Thank you Paul Mitchell, who introduced Awapuhi from Hawaii, to Ping 30 years ago. In November 2015, P and I went to Big Island to pay homage to Paul Mitchell at his Awapuhi farm, where he was buried. We brought back some awapuhi ginger roots and they seem to thrive in Taitung condition. The texture is like a very watery gel, absorbs quickly into the skin, leaving the skin feeling soft and refreshing. Instead of shampoo in the traditional sense, I see it more like a leave-in conditioner for hair and lotion for skin.
