Lanikai Bath and Body marks 20 years in Kailua

Aug 31, 2026

A family-run Hawaii skin care maker has passed its 20-year mark, a bright spot for small businesses on Oahu's windward side.

  • Lanikai Bath and Body makes natural skin care in Kailua and is still owned and run by one local family.
  • Products are made in small batches, which keeps quality and scent consistent.
  • Scents copy real Hawaii flowers and fruit, like pua kenikeni and mango coconut, and travel-size versions are made for visitors from Japan and the mainland.
  • Loyal customers who move away keep ordering, saying the smell takes them back to the islands.
  • The shop gives back locally through donations to Habitat, veterans groups, and programs for elders.

Outlook: The business is starting its next 20 years with steady repeat demand from both locals and tourists.
