How to Build a Natural First Aid Kit

At 'Ohana Organics, we believe in the healing power of nature, which is why we’ve carefully crafted products that provide both everyday skincare relief and natural remedies for various skin concerns. A well-stocked first aid kit doesn’t just have to contain harsh chemicals or artificial products—it can be filled with holistic, organic solutions that not only treat injuries and skin issues but also nurture and care for your skin naturally.

Many over-the-counter first aid supplies contain synthetic ingredients and chemicals that may cause irritation or adverse reactions for some people. By opting for natural remedies, you can avoid harmful additives and give your skin the gentle, effective care it deserves. Plus, many plant-based ingredients offer powerful healing properties that can speed up recovery and soothe discomfort.

At 'Ohana Organics, we’ve created a line of products that are perfect for your natural first aid kit. Whether you're dealing with scrapes, burns, rashes, or general skin dryness, these essential items will keep you prepared for the unexpected.

1. Da Kine Salve

Our Da Kine Salve is the ultimate first aid companion. This rich, soothing balm is packed with certified organic ingredients, including comfrey, plantain, aloe, calendula, and lavender, all known for their skin-healing properties. Whether you’re dealing with minor cuts, bruises, bug bites, or skin irritation, Da Kine Salve helps speed up the healing process and promotes healthy skin regeneration. The beeswax and olive oil in this salve provide deep hydration while protecting the skin from further environmental stressors. It’s a must-have for your kit!

How to Use: Apply a small amount to the affected area and gently massage until absorbed. Reapply as needed, especially after cleansing or exposure to irritants like sun or saltwater.

2. First Aid Spray

Our First Aid Spray is fast-acting, designed to clean and soothe skin without drying it out. With ingredients like witch hazel, it provides a cooling and calming effect, perfect for minor cuts, scrapes, and even bug bites. This spray is easy to carry around for on-the-go use and provides quick relief when you need it most.

How to Use: Spray directly onto the affected area, holding the bottle about 6 inches away from the skin. Allow it to dry naturally or gently pat with a clean towel.

3. Kava Butter (Balm and Whipped)

For those times when your skin needs extra nourishment, our Kava Butter is the perfect remedy. The powerful combination of kava root and shea butter makes this balm incredibly soothing for dry, cracked, or irritated skin. It provides a barrier to lock in moisture and encourages healing for sore muscles, sunburns, rough patches, or post-tattoo care.

How to Use: Gently massage into the affected area, especially on areas of dry or irritated skin. It can also be applied to calluses, elbows, and knees for extra moisture and relief.

4. Bug Balm

When you’re enjoying the great outdoors, keeping bugs at bay is essential. Our Bug Balm is a natural solution that uses beeswax, olive oil, and essential oils to repel insects while providing relief from bites and stings. It’s a must-have for your outdoor adventures!

How to Use: Apply a thin layer to exposed skin before heading outdoors. After insect bites, apply directly to soothe the area and reduce inflammation.

5. Handi Sani

Keeping your hands clean and free of harmful germs is an essential part of maintaining overall skin health. Our Handi Sani is a natural hand sanitizer made with witch hazel, Non GMO Alcohol, and essential oils. This formula cleans and refreshes without drying out your skin, making it perfect for frequent use. It’s a great addition to your natural first aid kit to ensure that your hands stay clean and free from germs while providing a nourishing touch to your skin.

How to Use: Apply a small amount to your hands and rub together until absorbed. Use as needed to cleanse and refresh your hands when soap and water aren’t available.

When building your first aid kit, it’s essential to include products that address a range of skin issues—from minor cuts and scrapes to burns, rashes, and insect bites. We recommend the following essentials for an all-natural, effective first aid kit:

• Da Kine Salve (for cuts, rashes, and skin irritations)
• First Aid Spray (for cleaning and soothing)
• Kava Butter (for sore muscles, dry, cracked skin or sunburns)
• Bug Balm (to prevent and soothe bug bites)
• Handi Sani (for on-the-go hand cleaning and refreshing)

These products are gentle yet powerful, made with organic, plant-based ingredients that you can trust for all your skin needs. Keeping these natural remedies in your home, car, or hiking bag will ensure that you’re always prepared for whatever life throws your way.
