Mailelani is an expression of the abundant blessings Polynesians have enjoyed for generations. Like the coconut itself, we see Mailelani as a gift from heaven. That’s what our name means. For us, creating our natural skincare products and making it available to you is a mission – something good for everyone involved.
More than a business, more than skincare
Mailelani is more than a business and our products are more than just pure natural skincare. Of course the product quality has to be great – we’ll never compromise on that. We want you to love these natural skincare products, to enjoy the health benefits of coconut oil on skin. The team at Mailelani are inspired to share the pure natural qualities of our organic coconut oil with people everywhere. To let you enjoy the skincare benefits of coconut oil as well as the delightful fragrances of our tropical flowers and spices.
Exporting Mailelani skincare products is our way to promote our beautiful islands to the world. At the same time, we want to help the people of our islands earn a sustainable living, ethically creating of a product that is true to its origins as well as respectful of nature. That’s why we only use natural processes. That’s why every Mailelani product is handmade. That’s why we don’t do everything ourselves – we let the local people do what they know best.
The coconuts are ethically sourced from farmers on the Samoan islands of Upolu and Savaii. The key production step of extracting the virgin coconut oil is also performed in the rural areas of these islands, by people working in their own homes and villages. As a way to share the bounty of Mailelani, we buy the organic coconut oil from them and simply do the final step of turning their raw products into natural skincare products. The villagers receive maximum benefits for their product. It offers a sustainable source of income and better living standards.
Two people, one dream
Mailelani is the life’s work of Kitiona and Sylvie Salanoa – one a native of Samoa, the other from Switzerland. The two of us met through mission work overseas, a match made in heaven. While our life and work took us to many countries over the years, we always knew we would one day return to Samoa and open a business, to give back to the people we love. We tried a number of ideas, but the enthusiastic response to our first coconut oil soap made it clear that this was the right way to go. Kitiona taught himself how to make soaps.
The first Mailelani organic coconut soap was released in 2000. Experimenting with other local ingredients, we added fresh papaya, koko Samoa, honey, noni juice, lime, lau ti, avocado and tamanu oil to our products. Everything is handmade and packaged in Samoa. Working with the technical assistance of a chemist in New Zealand, Mailelani now offers a wide range of organic coconut oil skincare products.
