About Us

Ancient Origins

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 blessing for the body.

Kuana carries this tradition forward, uniting timeless knowledge with modern artistry, so that every drop honors the past while nourishing your skin in the present.

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.

Today, we are honored to share this tradition with you — a ritual of nourishment, connection, and timeless plant wisdom.
