Using the same healing formula as our regular Coconut Māmaki Balm, this special ʻIliahi version uses 100% pure Hawaiian Sandalwood essential oil to add the rich woodsy scent and additional skin-healing and calming properties.
Sandalwood is known for its deep and contemplative aroma, which is why it’s been used in religious and spiritual practices around the world for centuries.
Made in Kauai from organic coconut + olive oil and local beeswax, infused with our farm-grown mamaki (Hawaiian nettle) with essential oils of with the precious essential oil of Hawaiian Sandalwood as well as a small amount of our signature lavender, copaiba and frankincense blend. The more māmaki we grow, the more habitat there is for the pulelehua to thrive. Traditionally used as a tea, antioxidant-loaded māmaki is an endemic Hawaiian nettle that we grow and infuse in the balm for its clean, skin-soothing properties.
Purchasing this product helps the native Kamehameha Butterfly (pulelehua) who uses mamaki as its host plant. This ʻIliahi edition also supports the Hawaiiani Sandalwood reforestation project (the biggest in the history of Hawaiʻi) on the Kealakekua Mountain Reserve on Hawaiʻi Island.
The oil is only harvested from already fallen or dead trees to prevent overharvesting, which decimated the native forests in the past. Native insects like the yellow-faced bees are attracted to the ‘Iliahi flowers, another reason why we love supporting native plant regeneration.
