Beloved all-natural Kauai based beauty line Maile Organics recently announced it’s eco-conscious conversion to an all-organic product line. Featuring local ingredients and distillations from the islands, new technology and increased organic supply made the 100% green transition a reality. All ingredients are sustainably grown and products are nontoxic with no petroleum, mineral spirits, sulfates, or parabens.
Launched in 2004, by husband and wife team Shaun and Dana Roberts, the luxury beauty and skin care company, offers ingredients made of the most fragrant flowers and luscious fruits found in paradise. The beauty of the natural elements found throughout the Garden Isle greatly inspire the duo. Every product uses Hawaiian Hydrosols, a process in which flowers are extracted in water, small batches of the plant material are heated and immersed in water, cellular qualities of plant are captured in the resulting steam, vapor transforms back to liquid form and becomes pure hydrosol. The Kahunas, Hawaii’s traditional spiritual medicine practitioners, would call the vibration translated through the hydrosol, the “aloha spirit” of the plant. Malie Organics continues this tradition through pure hydrosol aromatherapy.
Most popular is the Pikake Collection including an organic body cream, body polish, luxe butter soap, organic mist, liquid hand soap, soy candles, and island ambiance reed diffuser. Pikake’s aroma is soft and sexy with a subtle blend of tropical florals and spice. This collection along with the sweetly scented Plumeria Island Ambiance range boasts a notable celebrity fan base including Brooke Burke, Paris Hilton, Penelope Cruz, Tyra Banks, and Oprah.
The Anti-Aging Collection is also a best seller. It’s powered with Hawaiian coffee fruit extract and uses natural elements to reverse signs of aging. An island inspired, eco-friendly version of La Mer if you will, the Hawaiian coffee fruit infused cream is bursting with protective nutrients. The Hawaiian super fruit beholds more antioxidant power than any other fruit source. The anti-aging miracle cream reduces lines, wrinkles, sun damage, and hyper pigmentation for softer, smoother, younger looking skin.
Complimenting collections include Koke’e, Coconut Vanilla, Mango Nectar, Lilikoi Lemongrass, Jasmine Rose, and Kauai Clay. The luxe products can be found at some of the “haut-est” spas across the world or may be ordered a la cart online. Awaken your senses, renew your personal canvas, reduce your carbon footprint, and transcend to a tropical bliss with Maile Organics.
