Artist in Residence - Adva Essentials

A message from Donnella:

"Skin has always been a sensitive topic for me. Throughout my life, it seems that my skin has rebelled against me in one way or another, and as a result, I faced teasing. In my late teens, I experienced a brief respite from my eczema and sensitive skin issues, only to have them resurface during early adulthood and pregnancy. Now in my early thirties, I can look back and laugh at how obsessed I was with achieving perfect skin and the countless products my mother bought to help me, all in vain. Despite the challenges I faced during that time, it marked the beginning of my skincare journey.

As a result, Adva Essentials was born out of necessity and the need for balance. The Hebrew word 'Adva' means little ripples or waves, symbolizing the understanding that improvement can only occur through small changes. My products became the drop of water or catalyst for my journey.

After extensive research, I concluded that only the best ingredients I could afford would be utilized. From cold-pressed, organic oils and butters to organic herbs and botanicals, and from paraben- and phthalate-free fragrance oils to essential oils, I ensured every ingredient was carefully selected.

Treat yourself or surprise someone special with my exquisite products and experience the transformative power of nature's purest offerings."
