OUR HERITAGE AND PROMISE
We believe in loving the land that nurtures us and preserving old world wisdom. Rooted in sustainability with a focus on protecting our watersheds- the end result is not only good for the earth but inadverdently extremely beneficial to you.
CALIFORNIA MADE
We formulate, mix and package every single product by hand in California. We attempted to outsource the manufacturing process, and the magic that makes our little jars of Crème Concentrée so special - the creamy oil texture, organic sweet floral, citrus ambrosial aromatics was lost. So we reverted back to doing nearly everything in-house, from the chemistry to the final packaging - there’s no shortcuts here. It’s a true labor of love, but we think the end result is so worth it. Our formulas are unparalleled in performance and quality because of the copious amount of nutrient-dense ingredients. There's no hiding behind any fillers, water, synthetic bases or fragrances. The end result is a wholly transformative experience for your well-being ritual and the land.
THE PERFECT BALANCE OF OPPOSING ENERGIES
Lanativ is a play on the words, LA Native, since I am a second generation Chinese-American, Los Angeles Native. It's an homage to the dynamic, bold, beautiful women of Los Angeles who love life and live a whole lot of it. I formulate with ingredients cherished and passed down from the resilient women in my family and compound with western techniques I learned as a clinically trained pharmacist. Lanativ is 100% waterless, a nod to the historically severe drought conditions in California. Without any water or filler to hide behind, the phytonutrient-dense botanicals, minerals and clays inspired by Traditional Chinese Medicine are allowed to shine, and rightfully so. The end result is the most decadent self-care ritual inspired by old world eastern wisdom from undiluted, inherently potent, pure botanical magic that is good for you as well as the land.
INSPIRED BY THE WOMEN IN LOS ANGELES
The inspiration for LANATIV comes from the amazing women in Los Angeles who love life and live a whole lot of it. I started noticing that there comes a price to living in everlasting golden hour, from premature fine lines and sun spots to exacerbation of inflammatory or allergic skin conditions. There was a distinctively stark contrast to our counterparts from less sunny, populated regions. So we set out to create intensive, inherently potent formulas using only the very best Mother Nature has to offer, trusting in all the wise women who came before us and loved the Earth first. Living your best life shouldn't come at a cost. We CAN enjoy Mother Nature in all her glory, she has given us all the tools we need to protect and nourish ourselves. That is what LANATIV sets out to accomplish: harnessing the most powerful, potent bounty on Earth to reflect the very best version of YOU, inside and out.
With Love,
Megan (Founder)
