Our Native Hawaiian Botanicals: 

TAMANU OIL: Due to its high glycolipids and phospholipids content and its antioxidant properties, it is great at rebuilding skin health. Offers skin regenerative properties. It absorbs rapidly into the skin without any residual oiliness. Traditionally, it was used in other Polynesian cultures to help heal various skin ailments.

KUKUI NUT OIL: Our wild-harvested kukui nut oil is from Maui. Its essence and mana (energy) offer balance for both oily and dry skin. It is loaded with Oleic acid and Linoleic acids, which help to nourish the skin and our body. Known to reduce inflammation, help regenerate skin cells, and moisturize. Traditionally, practitioners used the seed of the Kukui for various external and internal ailments. It was widely mixed with other botanicals.

'ŌLENA (Turmeric): A native Hawaiian ginger that was traditionally valued by Hawaiian lāʻau lāpaʻau (herbal medicine) practitioners as a blood cleanser and for other ailments. Primary benefits come from curcumin, an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant. Known to help calm and restore skin. Our freshly cultivated ʻōlena is from Oʻahu.

Our Wild-Harvest Ingredient: 

KOKUM BUTTER: We use unrefined Kokum butter to preserve its mana (energy) and healing properties. Traditionally, used in India to moisturize and nourish the skin. It's rich in essential fatty acids and vitamin E and has a uniform triglyceride composition to promote the regeneration of the skin.
