HONUA HAWAIIAN SKINCARE
EARTH, LAND, FOUNDATION Mama Honua (Mother Earth) is the heart of our company and where our botanicals are born. Our products are filled with Hawaiian botanical magic, so we decided to give credit to the true creator of our skincare line.
ALOHA DAILY Honua offers a new experience in skincare. Our daily facial ritual not only transforms skin, but allows customers to experience a touch of aloha daily. From formulation to production, we incorporate the spirit of aloha and it shows in our products. We share this special message on the inside of every Honua box so that our customers can also incorporate aloha in to their daily lives. The “Honua Glow” is contagious and is attributed to both the daily care of the skin and soul!
TRADITIONAL WISDOM: FROM THE ROOT Our innovative products combine traditional Hawaiian healing botanicals and methodologies, with modern skincare technology. Focusing on the root cause of major skin conditions, we have developed a single line for all skin types.
THE LĀ’AU Our “lā’au” or Hawaiian healing botanicals, are the reason we are able to effectively treat the skin without the use of lab created chemicals. Some of these superstars are, ‘Olena, Noni, Alo Alo, Kukui, Kamani, Kalo, Wai Niu, ‘Awa and Laukahi. These skin loving lā’au are filled with vitamins, minerals phytonutrients and fatty acids, and are some of the most potent antioxidants available. We believe that some of the magic also lies in the soil where these plants are grown, so our ingredients are sourced from as many Hawai‘i farms as possible.

The four items above are:
- MALU - Sunscreen Face Cream
- LIHAU - Facial Mist
- HIBISCUS - Beauty Booster
- MAHEALANI - Glow Balm
This sunscreen lotion is my fave among all of the product (it is very difficult to find a suncreen product who does not make my skin reactive - I normally get breakout/red bumps). the texture is like lotion, very comfortable and light, not too greasy. The smell is like heaven for sunscreen, nothing metallic (maybe just a hint). This is a mineral suncreen that I feel does not clog my pores. LOVE it!
This serum reminds me of Osea Hyaluronic serum, which is very comparable. The texture is gel like and a bit sticky during application but very quickly absorp into the skin and leaving is soft and moisturized. It does not have any stinging fragrance and make the skin feels very comfortable.
Just as its name, this is a balm textured product. It has blue tansy, and I know some people's skin not a fan, which can cause acne. Even with my combo skin, I do not have any problem with that, I like this balm, meind me of May Lindtrom Blue Coccoon (it still my favevorite balm/oil product and it smellls incredible). However, this product is comparible, I am not a fan of the texture, I feel even after you warm it up by rubbing it in your palms, the oil is acting like dry-oil, but, it is very powerful and doing a great job in keeping you skin hydrated and glowy throughout the day. Perhaps, I should try this as bedtime moisturizer, I think I am going to love it more.
This last product is my least favorite from all the products I tried. I am not a big fan of the smell and when I spray it on my face, some product that got sprays close to my eyelid leaving a bit of uncomfortable feeling (almost like burn abit). The spray doesn't do a good job in leaving a mist, it feels more like someone spray yourfave with a mini watergun lol.
