About KUʻUIPO Soaps and Things

Aloha! I'm the heart behind KUʻUIPO Soaps and Things, a handmade bath and body brand inspired by the islands and rooted in my personal journey.

I was raised in Hawaiʻi and carry with me the spirit of aloha in everything I create. My journey began when I struggled with extremely sensitive skin—so much so that even store-bought face wash would leave me with breakouts or chemical burns. Out of this challenge came a passion: to create gentle, beautiful, and effective products using island-inspired ingredients that I could trust on my skin—and share with others.

Each item is handmade with love here in Texas, blending tropical fragrances, thoughtful ingredients, and a touch of home. From creamy soaps to rich body butters, soothing lotions, gentle scrubs, and nourishing hair care, my goal is to bring a luxurious and safe experience to your everyday routine.

KUʻUIPO means "sweetheart" in Hawaiian—a name that reflects the care and intention behind every product. Whether you’re shopping online, visiting us at a Polynesian festival, or discovering us at a city festival, I hope you feel the aloha in every jar and bottle.

Mahalo for supporting my small business!
