Love, love, love their products! All freshly made in the shop with tropical scents. The lotions and moisturizers are some of the best I’ve tried. They’ll even make up custom products for you with the scents you prefer. My go to place for gifts. Plus, I love supporting our local businesses.

LOVE this place. If you want great bath and body products this is the place on Kauai. I had custom lotions and shower gel made in Fresh Linen. If you find an item you like and you don’t see a particular scent, just ask. They probably can make it for you. Cori & Graig are super friendly and helpful. My husband purchased the Ocean Breeze After Sun/After Shave cream. He likes it. Cooled his sunburned shoulders and made his face soft and moisturized.

We stopped here on our last day in Kauai and let me tell you, I wish we’d stopped a few days earlier, especially after my sunburn from snorkelling! I got a very severe sunburn that was so painful I had to go to urgent care. The gentleman that runs the shop noticed my blistered burn and suggested that I try a sample of the Coco Mac after sun care body butter. The relief was INSTANT! I purchased a small tub of it and as per the owner’s suggestion, I slathered on a semi-thick layer that night. The next morning, the redness was dramatically reduced! The shop has a ton of body care lotions, soaps, and oils, all handmade and local. The options are endless, and the scents are fabulous. None of the lotions we purchased are greasy feeling at all, and that’s major for me! The man was so so nice and I highly recommend visiting this cute little shop. He was incredibly helpful and knowledgable of all his products, and even offered to put certain scents in certain unscented products. The only thing I can criticise is the prices, which are slightly high on certain things. But at the same time, I completely understand that a business owner has to make a living on such a small island. Take a look around, there’s so much to smell!

I came here with my fiancé and mom a couple of days ago. My mom had lots of questions about all the products as she wanted to put together some gifts for my sister’s wedding that just happened last night. Cori and Craig were super helpful and patient. Their stuff smells really good, feels good on the skin. Cori put some coco Mac on my bug bites on my face and I noticed that it did feel much better during that whole day. I’d highly recommend anyone coming to Kauai to check them out to get souvenirs that people actually wanna receive and use. And I will have to go back the next couple of days to grab some coco Mac too! :)

Everytime I travel somewhere that’s super clean or known for natural things(e.g., Hawaii, Portland, San Francisco), I like to visit their local handmade soap shops. I’m a fragrance monster, meaning that I like to smell everything possible. Since Garden Isle has so many different fragrances, I grabbed every soap bar and inhaled. Kauai rainbow smelled like candy, and Yuzu was a fruity flower. I wanted to buy a bar of everything that I liked, but since I had to resist from hoarding and spending loads of money on soap, I chose the Yuzu. The soap has shea butter, so I’m looking forward to using it. Garden Isle makes all of their soaps in the store, and you can see the soap making stations from behind the counter. There’s also a cute dalmation dog hanging out there, so make sure to say hello to him!

As soon as you walk in, you’ll be welcomed by the aromatic smell! We loved meeting the owners Cori & her husband Craig«the soap guy»! If you tell Cori what you’re looking for, she will help you find the best healing creams for you. I ended up getting the face & neck cream $ 20, and since my husband loves the smell of plumeria, I got the plumeria perfume oil $ 15. If you check in Unilocal,you will get a free bath soap! Also, they are a Kauai Made store, so if you have a Kauai Made coupon, you can get a free luggage tag! They have a variety of products for the face, bath, and body, as well as candles. You can test out their lotions, creams, Body Frostings, butters, and perfumes. They have Shea Butter Soaps, Aloe Lotions, Paraben Free body creams, massage oils. All made from the purest of ingredients, and 100% pure oil fragrances. We will definitely visit Cori and Craig at Garden Isle Bath & Body every time we visit Kauai!

We came in to Garden Isle right before lunch at the Olympic Café — looking for gifts for friends and family. They have an extensive selection of different bath and body products, as well as candles and other things. The owners are really neat people, very friendly and inviting. The guy even made my Mom and I a deal — if we bought two things we got some little soaps free which was great. I got some mango madness lotion, as well as some mai tai scented lotion that smells soooo heavenly, and exactly like the drink. I’m glad we stopped in to this shop… they definitely have some great products. I didn’t find anything for anyone else… but that’s only because I want to keep it all for myself… oops! :)

Excellent products — my favorite is the intense moisturizer and after sun treatment. Highly recommend this store — been coming to Hawaii for 30+ years and these products actually live up to the hype.

A very, very cute little shop. I ended up picking up quite a few things here. So let’s start. The body frostings are amazing and they are paraben free, which means they were the perfect gift for a friend who is very particular about those sorts of thing. It only comes in four scents but lucky for us, one of those scents happens to be her favourite. I love how it feels, love the variety of scents(even though they haven’t put out many), and it’s paraben free. I ended up getting an awful lot of soap, both for myself and my mom. They have a lot of scents and different varieties, all of which smelled fantastic. I’m a sucker for anything with oatmeal and they managed to put oatmeal into a lot of mixtures and it came out amazing. The brown sugar, cinnamon, and oatmeal bar? I don’t even want to use it, it smells so good. As does the lavender and oatmeal bar. There was another oatmeal one I picked up but alas, I forget it’s name. For myself I also snagged the Cinnabon which smells like they greatest cinnamon bun ever as well as the coconut bar. For my mom, I sent her the rose, Kauai Acai Berry, and one other one that I forget.(Forgetting which ones you picked up is okay, especially when you’ve grabbed so many). The owner was incredibly kind and very informative. Great customer service, cute little store, and yes, the products are so very much worth it.
