Artistic Expressionist Ravenna Amalia

Big Islander Ravenna Amalia is a natural beauty lover who creates artistic expressions of inspiration and healing through her company, Apothecary Botanique. Talented at many things, the focus here is her enthusiasm of handmade and therapeutic products.

In summary, we’re talking divine perfumes, potions and elixirs. Examples are Yummylicious Body Butter, irresistible Wine & Chocolate Perfume (a signature scent created for the Volcano Winery), Luscious Lip Balm, Wake Me Up Organic Coffee & Sea Salt Scrub, Skin Healing Herbal Salve (made of Hawaiian kukui, beeswax, propolis, lemongrass), and get this ― Prosperity Attraction Potion (created only during the waxing moon).

Check out Ravenna’s goodies on her Etsy Shop. And if you’re shopping old-fashioned style in person, find her creations at Blue Ginger Gallery in Kainaliu, Kona Art Gallery in Holualoa, Paleaku Peace Garden in Kealakekua, Volcano Garden Arts in Volcano, or Volcano Winery in Volcano.

Product descriptions are detailed with many local ingredients and personal sentiments. After following natural-organic potion creators for multiple years, I’m most impressed. It’s such a joy to discover an innovative supplier that Big Island may be very proud of. So be inspired, supportive, and pass the word!
