As patrons and customers who are surrounded by scented products, beauty or body related, or otherwise, we are barraged with an assault on our olfactory abilities. More often than not these volleys of smell are labeled ‘Fragrance’ with no more explanation than that. Here is an exercise for the unbelieving, go grab your favorite body and/or cosmetic products. Look at the back label of ingredients. If you’ve made the conscious choice to support companies who use natural products you’ll find that the essential oils, etc. used to create, smell are generally listed. If you support larger companies who as yet still try to outwit Nature you’ll notice only the word ‘Fragrance’ or chemical derivations.

As a consumer you have the unique opportunity to show your support or lack thereof with every single penny that you put into purchasing a product. This article doesn’t seek to convert the reader to a granola hippie lifestyle. It only seeks to ask you some important questions about what you want:

Do you want to support smaller and/or more Nature conscious companies who list their fragrance-giving ingredients?

Do you want to spend the extra money to support a true perfume Artisan, who makes their own formulas?

Do you want to know what you’re putting on your body day after day?

If your answer was yes or at least that you were curious about this, why not check your local area to see if there are those who make their own body products? Or maybe this will peak your curiosity enough to learn more on your own.

Or just maybe it’s why you’re here at Haumea Botanicals.com

Just a few of my own Essential Oils

Chun Pei Mui candy from China Town or Crack Seed is delicious to eat but if you ever want a reminder of that smell try Amyris Sandalwood Essential Oil. You may not want to smell like Chun Pei Mui but it will definitely put a smile on your face if you’re far from home.

Lei Shops are all around Hawai’i.  From the moment you walk into a lei shop the scents of all the leis inside wash over you, as if to welcome you in unison. Bergamot Essential captures this scent even though it is a light citrus top note.

Mango doesn’t have an essential oil however, Juniper Berry Essential Oil (in the right amount) can smell just like fresh cut Mango.

Pikake is a type of Jasmine. Jasmine essential oil blend (Jasmine Essential Oil/Absolute is very expensive) can be a wonderful addition to most body products.

Kukui Nut leaf in my Garden bird bath.

Kukui Nut oil still remains labour intensive and can be quite pricey. So if you would like to try this I’d recommend finding a wholesaler to purchase your own Kukui Nut oil. Below is a basic recipe I personally use and recommend for anyone who wants to try something new. Please remember to do a spot check before using any new body product. Also, because this does contain oil please be careful as your tub or sink may become slippery.

Basic Soft* Kukui Nut Oil Scrub:

1. Gather approx. 1-2 cups plain oats, 2-3 sprigs of Rosemary (or a couple dashes of Rosemary), 1 cup of Water, 1/4 cup Kukui Nut Oil.
2. Put the kettle on with the water and sprigs of Rosemary. Keep on low heat to let steep.
3. Place oats in a blender.
4. Let the Rosemary tea steep until the water is no longer clear. (But not too dark a tea!)
5. Pour warm Rosemary tea, sprigs and all, onto the oats in the blender.
6. Cover blender and put on medium for 10-30 seconds until well blended.
7. Add a little Kukui Nut Oil and blend on low. Repeat until the scrub is smooth but not runny.

*My personal scrub is done with Pa’akai (Hawaiian Sea Salt) not oats, which is fine for my body, but can be much too rough for most people.

Some of the body products in this line include a Kukui Nut Balm, a Pa’akai (Hawaii Sea Salt) Scrub, and a Kukui Nut Massage Oil.

A Solid Lotion with one of our Hapu'u fern in the background.

The ingredients are simple and are not scented with Essential Oils not found in Hawaii.  Many of our other products are scented with Essential Oils from all over the World, but it was my goal to create something simple and completely Hawaiian.  I hope those who choose to try this line can feel the Mana (power) in these ingredients.

Wax Melt on an electric candle warmer.

Wax Melts also come in a Magickal variety with Spell Melts, the fire and smoke free way to conduct your spells*.  Simply set the Spell Melt on your electric candle warmer and let it slowly release it’s scent into the air as you cast circle, pray, or celebrate the seasons.

Enjoy!

Some feel that the Natural way of doing things takes too long and isn’t good for that ‘quick fix’.  However, ask yourself–How many times a day, a week, a month do you use that quick fix cosmetic?  And how many years have you been using it?  Here at Haumea Botanicals we try to provide a different way of caring for yourself than the status quo.  And honestly, even if a company provides you a 20 year study, can that really compare to centuries of use by Native Peoples around the World?  Go Green, Go Natural, Go Healthy.

If you’re anything like me you want to Honor your God(s)/Goddess(es) without having to run the risk of setting your sacred space, or home on fire.  Candles, safe in the hands of mindful adults, have been the choice of many people in many religions as tools of thoughtful devotion.  This can present a problem for many Modern Pagans, or indeed most people now-a-days, because keeping a watchful eye on a burning candle is increasingly difficult with all the responsibilities and distractions in our daily lives.  In fact, according to the National Fire Protection Association from 2003-2007 an average of 42 home candle fires were reported per day.  While these figures have gone down since that time, statistics don’t make much difference to someone who’s had their home damaged by fire or even burnt to the ground.

This is why my latest practical products include, Spell Bars and Altar Sprays.

Spell Bars are based on the same basic formula as my Scented Solids but the essential oils used to make them correspond to different intents.  Also, since Spell Bars are solid lotions you need only warm them in your hand and apply to your skin*.  Now instead of burning different herbs on charcoal blocks or candles, you can bless and/or charge a Spell Bar.  A Spell Bar gives Witches and Pagans a way to carry out their spell or working while still adhering to the principle of releasing the energy to do it’s business.  The bar will slowly melt away as you use it, freeing the energy to complete it’s task.  Best of all it’s discrete, fire-free, and compact.

Altar Sprays are something that I’m particularly proud of, as I’ve been using them for a while and can now finally share them.  It’s a wonderful combination of Hawaii Water and various essential oils.  Simply spritz the Altar Spray over or around your sacred space, after shaking the bottle vigorously.  You can use this as an alternative to smudging or burning incense if you are cleansing or purifying your space.  Another great way to Honor your God(s)/Goddess(es) is to use these sprays as offerings that don’t smoke up the room.  For myself, I like that I don’t have to worry about my cats knocking over a devotional candle or a strong wind tossing embers and ash off of a charcoal block.  I think this is perfect for Pagan families who want to include their children in ritual but hesitate because of access to an open flame.

My new Magickal Lines are designed with the Modern Pagan or Witch in mind.  These products are made to give Witches and Pagans options with regards to how, when, and where we practice our own faith paths while taking into account our very modern lives.

Lady Bless,
