About Island Soap and Candle Works
Island Soap and Candle Works has been making everything by hand on Kauaʻi since 1984, starting in tiny Kekaha. This is where you'll find authentic Kauaʻi gifts that actually get used—not donated. Everything's handmade right here on island with Hawaiian botanicals.
The Surfer's Salve is popular among locals. Keep a tin in your truck year-round for sun-baked skin. Their botanical lotions in scents like Pikake Jasmine and Pineapple Passion Fruit smell like walking through a Hawaiian garden, not synthetic "tropical" versions. Their candles are so fragrant you don't even need to light them—just open the jar and your room smells amazing.
The Kilauea location has plenty of parking and staff who genuinely know their products. Stock up on their creamy soaps—they last forever and make perfect small gifts or wedding favors. The Mango Coconut Guava sets work well for pau hana gifts.
You're supporting a homegrown Kauaʻi business that's been operating for forty years. The 4.9 rating reflects consistent quality whether you're shopping for friends back home or treating yourself.
