Azuria - organic skincare

When I was a child, I was always drawn towards botany- which plant does what, which herb serves what purpose, what can be done if you mixed certain spices. They all seemed to hold some kind of magic for me, and of course, I was immensely fascinated by the concept of “ancient beauty secrets”. Apart from that part of my childhood, I have immense love for nature. I love surrounding myself in the greenery, being one with nature, with all the soothing sounds that would calm my soul- for which I travel a lot from time to time.

Back in mid 2018, I was having a lot of issues with my skin. I was using all the expensive products that were full of harsh chemicals but I did not get any results. They did not help me, but damaged my skin further. That’s when I knew I had to take matters into my own hands. I joined together my knowledge of herbs and spices and my passionate love for nature and did a lot of research and testings. And of course, I had come up with the right solutions.

My friends also began using what I came up with for some time, and it helped them as well. They were the ones who inspired me to sell this product. I gave it a thought and realized it helped me, and there are thousands of other people out there who might be looking for a similar solution, and that I just had to help them. And that’s how it all started.

Azuria - Organic Skincare was launched on May 1, 2018. The name Azuria is derived from the name of the butterfly “Azure”, which is also a shade of blue. The reason why this name was chosen was because of how a butterfly transforms itself from being a caterpillar to its final state - a beautiful butterfly.
