Island Lure

Malie from Kaua'i

Hydrosols and Hawai

Malie Kaua’i products from the Garden Isle of Kauai, takes advantage of the purest, most fragrant flowers and fruits in the world, found in Kauai’s eco-system. Unique hybrids and variations of these plants, Pikake, Plumeria, Gardenia and Pineapple, are the indigenous ingredient base for the collection of products for the body, spirit and home.


Hydrosols: Each product is handcrafted with Hawaiian Hydrosols - the distinctive ingredient and foundation of the Malie Kaua’i line. Hydrosols contain every component of the featured plant, flower and fruit. The fluid itself, maintains the soul of the plant that circulates through its cellular structure and is captured for personal and environmental enjoyment. A hydrosol is a hologram of the totality of each flower/fruit used. All the benefits of the source product are utilized in each liquid molecule Extracted from only fruits and flowers, Hawaiian Hydrosols are distilled under high pressure using a patented vacuum process that requires very low temperatures in order to keep the active molecules intact. There are no solvents used in this extraction process. During the process, the fruit and/or floral's own natural juices migrate into the plant veins through which the sap circulates, and is enriched with the fruit's sugars, amino acids, vitamins and minerals. This delicate process harvests the “live” ingredients that are compatible with, and ready to be absorbed by, the skin's surface. Moreover, these floral hydrosols effectively promote metabolic activity, including synthesis, stimulation and regeneration.

History: For centuries, Hydrosols have been recognized as a premier healing, rejuvenating and soothing ingredient. Hawaiian Hydrosols are the purest form of the “flower” of the plant, and thereby the purest fragrance therapy available from the earth today. Using the water directly from the springs of the lush tropical rainforests of Kauai and encapsulated through Malie's distillation process, these hydrosols are confidently considered some of nature's purest fragrant essences.

Uses: Hawaiian Hydrosols are a safe and gentle delivery system of nature's bounty. Traditionally, hydrosols are digested when used to treat health problems. Malie's Hawaiian Hydrosols have been developed into an Essential Perfume, Body Lather cleanser, Body Cream moisturizer, Lotion Bar Soap, Body Butter Bar, all to be absorbed through the skin and inhaled in the lungs and nose, allowing the user to consume the therapeutic benefits of the plant. For personal environments, a Room Spray, Linen Mist, Linen Wash, Hand Soap and Dish Soap all have been developed with a Hydrosol base. The experience of a Hawaiian Hydrosol is as refreshing and energizing as smelling the actual flower. Hawaiian Hydrosols are the only available all-flower, natural hydrosols of Gardenia, Plumeria, Pikake and Pineapple.
