Product Overview

EneSoothe® MIX-KAVA is a botanical neuro-soothing active inspired by the calming properties of Kava. By supporting GABA-mediated skin calming pathways, it helps regulate sensory discomfort, reduce skin sensitivity, and restore long-lasting comfort for sensitive skin.

Plant Source

Across the islands of the South Pacific, Piper methysticum (Kava) has been cherished for centuries as more than a botanical—it is a symbol of welcome, harmony, and relaxation. In Vanuatu, the birthplace of kava culture, sharing a bowl of kava is a time-honored tradition that helps calm the body and mind after physical or emotional stress.

Inspired by this unique botanical heritage, EneSoothe® MIX-KAVA brings the calming philosophy of Kava into modern skincare. Rich in naturally occurring kavalactones, Kava helps support GABA-mediated neuro-sensory pathways to promote skin comfort and relieve sensations of burning, stinging, and itching associated with sensitive skin. Opuntia streptacantha complements the formula with soothing, antioxidant, and skin-repairing properties, helping restore comfort and resilience to stressed skin.
