Makana Candles
Clean, Handcrafted Candles
Makana, meaning "gift" in Hawaiian, embodies the traditional belief that people, animals, and the land are interconnected, their destinies intertwined. At Makana, they celebrate this harmony through their handcrafted candles, each a testament to the beauty of living well, clean design, and fresh, botanical-based products.
Makana's candles are not mass-produced in factories. Instead, they are meticulously hand-poured and hand-blended in small batches in their California studio using artisanal techniques. This hands-on approach ensures each candle is crafted with care, featuring a minimal and uncomplicated ingredient list. Their methods blend traditional and modern philosophies, rooted in a lifestyle of balance, harmony, and respect for the land and sea, inspired by aloha.
Makana believes in slowing down, unplugging, and savoring the moment. Fragrance is more than a scent; it is a gateway to memories, transporting us to cherished places and moments in an instant. This is their gift to you—the gift of fragrance.
An Artisanal Tradition
Makana products are created in the timeless tradition of artisans—selecting each ingredient with care and blending by hand in small batches to ensure quality and uniqueness. Their studio eschews large machinery in favor of small melters, pouring pots, and hand-blenders. Shelves are lined with natural ingredients and premium oils, alongside beautiful, environmentally-safe labels and packaging.
They combine their passion for the environment and simple design with West Coast and tropical sensibilities, honoring their Hawaiian ties. Adhering to the Hawaiian tradition of malama i ka ‘aina (caring for the land), they ensure their products are both eco-friendly and health-conscious. They believe that by taking care of the land and its inhabitants, we receive in return the gifts of sustenance, balance, health, and well-being.
