Enjoying Island Essence on Maui

Made in Hawaii, since 1990

Established in 1990, Island Essence was one of the first of its kind to create spa treatments from the essences and fragrances of the Hawaiian Islands.

Today Island Essence is still a family-owned company, operating in Maui and powered by women. At our factory, we are either Hawaiian and/or born in Hawaii and the Pacific Islands. We love to share the beauty of Hawaii with the world through our handcrafted premium spa, bath and beauty products.

Supporting the Community

Giving Back

It is now a year since the devastating Maui Wildfires and our island and businesses here are still in recovery mode.

We have created Maui Miracle Oil Gold which offers Hawaiian beauty benefits from all four of our best selling miracle oils: healing Tamanu, nourishing Kukui, soothing Coconut and hydrating Moringa. Maui Miracle Gold is organic, all natural, and only scented with essential oils--and we are donating $1 with each bottle sold to Maui Wildfire Recovery projects and charities that support the people of Maui.

As a company, we still support local schools, Women Helping Women (helping families affected by domestic violence) and the Pacific Cancer Foundation.

Now, more than ever, we appreciate our customers--thank you for shopping small with us here in Maui.
