The Principles behind every Spa Ceylon product

At Spa Ceylon we have a fierce love for, and commitment to, the wellbeing of our community, country, planet and fellow creatures. We have applied that commitment at every phase of our business and nowhere is it more apparent than in the way we formulate our products.

Each and every one of the products in our ranges are guaranteed:

• Paraben Free - Parabens are commonly used as preservatives and appear in everything from sunscreens to toothpastes. Parabens have been discovered to possibly contribute to serious medical conditions and while the proof of this is still forthcoming, we at Spa Ceylon have chosen to avoid the usage of Parabens altogether.
• Paraffin Free - Used as a lubricant and emulsifier, paraffin forms the base of many skincare creams. The bottom line however is that paraffin is actually derived from the petroleum refining process. In fact, Paraffin wax is the final by-product in the chain. We at Spa Ceylon have chosen to avoid the usage of Paraffin in our products.

• Alcohol Free - alcohol is used by many skin care brands in everything from cleansers to moisturisers. Ethyl alcohol or ethanol and isopropyl alcohol are included because of their effectiveness as preservatives and solvents. There are detrimental effects such as dryness, which allows other ingredients to penetrate the skin. With our products you can rest assured that you will suffer none of these side effects.
• Not Tested On Animals & 100% Vegetarian - Spa Ceylon has never and will never, test its products on animals. We believe that animals belong in the wild, not in the laboratory. No animal by-products. Everything we source is 100% cruelty free and natural.
• We promote Sustainable Harvesting & Support Community Fair Trade - Sustainable Harvesting is a form of agriculture that uses a resource in a way that ensures that it is not depleted or permanently damaged. Fair Trade means that we help develop sustainable businesses that have a positive effect on the surrounding communities. It also means that any produce we obtain from these farms is well and fairly paid for. Our Aloe Vera project in Kalpitiya is a great example of Fair Trade at work.

“Tea is drunk to forget the din of the world” - T'ien Yiheng

100% Fresh and Organic Ceylon Tea

For centuries Ceylon Tea has been sought after and widely praised as the finest in the world. Rich in anti-oxidants, nutrients and polyphenols, Ceylon Tea is renowned for its natural therapeutic, curative and soothing properties.

For many of us, making and then sitting back and sipping a cup of tea, is a much loved ritual. One of comfort, relaxation and sharing. A precious moment away from the rush, bustle and demands of everyday life. This singular moment was our inspiration. If tea can give us wellbeing from the inside, why not from the outside? Thus was born the Ceylon Tea Therapy range designed to protect you from the sun, brighten skin, defend against ageing, calm, and act as an excellent after sun treatment. Naturally, we source all our tea right here in Sri Lanka, using a combination of high and low grown leaves and the best local technology to create our unique Spa Ceylon blend of white tea, green tea and black tea.

How do YOU take your tea?

With a slice of lime?

Then try Ceylon Tea and Citron Bath and Massage Oil with 100% Natural Ayurveda Actives - Green Tea, White Tea, Black Tea, Aloe Vera, Sesame, Virgin Coconut, Almond, Sandalwood, Lemon, Lime and Orange, that rejuvenate, soothe, and protect, while energising and improving circulation and overall health. Enjoy it three ways - warm and massage, dab on wet skin after bathing and then towel dry, or, the ultimate relaxation, add 3 tablespoons to a warm bath and just soak up the pleasure.

Then try our creamy Ceylon Tea and Spice Body Scrub. It promotes cell renewal and brightens skin; while Sandalwood, Coriander and Walnut combine to help purify, remove toxins and dead cells and clear clogged pores. All the while warming Cinnamon energises the senses. Before you bathe, apply the scrub lightly all over your body. Leave for 5 minutes, then wet your skin with milk, massage in circular motions for another 5 minutes and then wash away. It is the perfect indulgence.

No matter what your Dosha, you will find that our range is just your cup of tea.

Feel like your skin is suffering under the harsh effects of sunlight, dust and pollution? Want to regain a luminous and even tone? Then choose WHITE - our newest range of products that help boost your skins natural renewal process, revealing lighter, brighter and radiant skin.

Our range of White Jasmine products is designed to suit those of the Vatha Dosha; while White Tuberose lends its power to the products custom made for those with Pitha and Kapha Dosha.

White Jasmine, it's intoxicating scent has held many in its sway. In Sri Lanka, its essential oil is valued for its healing and aphrodisiac like properties. It is also a reputed anti-depressant, anti septic and a calming sedative. Considered to be an emblem of feminine kindness, jasmines are often given as gifts.

White Tuberose. With a fragrance that is akin to gardenia and jasmine but considered warmer and more exotic, White Tuberose essential oil is one of the most precious oils in the world, renowned for its distinctive scent, and credited for stimulating serenity and creativity. It is also a deeply sensual fragrance and is known as “Mistress of the Night” in certain parts of Asia. We found that it provided the perfect base for our White range for individuals with Pitha and Kapha Dosha.

Our goal is wellbeing on every level; from the ingredients we use, to the methods in which we source our products, we are proudly and transparently dedicated to working in beneficial and sustainable ways that ensure we 'give back' to the communities in which we operate, and to the amazing island we call home.

Our Save the Ceylon Elephant range sends 10% of every sale we make, into authorised projects designed to protect this most majestic creature. Our goal? To contribute to the practical resolution of the human-elephant conflict, to remove our elephants from the endangered species list and to once more see elephants in Sri Lanka reach pre-colonial era numbers.

Our Peace range also gives 10% of our sales back to community projects that are designed to rehabilitate people and areas damaged by war and to help fortify and build on the hard won peace that we, as a country and people are now fortunate to enjoy.

We are also particularly proud of our work in Kalpitiya where our Aloe Vera community trade-farming project has been providing sustainable livelihoods for 50 families. Set up in collaboration with the Marine & Coastal Resources Conservation Foundation in the arid Kalpitiya zone on the north-western coast, the project is a first of its kind when it comes to organized, large scale organic cultivation of Aloe Vera in the country.

As Pliny the Elder famously said “Home is where the heart is” and indeed, for most of us, home is our sanctuary; the place we come to for shelter, security, peace of mind, rest, acceptance and the place that more often than not, contains the people we love the most.

As such, we did not forget the importance of bringing the healing properties of our products into your living spaces. Our LIVING range encompasses not only products that have an aromaveda benefit but also make beautiful and exotic visual additions to your decor.

The LIVING Aromaveda Collection includes our range of 17 essential oils and blends.

The ocean is a vast and glorious unknown - stretching far and deep, its immense aquamarine glory an eternal mystery. Our Ocean Treasures Collection celebrates the solemn beauty of the sea visually, while also lauding two unique therapeutic fragrances - Lemongrass and Cinnamon.

Our Living range is not just for your home; carry our fragrances into your other important spaces - use them to enhance your focus, productivity and creativity at work, take them on your travels to relax and restore your mind, or gift them to those you love to bring them the benefits that only Aromaveda can offer.

Our organic Gotukola is sourced from the Gampaha region in Sri Lanka and comes to us absolutely fresh and untainted.

Found in Balance massage oils, conditioners and oil mists, Virgin Coconut also forms the basis for many of our other products. And the reason is no surprise - Virgin Coconut oil has been scientifically proven to be naturally anti bacterial and rich in natural vitamin nutrients essential for health and well being. Our 100% pure oil comes to us from organic farms in Sri Lanka's fertile 'coconut triangle'.
