Our Ingredients

We are inspired by our Hawaiian roots and strive to use at least one native Hawaiian herb in all products.  

We source local, fair-trade, organic, raw and wild harvested ingredients.  We choose to utilize raw and wild-harvested ingredients, if possible, due to the mana (energy) that they posses and transfer over.  As our kupuna (ancestors) believed, the mana (energy) that you put in, is reflected in the out come.
