The Story of PA'AKAI CLEANSING CREAM

Hawaiian salt is naturally able to balance, protect, and restore the skin. Full of naturally occurring minerals, salt strengthens the skin, improves overall hydration and improves the texture though exfoliation.  Aloalo (hibiscus) is more than just a beautiful flower, hibiscus is a natural source of alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) and help exfoliate skin, control breakouts, and speed up cell turnover. In addition to AHAs, hibiscus contains antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties as well as mucilage, which aids in the plumping of the skin.  Seaweed contains vitamins, minerals, enzymes and amino acids with skin rejuvenating and healing properties. Full of antioxidants, it’s great at promoting tissue regeneration and creating skin elasticity. It’s anti-inflammatory properties make it great for all skin types, but especially for those with sensitive or allergy prone skin.

Best face wash ever!

Years ago, I got a sample of this in a gift and fell in love with it. It wasn't cheap, but it's SO worth every penny (and more!). My skin has never looked better or felt better - and I've lived in 3 vastly different climates since starting to use this (Brooklyn; San Diego; Oahu). Excellent. Plan on using forever.

My favorite skin cleanser

This product feels so good on my sensitive skin. I find myself using it daily and its a refresh. The product is free of chemicals which is essential to me as I'm sensitive to all chemicals. Thank you Honua for making an excellent cleanser!
