ABOUT US
Tierra and Lava is about creating self-care rituals rooted in ancient Mayan healing wisdom.
All of us come from and return to nature – we are nature. To quote Rumi, “You are not a drop in the ocean, you are the entire ocean in a drop.” We are inextricably connected to the earth, and there is power in embracing, harnessing, and fostering our natural beauty and the beauty of nature all around us, like the ancient Mayans did.
We believe you shouldn’t have to compromise with natural skincare - you can have a product that is both kind to your skin and the earth.
We seek to capture the natural essence and healing properties of botanicals at their peak, unspoiled form to create beautiful, lush skincare products that have the power to unearth your natural beauty. With every moment you spend caring for yourself, you are restoring your connection to the earth and your natural powers that come from it.
Our ingredients are locally sourced in an ethical and transparent way so we can ensure quality at every part of their journey; from inception to the final product. We build relationships with our farmers and financially support them so they can carry on the legacy of their disappearing traditional Mayan cultural practices. Learn more about their traditions here.
