Our Story

"From my childhood, I was always closely connected to nature. Growing up in South India (where Tv and Internet didn't even exist), I grew up using all natural ingredients from head to toe, from the kitchen and our own backyard plants including flowers and herbs. The Indian Ayurvedic tradition was a big part of my life as my father used to make herbal energy balls at home to take on a daily basis to prevent many common ailments. We also used flower and herbal remedies to make our skin look and feel great.

Growing up, we never had the money to afford the store bought skincare products and were always apprehensive of the incredible amount of synthetic chemicals used in most modern skin care products. Instead, we focused on our traditional wisdom that focuses on natural looking beauty that is a reflection of your own inner beauty.

Since all of my extended family are farmers, I would spend my school holidays on the turmeric and jasmine forms picking flowers, decorating our hair, making our own face masks, hair oils, hair wash powders, bath powders etc.  My love for plants made me study botany for my undergraduate degree. Only after I came to the USA, did I start realizing how hard it was to find quality natural skincare products that do not bother my skin.

I created True Village Naturals  so that everyone could experience the powerful, skin nourishing benefits of wild turmeric. I strongly believe that "Natural Beauty Deserves Natural Ingredients."- Sugi, Founder of True Village Naturals
