How It Was Done

OUR INGREDIENT PHILOSOPHY

100% Natural. 100% Intentional. 100% Transparent. We believe in the extraordinary healing power of nature's pharmacy. Every plant, every oil, every botanical extract in our products has been chosen not just for its individual benefits, but for how it works in harmony with sensitive skin and other natural ingredients. Our Promise: Never harsh chemicals that trigger rashes or breakouts Never ingredients that compromise your skin's natural barrier Never synthetic additives when nature provides a gentler alternative Never testing on animals – ever Always transparency – you'll know exactly what's in every product and why

INSPIRED BY GRANDMOTHER'S WISDOM

Traditional ingredients that have stood the test of time. SHIKAKAI (Acacia Concinna) Nature's gentlest cleanser Just like our founder's grandmother used, shikakai has been nature's soap for centuries. Rich in saponins, it cleanses without stripping, leaving even the most sensitive skin feeling soft and balanced. No sulfates, no harsh detergents – just pure, gentle cleansing power. COCONUT OIL (Cocos Nucifera) The golden elixir of nourishment Cold-pressed and virgin, our coconut oil carries the same nourishing properties that kept grandmother's skin luminous. Rich in fatty acids and natural antimicrobials, it hydrates deeply while protecting sensitive skin from environmental damage. SANDALWOOD (Santalum Album) The fragrant healer Authentic sandalwood, sourced sustainably, brings its legendary soothing and anti-inflammatory properties. Perfect for sensitive skin prone to redness and irritation, it calms while imparting that subtle, elegant fragrance that speaks of luxury and purity. ...and many more nature's treasures, each carefully selected for their gentle effectiveness and compatibility with sensitive skin.

ETHICALLY SOURCED, SUSTAINABLY HARVESTED

Good for your skin, good for the world.
We work directly with farmers and co-operatives who share our values:

  • Fair trade practices that ensure growers receive fair compensation
  • Organic cultivation methods that protect soil and water systems
  • Seasonal harvesting that respects natural growing cycles
  • Community support that invests in local infrastructure and education
  • Biodiversity protection that preserves traditional varieties and ecosystems

OUR GENTLE ENHANCEMENT APPROACH

When nature benefits from thoughtful innovation.
While we are proudly 100% natural, we believe in ingredients that work harmoniously together. Sometimes, this means using beneficial processing methods that enhance natural ingredients' stability, absorption, or effectiveness – always ensuring the final product remains completely natural and gentle.
For example:

  • Cold-pressing oils to preserve their beneficial compounds
  • Steam distillation of essential oils for purity
  • Natural fermentation to increase bioavailability of botanical extracts
  • pH balancing using natural acids and minerals for skin compatibility
