Awapuhi Mango Face Serum

Nourish your skin and support its natural microbiome with our Awapuhi Mango Face Serum. Fresh Awapuhi (Hawaiian Shampoo Ginger) juice meets naturally fermented mango vinegar to create a raw, living elixir packed with enzymes, probiotics, and acetic acid, the natural component that helps gently tone, balance pH, and restore skin vitality. Unlike lab-made isolates such as hyaluronic acid, this serum works with your skin’s ecosystem, not against it.

A restorative ritual for your skin and body:
Your skin has a microbiome just like your gut, healthy skin starts from balance:

1. Gentle cleansing: Avoid tap water with chlorine or soap, which can disrupt your microbiome. Consider purchasing a shower and bathroom sink filter if you do not already have one. 
2. Apply the serum: Pat a few drops onto clean, damp skin morning or night. Let the living probiotics and acetic acids do their work.
3. The gut-skin microbiome axis: Adding a splash of our fermented vinegars to your water or one of our fermented sauces to meals helps digestion, supports your gut microbiome and complements your skin-care routine.
4. Lifestyle alignment: Reduce added sugar, soak in gentle morning sun (*this is when infrared is strongest, no need for a lamp, go hydrate your skin with the sun!), hydrate with vinegar in your water, and nourish your body to reflect on your skin.

Why you’ll love it:

• Raw, alive, and probiotic-rich for balanced, radiant skin
• Naturally contains acetic acid to gently tone and protect
• Small-batch, tropical botanicals, and naturally fermented
• Works in harmony with your body’s skin and gut microbiomes

Ingredients: Awapuhi Juice, Mango Vinegar infused with Garden Rose and Lavender

Because it’s raw and living, store in a cool, dry place after opening. 

WHY WE MADE THIS:

Our neighbors have an awapuhi patch that we get to harvest each year. It only blossoms for 1 month of the year and to harvest the juice is a labor of love. The flowers can be juiced in place and will regenerate themselves. I juiced the flowers 3 times to get enough for a 50 50 vinegar blend. I initially made shampoo vinegar with the first harvest before realizing how much more I love it on my skin. Its phenomenal on your hair, definitely makes it silk smooth, but I prefer it as a face serum! We hope you all enjoy this carefully crafted concoction. 

The mangoes came from our tree and took 4 months to brew the vinegar. To make it smell nice, I infused lavender and roses! 

We hope you enjoy :)
