Custom Gifting with Intention

Makana: A gift; that which is freely bestowed upon one by another; a present; that which is received gratuitously.
- Hawaiian Dictionary.

Gifting in Hawaiʻi today reflects a native practice woven with the islands’ rich multicultural diversity. To bring or give a makana is to speak the language of aloha—an expression of connection and way of being in Hawai'i.

At Indigenous Soap, we craft each bar by hand—using natural ingredients and lā’au lapa'au, many of them grown here in Hawaiʻi.

These aren’t just soaps—they’re a reminder of what makes Hawaiʻi so special: our deep relationship to the land, our reverence for its gifts, and our belief that everyday rituals can be sacred.

Now available in custom-branded gift sets for businesses and organizations, our soaps are perfect for client appreciation, team recognition, or milestone celebrations. Gifting from Hawaiʻi is more than a gesture—it’s a statement of value, place, and purpose.

Each gift set includes:

• Two full-size Indigenous Soap bars of your choice

• Customizable, sustainable packaging printed with your logo and message

Please allow 4 weeks for us to craft and package your order. Delivery available on Oʻahu, or we ship statewide and to the Continental U.S.

Pricing begins at $18 per box (minimum 100 boxes).

Why It Matters

Choosing gifts from Hawaiʻi is a powerful way to share the beauty and richness of this place with others.

Choosing small-batch, handmade goods is a way to support local makers and traditional knowledge systems.

Our soaps are:

Made by hand in small batches
Infused with essential oils—never synthetic fragrance
Free from preservatives, dyes, and fillers
Made with only herbs and oils that help heal the skin

When you give Indigenous Soap, you’re offering more than a gift—you’re offering a sense of place, a connection to the land, and a moment of peace in someone’s day.

Let’s co-create something that leaves a lasting impression.
