Our Story

Where It All Began

Every journey begins with a story. And every story finds its purpose along the way.

For Eco Brown Essentials, it all started with raw, real and yet profound kitchen tales. Tales of blending herbs and ingredients inspired by age-old Ayurvedic traditions. 

What started as a childhood passion for creating skincare with turmeric, sandalwood, and lentil flours grew into a lifelong commitment to holistic well-being and conscious living.

It was simply a passion, until the day my mom developed psoriasis.

Watching her struggle pushed me to create my first handmade Ayurvedic soap. It was a gentle soap infused with nourishing botanicals, which were highly inspired by rich Ayurvedic wisdom. To our surprise and relief, it brought her real comfort. 

That single moment planted the seed of a purpose: skincare that nourishes people, crafted with ingredients you can trust.

As I grew up in a home where nothing from nature was wasted (orange peels were sun-dried for cleaning, coffee grounds became scrubs, and herbs like tulsi and neem grew in clay pots), I developed an attitude that wellness can be simple, pure, accessible and zero-waste.

However, as I started exploring the beauty and wellness industry, I was shocked. More than 85,000 chemicals saturate personal care, many untested; plastic packaging everywhere. We needed a better way to care for ourselves and the planet. I knew there had to be a cleaner, safer, more thoughtful way.

Eco Brown Essentials was born with one purpose, to make healthy and sustainable living accessible and simple for everyone.

At Eco Brown Essentials, self-care and earth-care come together in every choice. Rooted in Ayurveda and zero-waste living, we make healthy and sustainable living accessible and simple for everyone.
