There were many handmade products that we made and sold at Rapa Nui Natural Products, for example jams made with fruits from the island, chocolates in the shape of moai or gourmet salts with herbs from our organic garden.
We started the production of natural cosmetics in our workshop with handmade soaps, but soon we included other products such as bath salts, solid perfume, massage bars, massage oils, lip gloss, etc. All prepared with a large amount of natural ingredients from the island itself (herbs, fruits, algae, etc.) and from the beginning under the brand Anakena.
That experience was so well received by the local population and visitors to the island that it prompted us to go a step further and launch ourselves into the adventure of creating, on a much larger scale, a brand of natural cosmetics inspired by the beauty, aromas and raw materials of the island.
