Product Questions

I can't I find a product I ordered before?
We occasionally discontinue items. They are removed from the web site only when we are completely sold out. The good news is that when we discontinue something, we usually introduce exciting new products about the same time.

Where are the fragrances I saw in your store in Kilauea?
Our store produces much smaller soap batches and therefore has more freedom to create a larger range of fragrances. If you want to order a specific fragrance from them you are welcomed to call them at (808) 828-1955 or email at kilauea@islandsoap.com.

How do I know what the fragrance smells like?
We try to provide vivid descriptions of the wonderful tropical fragrances available in our products. However, if something is unfamiliar to you we suggest that you consider buying the smallest size of that product first. If you like it (we know you will) then you can buy the larger size next time.

I’m not sure what to get. What are your most popular products?
We have a page on our web site that has recommended collections of our most popular products to make your decision easier. Just click here to visit our Best Sellers page.

Is there lead in your wicks?
No. We use either a zinc core or a tightly wrapped paper core in all of our wicks, neither of which have any traces of lead.

Are your products really made in Hawaii?
The only products that we don’t make ourselves are some of the candle and soap accessories items. Even some of these are made by local artisans. All other products we make right here at our factory on Kauai.
