About Us

Despite both my parents being (really amazing) medical professionals, they instilled in me a profound belief in exploring holistic alternatives as well as using conventional medicine. This guiding philosophy has significantly shaped my approach to skincare, leading me to the most natural products available to soothe the itch of eczema and sensitive skin. On this journey, I discovered Ayurvedic skincare, rooted in Ancient South Asian Medicine. It harnesses a diverse array of natural herbs, oils, and plant-based ingredients celebrated for their healing and nourishing properties. Ayurveda emphasises self-care, viewing the skin as a reflection of overall well-being.  So, a little pampering is the perfect place to start!

Wanderlust led us to Sri Lanka, my dad's homeland, an island abundant in breathtaking biodiversity and stunning natural beauty. We eagerly explored all that Sri Lanka had to offer. Immersing ourselves in the country's rich heritage, we visited Ayurvedic retreats in Trincomalee and indulged in rejuvenating spas in Colombo. Each massage, facial, and hair oiling enveloped us in a sense of peace and tranquillity. Inspired by ancient rituals and traditional herbal oils, our souls were soothed, reminding us of the profound power of wellness and self-care. By the end of our stay, I discovered my eczema had vanished, dark circles under my eyes were gone, and we emerged refreshed and revitalised (aside from a few pesky mosquito bites!) This experience reminded us of nature's incredible ability to heal and rejuvenate.

As we arrived back to a chilly Scottish Spring, I was determined to preserve my Sri Lankan glow. The challenge was finding Sri Lankan skincare. With no online retailers offering UK shipping and no local stores carrying it, I decided to take matters into my own hands. Sri Lanka boasts one of the world's most incredible biodiversities, from the lush mountains of Kandy to the paradise beaches of Trincomalee, each region nurturing the finest vegetation. Why wouldn't we seek the best of nature to nourish our skin?

As our Ayurvedic journey unfolds, I invite you to join us in embracing self-care. Each brand we offer has been carefully selected for its dedication to bringing you the finest natural ingredients from Sri Lanka. In turn, they uphold fair trade practices for farmers, promote sustainability, and ensure cruelty-free products. Explore each brand's page to discover their commitment to giving back to Sri Lanka.

That small, grainy image at the top represents our namesake, the home where my Dad and his family enjoyed their childhood, lovingly constructed by my grandfather in 1949. The name translates loosely to The House of Well-Being, beautifully embodying the essence of our mission—a space dedicated to nurturing and fostering our well-being together.
