Who are you and what do you do?
Sweet Mana is a local artisan company offering intentionally formulated botanical skincare, body butter candles and luxurious bath & body products. We blend our eco-friendly products with plant-powered ingredients and island vibes for glowing skin & elevated well-being.
Where did your business name come from?
Sweet Mana was born from my absolute love for the Hawaiian islands. I lived in Maui for a year and during that time, I was very drawn to the energy of the islands. I felt spiritually connected to the island way of life, the people and the Polynesian culture. Mana can be described as an energy, life force or a soul's essence... and that is what I felt in me and around me. Now, I want to spread those good vibes and aloha spirit through my products, no matter where my customers and I are living.
What motivates you to create?
Having a positive impact on my customer's level of daily well-being is the greatest motivation for me to create and grow my brand. I want my customers to feel healthy, empowered, connected and beautiful. I also love working with healing ingredients found in nature to help us all get back to the basics of clean beauty. Skincare should be safe and effective for our skin, our soul & the planet.
What do your customers love about your products?
My customers love my CBD infused topical products!! The feedback has been incredible for general muscle soreness, a multitude of injuries and joint pain. Customers also enjoy my creative aroma blends as well as the texture and consistency of my recipes. I make my products ultra-rich, so they last a long time and a little goes a long way.
What do you love about craft show vending?
I love having the personal connection and face to face interaction with customers. It gives me a chance to hear their feedback, understand their needs and gives me the opportunity to educate them about clean ingredients and herbal healing properties.
Will you be featuring any special holiday items?
Yes! Every year, I create limited edition holiday inspired candles and offer curated gift packages that make a wonderful gift for that special someone.
