In Hawaiian tradition, each lunar phase has its own name, and each brings auspicious powers to people and the planet. Nature makes us wait all year for Mahealani, the most abundant night of the fourth and final full moon. In ancient tradition, this night is devoted to sacred ritual to honor the earth and its bounty and to call forth fortune for the year ahead. Mahealani Moonlit Glow Balm, the richest and creamiest in the collection, formulated to nourish skin and highlight its natural glow.

A base of locally sourced macadamia and kakui nut oils are rich in fortifying essential fatty acids, and native Liliko’i (passionfruit seed) delivers vitamin A, carotenoids and linoleic acid to plump skin’s appearance. Calming chamomile, clearing vetiver and balancing blue tansy soothe skin for a glowing complexion.

Like beautiful moonlight, a little goes a long way. Mahealani can be used at any time of day, but we love her best at night, following The Honua Ritual, as her seductive scent and luxurious texture envelope skin and soul before you drift off to sleep.

HOW TO USE IT

Use nightly and wake up to glowing skin or as a daytime moisturizer for drier skin. Use a pearl-sized amount initially and warm in hands before massaging gently onto cleansed skin and décolleté or wherever skin needs a little extra attention and love, including areas of dryness or burns.
