PASADENA, CALIF.—LATHER has unveiled its new, highly anticipated line of custom bath and spa products available only at Four Seasons Resort Hualalai. Dedicated to providing guests with an authentic Hawaiian experience, LATHER created Makana Honua, which translates to “gifts of the earth”—a fitting name for the line of products derived from the abundance of the island’s nutrient-rich lands.
“LATHER is overjoyed to bring guests everything Hawaii has to offer, both culturally and agriculturally,” says LATHER founder Emilie Hoyt. “We custom created this product line to celebrate Hawaiian culture and bring guests a true taste of what ‘Aloha’ means to us.”
Formulated with Hawaiian extracts and oils—including macadamia nut oil, coconut oil, Awapuhi extract, pineapple extract, aloe leaf extract, chamomile extract and marigold extract—each ingredient lends a delectable, soothing scent and provides nourishment to the skin and hair. The three key ingredients in Makana Honua include:
Organic Lehua Blossom Honey: The first flowers to sprout from lava rock—and rooted in a Hawaiian legend of love and fidelity—this indigenous plant was made into a white, crystallized honey, quenching hair and skin in hydration.
Ground Kona Coffee: The dark, rich volcanic soil of the islands contains the perfect blend of acidity and minerals to grow the highly sought-after Kona beans; they are handpicked and steeped in natural benefits. The coffee is rich in antioxidants and exfoliating properties to deeply purify and reveal a glowing complexion.
Hawaiian Deep Sea Salt: Over 2,000 feet below the turbulent ebb and flow of the Pacific Ocean, there lies a pure, uncorrupted layer of water from a melted polar ice cap. After a slow migration through the Pacific Basin, the salt water reaches Hawaii’s shores—and is then siphoned up to reveal the gorgeous, flaky salt crystal filled with detoxifying, healthy minerals perfect for cleansing and detoxifying the skin.
