Oil — Natural antioxidant and mild antifungal, promoting skin clarity and resilience. Every ingredient in Miracle Manuka is carefully chosen for its specific, scientifically supported benefits — with no synthetic additives, parabens, petroleum, or steroids.
