In honor of Thanksgiving each member of our team took a day to share something we are most grateful for as well as to highlight our personal Ola favorites!
Healing Remedy is my favorite Ola Product
I'm grateful for my family because they provide me with unwavering support, love, and a sense of belonging. Through life's ups and downs, they are always there to listen, encourage, and share in both the good and the challenging moments. Their presence creates a foundation of stability, and their care reminds me that no matter what, I’m never alone. Family brings comfort, joy, and a deep sense of connection that makes everything feel a little brighter.

My current daily serum. Love the fresh smell and helps minimize my fine lines and age spots.
I am always thankful for my family for loving me, my friends for the laughter and this place I call home for keeping me close to my roots.

I'm grateful for Ola Tropical Apothecary. When my parents started the business back in 2005 I had just turned 6.
Every year for the last 20 years my parents tirelessly worked, learned, and evolved their business with Aloha and the spirit of “Ola”.
My family immersed itself into the Hawaiian culture with a dedication to cultivate Hawaiian native plants to use in their products with sustainable practices to “Live Pono”. The land is what gives life and we as the people of the land must take care of it. It was always of upmost importance to work with the land and its people and to share the “wealth” of natural healing remedies.
For me, I grew up in the heart of Ola Tropical Apothecary.
As I grew I got to watch the business grow along side many dedicated men and women who have become apart of our ohana; From the Farmers in the Kalo fields to the skin care professionals around the world. I’m grateful for every opportunity and every person Ola has brought into my life.
This year I’ve been lucky enough to work along side my Mom at Ola to truly see her dedication in action. A true entrepreneur and super mom.
Hayden's fave is the Volcanic Foot Scrub!

Thankful for Keiki, 'Ohana & Ola Tropical Apothecary.
I am so blessed to raise my keiki (ages 14, 7 & 1) here in Hawai'i. Thankful for the opportunity to continue to perpetuate the culture, values and community that I have so deeply rooted in myself. Watching my children grow has been the absolute JOY of my life and I am awed and inspired daily to be my best self for them!
I don't think I can express how truly thankful I am that Ola Tropical Apothecary is made in Hawai'i with REAL ingredients that are grown/found here. We're a small 'Ohana of women that are dedicated, dynamic and powerful.
Over the years I am so thankful for Robin & Denise's aloha and willingness to give me the opportunity to contribute to the legacy of Ola.
One of my absolute FAVE products is Mana Moisturizer - I was diagnosed with psoriasis on my hands and feet and this moisturizer has helped hydrate and combat my cracked, dry skin. I also got my first Tattoo this year & decided to prep my skin with Mana Moisturizer. I read up on aftercare and decided to put Mana Moisturizer to the test! I healed beautifully and didn't experience much discomfort and peeling/itching. NOW to prep for touchups and adding final touches!

I love using the Ola Pono Herbal Body Mist after showers because it is so refreshing and I love the scent!
- Pualena @ Ola
I want to express my deepest gratitude for being part of then Ola team. Working here has taught me so much about passion, quality, and the beauty of creating with purpose. The lessons I've learned in crafting organic skincare have been invaluable.
And I have to say, Safe Haircare has always been a quest and passion of mine.
Farm to Shower, Ola shampoo and conditioner are my absolute favorites for all hair types —they’ve truly transformed my hair care routine!!

My favorite Ola product?
Ola Pikake Body Butter of course! Why? Because I have dry skin and there isn't a better product on the market that keeps my skin hydrated and moisturized all day long. It is truly remarkable how incredibly nourishing, replenishing and therapeutic it is for dry skin. And the scent, simply put, transports me to my happy place every time I use it. For me it is Summer time, childhood- at- the- beach nostalgia. Its where I want to be!
What I'm most grateful for?
My life with Ola Tropical Apothecary. It has been THE journey of a lifetime! Thanks to the commitment, support and stewardship of my family, hanai family, friends and team members, Kumus and spirit guides, my Ola journey has given me great insights into humanity, culture, farming, healing, humility and gratitude. My experience working with people, spas, wellness focused businesses, Hawaiian focus businesses and community has provided me with an immense education and deep compassion. Ask and you shall receive! What a fortunate girl I am!
