Growing up between Northern California and the Big Island of Hawai’i, my days were spent immersed in nature. Nature was my playground and I understood early on the importance of it for my well being and happiness. As I graduated from making flower pressed clay patties for the fairies to putting clay and flowers on my face, I started to understand the immense healing properties that purely natural ingredients provide. I also started realizing how few companies truly were all natural and in my frustration of reading labels that were full of chemicals posing as “natural” I decided to start making my own skincare. The first question I had was “What local ingredients are available?” and in Hawai’i that meant looking back at what healing ingredients the Hawaiians used. It also meant looking at what the farmers were growing and what is available in abundance in the wild. Now as my family develops our 10 acre farm on the Big Island I also get to ask the question “What can I organically grow for Mahina Sol?”.
Mahina Sol is a company created with nature as the guiding energy and inspiration behind everything we do. We put nature’s well being at the forefront whether it’s the ingredients we use, the packaging for our products or the 100% solar run apothecary where the skincare is made. We want to make a positive impact on the environment and believe every choice we make can do that even down to the skincare we use.
Much Aloha,
