Island Soap & Candle Works

Hawaii-based Island Soap & Candle Works got its start in 1984 with handmade soaps, eventually branching out to a wide range of natural skincare products. Over the years it has grown considerably to keep up with demand for its tropical products. From its home on Kauai, to gift shops throughout Hawaii, to distribution throughout the United States and the world; Island Soap & Candle Works has certainly come a long way since its inception.

Among its products (which still include handmade Hawaiian soaps and beeswax candles), the brand is revered for its natural Hawaiian Island Botanical lotions, soothing lip balms, and salves. They make use of wholesome ingredients like olive oil, beeswax, aloe, as well as fruit and flower extracts for protective balms that smell as fresh as they feel. In addition to creating all natural skincare products, Island Soap & Candle Works helps the environment through its production cycle. Since 2009, the company has been powering its operations using nothing but solar power. It has also overhauled its packaging to ensure that all materials are recyclable and sustainable.
