Hi, I'm Helen. My story begins in my birthplace, Iran. A mysterious and magical place full of rich tradition and ancient wisdom.
get to know me
My family immigrated to San Diego when I was nearly 2 years old. In high school, I made my first trip to Iran and saw family members I couldn’t even remember.
I spent months with them, learning about the food, the culture and the rich traditions. It was a whole new world to me.I was moved by the warmth and wisdom of the culture and for the first time I really knew what it meant to be Persian. I admired the culture’s dedication to family, to learning and to self care.
spices as beauty
I was introduced to Hamam (Turkish baths) and indulgent skin care ingredients including rose water, turmeric and saffron
I would watch my aunts grind and add saffron petals to delicate face oils and stood mesmerized as they massaged these rich oils onto their skin. I fell in love with my culture and returned home with appreciation for its ancient traditions
It wasn’t long before my skin craved the nourishing ingredients and products I had used.
