From This Island blossomed from a single seed of inspiration: to harness the power of Indonesian homegrown botanicals, intertwine it with centuries-old wisdom and cutting-edge science, and create a whole new skincare experience that is effective, safe, and powerful.
THE MAGIC OF INDONESIAN BOTANICALS
Indonesia is a tropical treasure trove of superfruits, loved by locals for generations for their healing & skin-boosting benefits. Think of our ingredients as hidden jewels, each one unique to our beautiful islands and loaded with antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals that work wonders for your skin.
ANCIENT WISDOM, MODERN SCIENCE
We marry time-honored traditions with cutting-edge skin science. Our team of dedicated experts delved into the roots of Indonesian heritage, unearthing ancestral knowledge about the healing and nurturing properties of our land's natural resources. This ancient wisdom, coupled with scientifically proven active ingredients and contemporary formulation techniques, ensures that our products are efficacious, soul-enriching, and respectful for our environment.
OUR FARM-TO-FACE PHILOSOPHY
We believe in a Farm-to-Face approach for our skincare. This means that we use homegrown, organically cultivated plants for each of our product. By controlling the journey from our farms to your skin, we maintain the highest quality and integrity of our ingredients, while supporting livelihoods of our local farmers and communities!
Our Impact
OUR IMPACT: FOR THIS ISLAND
We are committed to giving back to the communities that provide us with our extraordinary ingredients. When you purchase one of our impact products, part of the proceeds will be directed towards an education initiative in the island where the hero ingredient is sourced. We believe in the transformative power of education and our impact fund is dedicated to empower and uplift these local communities.
By choosing From This Island, you're not only treating your skin to luxurious skincare, but also contributing to a greater cause! Thank you for being a part of our journey towards making a meaningful impact, one jar of cream at a time.
Our Founders
A NOTE FROM OUR CO-FOUNDER
Growing up, my mother taught me the importance of self-care. She shared with me the wisdom of Indonesian beauty traditions such as “lulur,” a herbal body scrub, “boreh,” a spice-based face mask, and “jamu,” our traditional herbal drinks. All of these have guided me to harness a natural glow.
Yet, as the beauty landscape shifted and evolved, I couldn’t help but notice a gap - our local, age-old wisdom wasn’t getting the spotlight it deserved.
Driven by a powerful mission, I’m now committed to rediscover the power of my roots and share their transformative power with the world, while prioritizing safety, efficacy, and scientific research.
From This Island is more than a skincare brand; it's a celebration of our authentic selves and a reminder that the most beautiful version of us is the one we fully embrace. I am, From This Island.
Love,
Maudy Ayunda
