Today I (Petra) would like to show you the beginnings of "Anakena" on Easter Island. First I started with handmade soaps with herbs, flowers and roots from my garden. Then it continued with bath salts, creams, shampoos, herbal scrubs, lip gloss, ... I made almost all cosmetic products for which there is the possibility. On this basis, the cosmetic brand ANAKENA was born. I still make these products, especially soaps, added jams, chocolates, teas, and various other non-cosmetic homemade products.
