The Story Behind the Vision
The seeds of my journey were planted in the tranquility of my garden, a sanctuary where my powerful connection with nature blossomed. For years, the joy of plucking herbs and fruits straight from the earth fueled my passion for nurturing both body and soul. Inspired by this, I extended my culinary creativity to the realm of skincare, a venture driven by the desire to share the benefits of my creations with those I hold dear.
​
In the early chapters of my life, my botanical fascination centered on a singular plant: Aloe Vera. Captivated by its myriad benefits, I integrated it into every product I crafted. Aloe vera, recognized for centuries for its health, beauty, medicinal, and skincare properties, holds a rich history. Its name, derived from the Arabic "Alloeh" meaning "shining bitter substance" and the Latin "vera" meaning "true," speaks to its authenticity. Revered by ancient Greeks as a universal panacea and hailed by Egyptians as "the plant of immortality," Aloe vera naturally stimulates collagen production, bestowing youthful firmness, while its astringent properties tighten and rejuvenate the skin.
And so, the journey unfolded. ALINA, meaning "bright light," embodies not only the radiant essence of my creations but also pays homage to my mother, my guiding light. Her unwavering support fuels the creative sparks in my life. Thank you, Mom—your brilliance illuminates every step of this creative journey.
