OUR FOUNDER

Honua is a Hawaiian family owned company created by Hawaii born Esthetician, Kapua Browning. She founded Honua Skincare in 2015, when the demand for her Hawaiian crafted products grew beyond her treatment room. Born and raised on O‘ahu as an avid beach girl, Kapua began to notice sun damage and pigmentation in her own complexion as early as her 20’s. In an attempt to take care of her skin, she became passionate about skincare and began to train in aesthetics. She also grew up using more traditional healing methodologies, like Lā'au Lapa'au and accupunture and witnessed the value of treating the root cause of concerns using herbs/plants. After a decade of experience as a licensed esthetician, and extended training in herbalism and product development, Browning began the building blocks for her own hand-crafted skincare collection, Honua Skincare. She saw that there was a need for skincare products that treated the root cause of skin concerns rather than masking them, so created them.

The creation of Honua allowed Kapua to share her love for Hawaiian culture, botanicals and aesthetics with the world. Growing up immersed in the Hawaiian culture inspired her to infuse these traits into her brand. She aims to put ALOHA into everything Honua.
