HOW WE DIFFER OUR STORY
ORIENTANA OWNER
Orientana comes from Poland. Its founding mother – Anna Wasilewska – have fallen in love with Asian nature many years ago. While staying in Asian countries she learned about natural medicine and how to use secret fresh plants for skin improvement. She learned Ayurveda and used Ayurvedic formulations to fight skin and hair problems. When she came back to Europe she decided to change her life style and make it close to nature & zen philosophy. Following the return from Asia her life was turned towards ecology. At that time the idea of creating natural solution for skin care appeared. She wanted to give people what helped her and many Asian woman – natural ingredients from Asia. What helped ? Scientific proofs. She cooperated with scientists all over the word who had examined Asian natural medicine and conducted studies on herbs which proved Asian herbs do work.
With the help of Polish, Indian and American cosmetologists and experts the first cosmetics were created ten years ago. Now we have app 100 SKU and as promised they are totally natural, made of Asian herbs known in Asia for thousands of years and proven by modern science. We mastered Asian herbs in modern formulations.
