Why Sesame Seed Oil Works for Everyday Skin and Tattoos

Used for centuries in Ayurvedic practice, cold-pressed sesame seed oil is one of the few oils with a natural affinity for human skin. Rich in essential fatty acids and antioxidants, it helps skin stay soft, resilient, and luminous. Its lightweight structure absorbs deeply, making it ideal for daily use on face, body, and tattooed skin without feeling greasy.

Healthy Skin = Bright Ink

Ink lives inside your skin. Feed it right and it shows. Kavai's cold-pressed sesame oil penetrates deeper than water-based lotions, delivering natural anti-inflammatory nutrients that calm redness, reduce inflammation, heal fresh tattoos faster, and keep healed ink bold and luminous for tattooed and non-tattooed skin alike.

From New Zealand to Ayurveda

Our Story

Raised on New Zealand’s rugged coasts, our founder Ana learned early to trust nature first. While backpacking through India, she experienced the Ayurvedic ritual of abhyanga, a warm self-massage using cold-pressed sesame oil that has been revered for thousands of years. Her skin felt calm, nourished, and balanced, and her tattoos looked noticeably more vibrant. That moment planted the seed for Kiwi Glow.

Back home, Ana began hand-blending small batches of sesame oil, refusing synthetic fillers, harsh preservatives, or animal testing. Friends shared, tattoo artists took notice, and Kiwi Glow grew into a woman-owned, cruelty-free skincare brand rooted in simplicity and intention. Every bottle is crafted to deliver pure, sesame-powered moisture for everyday skin and tattooed skin alike, helping you glow naturally from first drop to last.

Revive, protect & brighten your ink the natural way.
