Founder Shrankhla Holecek was raised in India, immersed in the knowledge and cultural tradition of Ayurveda and holistic medicine. When she moved to Beverly Hills for business school, she soon found herself surrounded by misappropriations of the Indian rituals and Ayurvedic practices she had grown up with. Frustrated, she decided it was time to create a line of products with integrity – one that would do justice to her family’s heritage, and its extraordinary legacy of craftsmanship.
With Uma, Shrankhla strove to give women access to powerful, artisanal products that would deliver dramatic results – of the rapid, perceptible, and sustainable variety. This is why our oils are a combination of ultra-pure botanicals and time-tested formulas – tailored to address the stressors and ailments we face in the modern world. Tested by over a thousand women, our proprietary skincare blends delivered visible results in skin brightness and clarity, and reduced fine lines in 93% of women surveyed.
The Uma Estate is comprised of a 100-acre meadow, carefully chosen for its nutritious soil. Each plant is harvested no more than twice before re-planting, a painstaking, low yield process that ensures the absolute highest quality oils.Â
