About Us
We are Ceilán [see-lan]
Our name comes after the island of Sri Lanka, located at the heart of the Indian Ocean. Home to one of the world’s oldest holistic traditions called Siddha.
We create ethical, sustainable, natural skincare products, traceable to their origins.
Much of the ‘organic’ and ‘natural’ skincare products available commercially, still use synthetic ingredients. It’s easy to forget that for much of history, people got their beauty fixes from essential vitamins, botanicals, and minerals derived directly from the earth.
Deep rooted in the culture of the island, comes folk knowledge and age-old remedies to nourish the skin.
We value a nature-to-body approach when it comes to creating our products. Ceilán curates botanicals from ancient Sri-Lankan traditions into modern skincare.
OUR VISION
Our vision is to create skincare products with maximal organic potency and richness, untainted by chemical additives. Our purpose is to cultivate beauty for
ourselves, our future generations and our planet.
We are committed to supporting the wellbeing of our farmers through the fair-trade partnerships we build and the community empowerment projects we run to address equality and eliminate injustice.
The Ceilán Foundation is our commitment project to improve the livelihood of our farmers partners and their wider community.
