The Beginning
Marcella Beauty was founded by Marcella, a multinational traveller who has spent the last decade living in four different countries while building her business.
Since childhood, Marcella has had a deep interest in nature, particularly in plants. Her grandparents, who lived their entire lives in the forest, played a significant role in shaping her passion. She spent a lot of time with them as a child, and believes it is thanks to their influence that she has unconsciously moved in the direction she is today.
The Middle
As a young teenager, Marcella became fascinated with using plants and natural ingredients as hair and skin care products. She experimented extensively at home, which sparked a deeper curiosity. This curiosity led her to Indonesia, where she immersed herself in the study of botanicals.
In Indonesia, Marcella learned from local medicine men, known as "dukuns," who shared their extensive knowledge about the unique properties of various plants. She spent months traveling through different regions, understanding how these natural ingredients could be harnessed for beauty and wellness. This experience was transformative, igniting a passion that would eventually lead to the creation of Marcella Beauty.
To come
For Marcella, her hair has always been her pride and joy. She adores taking the time to look after her hair and skin, finding immense pleasure in these daily rituals. To her, hair is not just an adornment; it's her spiritual connection to her deeper self. The act of caring for her hair has taught her patience, gentleness, and commitment, and in the process, she believes she is nurturing her soul as well. This deeper connection to her true self is what Marcella believes propels her forward, grounding her in a sense of purpose and self-awareness.
