How Ua Hawai’i Founder Honors the Land Through Beauty

How Ua Hawai’i Founder Honors the Land Through Beauty

Yvon Lux

In Hawai‘i, rain is more than weather. It is renewal, nourishment, and life itself. This quiet power inspired Ua Hawai‘i, the island-born bodycare and fragrance brand rooted in heritage, sustainability, and intention. Founded by Leala Humbert, Ua Hawai‘i continues a deeply personal legacy that began years ago with her mother’s handcrafted skincare, made lovingly at home.

Today, she carries that tradition forward through small-batch products that honor the land, respect culture, and celebrate simplicity. From native ingredients to conscious production practices, Ua Hawai‘i reflects a philosophy that beauty should feel thoughtful, grounded, and connected to place.

Juneteenth commemorates the end of slavery in the confederate states on June 19, 1865. Although the Emancipation Proclamation ended slavery in 1863, it would take two more years for this news to reach the deepest parts of the South. This coming Monday, June 20, 2022, will be the second Juneteenth officially recognized as a federal holiday in the U.S.

As a minority-owned media outlet, we fully support small and family-owned businesses. Our gift guides mainly focus on fresh small businesses and trending family-owned brands.

In observance of Juneteenth, we celebrate by recognizing the following incredible Black-owned brands. They are created by fearless and inspiring business owners and innovators.
