Ona Organics

Founders Amanda Arapoglou and Elizabeth Dorow are friends of over 10 years, who were both drawn to study Ayurveda. For Elizabeth it came after years of farming the Moringa tree and studying its healing properties. Amanda’s practice of vedic meditation lead her to the traditional East Indian medicine and becoming a mother inspired her desire for pure skincare products. The women joined together and combined their knowledge to create an all natural Ayurveda inspired beauty ritual. The line incorporates plants and minerals with healing properties, specially selected to nourish the skin, mind and spirit. Including both the seed oil and leaf powder of the Moringa tree. Rich in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, the plant is said to have anti-aging benefits and helps remove impurities from the skin. The collection currently includes a facial scrub, mask and beauty oil. Each item is packaged in glass and shipped in eco-friendly packaging.
