The story of kuana

a heritage of healing

The formula behind Kuana traces its lineage back more than 2,500 years. In Sri Lanka, it was preserved in sacred scriptures written on palm leaves, bound into books known as olas.

This wisdom belongs to an ancient science called Deha Dhamma — "divine body care" — where plants were understood as both nourishment and blessings for the body.

CARRYING TRADITION FORWARD

Born of friendship, mentorship, and a sacred blessing, Kuana carries forward a Sri Lankan skincare tradition that dates back millennia. This rare recipe was entrusted by a shaman, not only as a gift of beauty, but as a way to bring comfort and relief to those seeking balance for their skin.

Entrusted With a Timeless Tradition

What began as a chance meeting in Costa Rica became the beginning of Kuana’s story. At a pivotal moment in her life, founder Malorie was introduced to the keeper of Kuana's formula. What was shared with her was more than skincare; it was a philosophy of care rooted in nature, balance, and intentional living.

Today, Kuana carries this wisdom forward, honoring its origins while sharing its restorative power with the modern world. We are honored to continue this tradition with you — offering a ritual of nourishment, connection, and timeless plant wisdom for modern life.
