In today’s article, I’m sharing my honest Leahlani review after testing 12 of their bestsellers. I tested the Pamplemousse Oil Cleanser, Bless Beauty Balm, Mermaid Mask, Pamplemousse and Bless Aromatherapy Essences, Meli Glow Mask, Aqua A Renewing Serum, Happy Hour Serum, Pua Lei Coco Infusion, Pua Lei Perfume Oil, Pamplemousse Body Oil and Pamplemousse Shower Bar.

Leahlani Skincare is a 100% natural, organic and sustainable Hawaiian skincare line that uses organic, wild-crafted and local Hawaiian ingredients. While the line has grown over the course of more than a decade, Leahlani products are still made in small weekly batches right at their Kaua’i studio and shipped out within a few weeks max to ensure freshness. Even though there are both hits and misses in the Leahlani line, I don’t think I’ve ever met an organic Hawaiian skincare brand I didn’t like (Mahalo, Honua, Leahlani). Leahlani offers subdued luxury, Hawaiian essence and tropical scents that transport. You’re about to get your aloha glow on, because I’m sharing my favorite Leahlani products in this Leahlani review (save 10% with discount code OBL).

Pamplemousse Replenishing Body Oil

I am so impressed by the formula of Leahlani’s new Pamplemousse Body Oil – it has nearly all organic ingredients that are potent enough for your face! This has got Astaxanthin, Sour Sop Seed Ol, Lupin Seed Extract, Vitamin C in the form of Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, Oat Kernel Oil, Pineapple Oil, Papaya Oil and of course the signature Pamplemousse scent of pink grapefruit, vanilla bean and guava. I would characterize this as a medium weight body oil that’s very lush and silky but rich enough to moisturize the driest skin.

Leahlani Mermaid Mask

I know this is a cult favorite and many people absolutely adore Leahlani’s Mermaid Mask, but I wasn’t a big fan and wouldn’t repurchase this. I simply didn’t fall in love with it, which is what I was expecting after hearing so many rave reviews. Mermaid Mask is a raw honey based mask enriched with green superfoods like Hawaiian spirulina, sea clay and chlorella.

Pamplemousse Cleansing Oil

Pamplemousse Cleansing Oil is truly a standout product in the Leahlani line. It’s so silky and lightweight and dissolves the day’s makeup and sunscreen easily while keeping skin moisturized. With water the oil ever so slightly emulsifies and rinses off. Pamplemousse Cleansing Oil is fruity, tropical Hawaii in a bottle for me. I love a thoughtfully formulated and fragrant cleansing oil that turns my otherwise tedious nightly sunscreen and makeup removal routine into a luxurious ritual.

The Leahlani Pamplemousse Cleansing Oil is a blend of tropical oils, enzymes of pineapple + papaya, sweet vanilla bean and fragrant floral essences. During the summer, I’m very drawn to the tropical scent and formula of this cleanser. It has guava fruit, banana extract, and pineapple fruit along with plumeria and hibiscus flower extracts in a luscious blend of macadamia, sunflower seed and pink grapefruit peel oil.

Pamplemousse Aromatherapy Essence

The Pamplemousse Aromatherapy Essence is the same scent as the Pamplemousse Cleansing Oil bottled in liquid perfume form. This one is also a roll-on perfume in a fractionated organic coconut oil base but feels much more liquid-like. It has a fruity, creamy and yummy scent profile made up of pink grapefruit, vanilla bean, plumeria and guava. Compared to Bless Aromatherapy Essence, Pamplemousse is more sultry, sensual and grounding while Bless is sharp and tart.

 

Leahlani Bless Beauty Balm

The Leahlani Bless Beauty Balm is a buttery, dusty rose-colored face balm that nourishes, softens and smoothes skin. Bless Beauty Balm is a soft and easy balm to use with a beautiful floral scent of blue tansy and orange blossom. I love that it’s not overly heavy and find Bless Balm light enough to use during the day if I want, and a great nighttime balm to slug. I would characterize Bless Beauty Balm as a non-greasy face balm that feels a little bit drier than most clean beauty face balms. It’s not rich to me at all and would be suitable for people who don’t typically like face balms.

Leahlani Bless Beauty Balm is made of:

• Cocoa butter and Shea butter base
• Argan, Marula, Moringa, and Camellia seed oils
• Passionfruit seed oil
• Rosehip flower
• Orchid extracr
• Blue tansy flower oil

Meli Glow Mask

This an illuminating aka brightening mask made with organic raw Hawaiian honey, plant oils, Vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, and clays. It’s even got strawberry, guava, banana, grapefruit and starfruit extract. This is a luscious honey mask that works best after a pore steam sessions. My skin responds very well to this make and does look supple, plump and bright after.

Here’s what Organic Beauty Lover reader Angie says about Meli Glow Mask,

I’ve used this mask once a week for about a month. It’s made my skin feel so soft after each use. I was shocked the first time I used it because I’ve never had a face mask do that before!! It’s a gentle, moisturizing mask and is such a treat in the week. I love the organic ingredients especially the raw honey because it’s supposed to have so many healing properties. I want to buy this as gifts for the holidays. Definitely recommend it.

Aqua A Retinoid Renewing Serum

Just like all Leahlani serums, the Aqua A Retinoid Renewing Serum is an oil serum. I find Leahlani’s retinol serum to be light and silky and it has the most fragrant fruity sweet scent. This sea green-hued serum features a type of retinoid called HPR retinoids, which are an advanced form of bioavailable vitamin A. It helps with speeding up cell turnover to reveal new skin without any of the irritation. It’s also packed with ceramides, apple and Argan stem cells, superfood spirulina, green caviar oil and helps with fine lines and wrinkles, skin elasticity, balancing skin tone and strengthening the skin barrier.

Leahlani Siren Serum and Happy Hour Serum

Leahlani serums are not my top favorites from the line, but I can see why Leahlani fans enjoy these. Leahlani Siren Serum and Happy Hour Balancing Serum are actually oil serums not water based serums. They  were intentionally formulated to replace your moisturizer and are both lightweight and silky.

Happy Hour Soothing Serum addresses redness, scarring, dry patches, irritation, acne breakouts with an organic blend green tea, white tea and rooibos tea. It smells of lavender and reduces inflammation with a blend of lavender, chamomile and rose geranium.

Leahlani Siren Serum is a brightening face oil brimming with Vitamin C and A. It has a concentrated blend of 15 regenerating essential oils that help even skin tone and fade acne scarring and hyper pigmentation. Siren Serum also contains micro algae to boost cellular energy and smells lightly of sweet citrus.

Pua Lei Perfume Oil

Pua Lei Perfume Oil is 100% natural and is made of creamy tropical florals, sweet tuberose, and exotic puakenikeni flowers. Wearing Pua Lei feels like I’m wearing a freshly picked Hawaiian Lei. The Leahlani Perfume Oil lasts a solid 5-6 hours. Because it’s an oil, this perfume lays close to the skin, so it’s a fragrance just for your enjoyment. Pua Lei is very much a floral fragrance.

Leahlani Bless Aromatherapy Essence

One of Leahlani’s personal favorites, Bless Aromatherapy Essence is an intoxicating tropical scent that’s reminiscent of a warm summer evening of rain falling on citrus groves. It’s a roll-on perfumatic aromatherapy blend made in a base of organic fractionated coconut oil without any alcohols and a proprietary blend of essential oils that has the same scent profile of Bless Beauty Balm. I get notes of strong notes of citrus and more subtle notes of tansy and florals.
