Looking for acne-prone skincare in Kenya that brings nourishment and simplicity to your daily routine? Choose Hawi Blackseed Amla Balm for rich botanical moisture, or pair it with Vitamin E-rich Revive & Glow Serum in the Hawi Acne Care Duo for a complete serum-and-butter routine.
Hawi’s approach began with a real need: co-founder Caroline’s experience of recurring acne for more than 15 years. Today, that personal motivation sits behind skincare made to nourish acne-prone skin and support a softer, more even-looking complexion.
Our story: born from need and passion
Nature’s Touch creates uniquely formulated, 100% natural skincare under the Hawi brand for health-conscious women, children and men. Our range brings everyday care to acne-prone and eczema-prone skin, dry and normal skin, and lips.
For co-founder Caroline, the journey began with more than 15 years of acne. Despite trying prescribed treatments, oils and advice from dermatologists, family and friends, periods of relief were often followed by frustrating flare-ups. She wanted a fresh approach centred on wellness and natural skincare.
In 2014, co-founder Diana’s own focus on wellness sparked an interest in personal-care ingredients and natural formulation. She began experimenting with products and sharing samples with friends and family. Their encouragement inspired her to deepen her formulation knowledge.
Together, Caroline and Diana brought personal need and a passion for natural skincare into Hawi: thoughtfully formulated products that nourish the skin, feel good to use and make everyday family care simpler.
Why choose Hawi Blackseed Amla for acne-prone skin?
Choose Hawi when you want targeted moisture, a thoughtful botanical blend and a routine you can keep. Blackseed Amla combines shea butter with black seed, amla, avocado and other nourishing oils in one rich balm, handcrafted in Kenya.
Rich moisture without a complicated routine
Acne-prone skin still needs moisture. Shea butter forms the rich base of the balm, helping soften dry areas and keep skin feeling supple. Beeswax helps seal in moisture, while the oil blend adds nourishment. A pea-size amount is the recommended starting point for facial application.
Black seed: a botanical with acne-focused research
Black seed, also called Nigella sativa, is more than a name on the label. It has been investigated in topical skincare for acne, including a controlled study reporting improvements with a black-seed hydrogel. That ingredient research makes it a relevant botanical to explore for acne-prone skincare; the study tested a different formulation from Hawi’s balm.
Amla and nourishing oils in one blend
Amla is a botanical studied for its polyphenol compounds. In Blackseed Amla, amla macerated oil joins black seed, avocado, grape seed and coconut oils within a shea-based formula designed to moisturize and support a more even-looking complexion. Choose the finished blend for the combination of nourishment, softness and everyday care rather than buying several separate oils.
Care for uneven-looking tone and dark spots
Blackseed Amla is positioned to help improve the appearance of dark spots and blemishes over time. If you want a paired routine, the Vitamin E-rich Revive & Glow facial oil serum adds lightweight moisture before the butter, supporting a healthy-looking glow.
A natural pine scent
Pine leaf oil contributes the balm’s distinctive natural scent. Pine oils and compounds such as alpha-pinene have also attracted laboratory research into antimicrobial activity. In this daily routine, the focus remains nourishing skin and supporting a more even-looking complexion.

Blackseed Amla alone or the Acne Care Duo?
Choose the balm if you want one moisturizing step
Blackseed Amla Balm 100ml fits an existing routine when you want a rich moisturizer for acne-prone skin and uneven-looking tone. Apply a pea-size amount to clean facial skin as directed. The 100ml size comes in an aluminium tin.
Choose the duo for serum and butter together
The Hawi Natural Acne Care Duo pairs Revive & Glow Facial Serum 30ml with Blackseed Amla Butter 100ml. Choose it for an easy two-product morning-and-evening routine: serum first, then butter to seal in moisture.
The serum combines Vitamin E with sunflower, grape seed, moringa and baobab oils. It moisturizes dull, dry-looking skin and supports care for uneven-looking tone. The serum comes in a glass bottle and the butter in an aluminium tin.
Your Acne Skincare Routine
Make consistent care a daily habit. Give your routine time and notice how your skin responds over the coming weeks. Individual results and timing vary.
- Cleanse gently. Wash your face and other breakout-prone areas with a gentle, unscented soap or cleanser your skin tolerates. Pat dry gently.
- Apply serum first. Massage two drops of Revive & Glow Serum gently over the face and affected areas, following the product directions.
- Follow with butter. Press a pea-size amount of Blackseed Amla Butter gently over the serum on the face to help seal in moisture and leave skin nourished.
- Repeat morning and evening. Follow the routine after your morning and evening face wash, introducing new products gradually.
Before first use: patch-test. Blackseed Amla contains pine essential oil and cayenne macerated oil; cayenne may irritate sensitive or broken skin. Stop use if irritation occurs and follow any prescribed skincare directions.
Shop the Acne Care Duo and start your routine.
Six everyday habits from Caroline’s journey
- Consistency is key. Use the products at least twice daily for 30 days, following their directions, to build a steady moisturizing habit. Your skin renews continuously: scientific reviews estimate full epidermal turnover at around 40–56 days, or roughly 6–8 weeks, although estimates vary with age and how renewal is measured. Keep your routine consistent beyond the first month; this renewal timeframe is not a deadline for acne or dark-spot results. Read the research on epidermal renewal.
- Keep water within reach. Make drinking water a regular part of your day alongside your moisturizing routine.
- Enjoy varied meals. Support everyday wellbeing with variety rather than rigid beauty rules.
- Make time to unwind. Choose manageable habits that help you relax.
- Keep skincare simple. Gentle cleansing, appropriate moisture and consistency are easier to maintain than constant product changes.
- Prioritize regular rest. Build an evening routine that leaves time to wind down.

Why choose Hawi instead of buying separate botanical oils?
