Mailelani strives to offer nothing but the best of the Islands of Samoa. Family-owned and run, our products are handmade with organic, cold-pressed coconut oil and other fresh ingredients from our local farmers. Our story begins in 2000 with one fragrance-free, coconut oil soap, and continues with the range of products you see today.

It is a coconut story of trial and error, patience, faith and endurance. A wonderful journey that we are blessed to be on and hope that you will discover along with us.
It is for people who have travelled to our tropical island and long for those tropical island memories or those who just want a piece of the Samoan Islands in their home. For people with sensitive skin, natural skincare lovers, supporters of sustainable and ethical businesses, friends of nature and those who are just looking for something new, Mailelani is for you.

A real tropical smoothie for your skin!

Kiti and Sylvie started their skincare venture without a clue of where or how to start. All they knew was that they were in Samoa for a reason, Samoa had potential and coconut oil was a GOOD THING.

It wasn’t always easy, Kiti didn’t know what he was doing at first but he was determined to do it, and do it well!
After 2 years of experimenting with local ingredients, our first soap was released in the year 2000.

It was just one simple, fragrance-free soap but this was the beginning of something much bigger than we ever thought possible.

20 years later, here we are with an entire skin care range available world wide.
