At LipNotes, our story is one of family, craftsmanship, and heartfelt dedication.

 It all began with Big Kahuna Native Naturals, a bath and body company founded by Terry and Becca Levie. Terry, lovingly known as The Big Kahuna, was the heart of the business — the mastermind behind the formulas and the driving force behind their mission. Inspired by his Hawaiian heritage, Terry created a line of natural products including salt scrubs, body butter, healing salve, and their signature lip balm in a tin.

 While Terry perfected the products, Becca handled everything else — from building relationships to managing the business — ensuring that Terry’s incredible creations reached the people who needed them most. Her dedication and hard work turned their family business into something truly special.

Everything changed when Wynn Las Vegas approached Terry and Becca with a special request: Could they package their incredible lip balm in a tube with custom branding? That opportunity marked the birth of LipNotes — a dedicated custom lip balm brand that combined Terry’s perfected formula with high-quality, personalized packaging.

From Big Kahuna to Lipnotes: A Custom Label Journey

The Wynn Las Vegas opportunity opened new doors, sparking a thriving custom label business that now serves countless businesses, events, and brands. What started as a tin of lip balm became a product loved by many, thanks to its superior ingredients and thoughtful craftsmanship.

Carrying On the Legacy

Though Terry has since passed on, his legacy as The Big Kahuna lives on through the values and quality he built into every product. Our dedicated Office Manager, Tori, has been a vital part of our journey for over 25 years, ensuring the business continues to thrive with the same heart and attention to detail.

Today, as Terry and Becca’s children build their own families, they proudly carry on the family tradition and values, ensuring LipNotes remains committed to delivering exceptional products with a personal touch.
