Scent of the Islands: Why We Love Keālia Soap

At Hoʻolawa Maui, we’re all about slowing down, tuning in, and surrounding ourselves with things that bring us back to nature. That’s why we carry Keālia Soap — handmade on the Big Island with clean ingredients and the spirit of aloha in every bar.

Crafted using the cold-process method, Keālia’s soaps are rich in moisturizing oils like coconut and olive oil, blended with pure essential oils and Hawaiian botanicals. They’re gentle on the skin, safe for the ‘āina, and just plain beautiful.

Our Current Faves:

🌺 POG (Passion Orange Guava) – A juicy, tropical scent that smells like summer in Hawai‘i. Bright and fruity with notes of fresh passionfruit, orange, and guava.

🌑 POULI (Charcoal + Essential Oils) – Inspired by the stillness of the night, this detoxifying bar is made with activated charcoal and a grounding blend of black pepper, sandalwood, vetiver, and frankincense. Deep, earthy, and calming.

🪵 Sandalwood – A soft, warm, woodsy scent that feels both classic and grounding. Think sunset showers, forest walks, and the peaceful side of island life.

Why We Love Keālia:

• Handmade on the Big Island

• Clean, simple ingredients

• Biodegradable + plastic-free

• No synthetic fragrances or colors

• Woman-owned and rooted in local values

Keālia is more than just soap. It’s a sensory reminder to slow down, take care of yourself, and reconnect with the land. Come smell for yourself — in store or online.
