Kaimū "Nā'ālehu" Shave Soap (Orange) by Hawaiian Shaving Co. 3.5 oz
New!
Nāʻālehu is an area in the Kaʻū district on the southeast slopes of Mauna Loa near the Kaʻū forest reserve. Nāʻālehu is ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi for "the volcanic ashes." The volcanic soil is optimal for growing the renowned Kaʻū orange, a sweet orange with mottled skin. This soap has a sweet orange scent.
Named after the black sand beach on the Big Island of Hawaii that was destroyed by a lava flow from Kilauea volcano in 1990, this black shaving soap looks like the lava in the wrapping, but lathers up white. Kaimū means “Gathering at the sea” in ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi, and was a popular beach famous for its black sand and abundant coconut trees.
About Our Ingredients:
Our vegan black soap is rich in coconut oil and activated charcoal made from coconut husks. We use organic soybean oil to avoid supporting a palm oil industry that drives the deforestation of biodiverse forests, destroys the habitat of endangered species, and converts carbon rich peat soils releasing millions of tons of greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change. We use kukui nut oil, which is high in alpha-linoleic and other fatty acids.
It is practically odorless and easily absorbed in skin. Our kukui nut oil is locally sourced and cold-pressed.
Available with a sustainably harvested Acacia ʻUmeke (bowl) sold separately.
